Any love here for the last ogres GW made? The multi part monsters.

Quite a bit too big, but I have 10-12 of them and I love them.

Anyone else?

Unless GW does a blood bowl Ogre team in plastic or resin by the time I want my own, I'll be converting. Not sure if I'll start with the Fantasy Ogres or 40k Ogryn.

I like bits of Morg, but I think the head is to big, and I'm really unsure how he is holding that ball.

I only have 2 of them, but I like them and wanted to get enough for a whole team (especially the one throwing the goblin) but alas it didn't happen. I also like the old school BB ogres from GW, as well as the newest ones (plastic kit, Grak, Morg). Guess I've always associated tongue-in-cheek cartooniness with BB so I don't mind the various sculpting styles.

I don't mind Morg other than the ball and spikes. The face looks to have very sharp edges but I think it's just how they painted it, they painted a very sharp transition on the cheek bones, eyebrows and upper lip which make those features look weirdly sharper than the rest of the face, but I think the bare sculpt actually has softer curves in those areas.

But the odd thing I noticed, the model that's painted up on the FW site doesn't look like the unpainted model, the unpainted model isn't squinting anywhere near as much. The unpainted model also looks incredibly rough.

True enough.

Also true.

The skull on his front reminds me of a piano falling on Wile E. Coyote.



Horns aside, it's like someone who'd never seen a skull sculpted one based on hearsay.

It says so on the FW website.

Then I'd suggest that's an error. That's a crazy number of pieces. The big FW tanks have far less parts.

Probably spare balls Ogryn's aren't smart they keep losin 'm!

Error.. mine arrived this morning, but definitely putting him on a 40mm base. :

So, he's seven pieces then?

Aye, cleaning him up now.. already have him on a 40mm (he looks a lot better with some room) and have just put the claw arm on.

Really happy with him now I have him up close.

I like that he's closer to the old GW style ogres than the newer style.

Nice to see that the 30 part thing was a misprint or something.

Not to cross pollinate the streams but on the 40K rumour thread (edited quote to only show the BB products)

Reikland Reavers - 35$

- The same Models as in the Boxed Game

Bloodbowl Ogre - 18$

Finished him earlier, alongside the other FW mini's so far and a Guardsman for scale.




Looking forward to the Ogre, he looked good from the pics on open day, and with the Human team outside the box I might finally consider filling my Reavers and Marauders to sixteen players each. Still hope those rumoured 'alt' position players show up at some point just for more variety.

As a Keeper Of Secrets survivor, I'm glad for anyone building it that it isn't sprues upon sprues of fiddly ass spikes after all.

That experience changed me...

...you found you liked it, didn't you? The spikes were Slaanesh's way of getting its hooks into you...

The Reikland Reavers and Ogre are up for preorder this weekend:

That's one nice ogre

Sweet Ogre!

What's the difference with the RR and the Human team in the Boxed set?

No difference, you can just buy the team seperately from the box now.

Nothing, just a way to fill out the blitzers, catchers or if you want more than 6 lineman from the game box.

Cool.

Thank I'm happy with the the teams as they come for now.

Cheap week for me.

Better ogre. This one has a face, not a collection of odd features on it's head. Despite the fact that it's also got a bunch of spikes and armour bits, it looks a lot less cluttered too. They're no so big, concealing, and overwhelming.

Does anyone have any information about some Special Play cards from a Las Vegas event? Tried searching for "Trap Door man" and "Bet the house" without results.

What about the Winter Bowl cards?

Really don't like the human models, arms are too short and the helmets and poses are terrible.

I think they missed their chance with the shoulder pads. They could have done sets with team symbols on them that could be resin add ons like the chapter shoulder pads for marines.

I wasn't a big fan either, until I started painting them. They are very nice to paint and I think they benefit from a more interesting scheme

My problem with the humans are those weird hand spikes.

Almost like a garden rake modified to work like a fightiing claw.

I love that new Ogre! I just hope the Ogre Team (assuming they do one) has this aesthetic and not either of the Forgeworld resin ones (which aren't bad, I just don't like them). I'd love to buy a full set of Ogre players who look like this guy. Shame they aren't making him more posable (extra heads, hands, arms). I'd buy 6 of these if it was easier to make them look different from each other.

The human team look great, the armor is detailed with dents and imperfections which benefit greatly by a darker wash.

They look over the top ultra violent, which isn't matching their medium low bash stats very well. Preferably the blitzer would be the only one to have these gauntlet knives, but instead, the bashiest player on the team only has a single one! And him having just one murder-hand is also just one of two ways to identify him from the linemen, the other being a slighy larger " cock's comb".
