I converted this squad of Ogryn from OK Bulls for a contest on another website. My IG army is Catachan themed, so that's what I went for with these big lugs. They still need a little sanding work/cleaning mold lines but I'm pretty happy with them. Took me long enough to actually model them - just a few days short of a month. I should have completed photos by the 1st.

Nice work sculpting the guts where those gaping holes usually are.
I love the Wraithlord arm club in the last pic, I did a similar thing with an ork boy. He's holding a Striking Scorpion arm that is still holding its chainsword.
Now just get the last few mold lines and paint them!

I like what you've got here.
The closest thing I have to criticism is the boots. they still don't look military. I like the rest, though.

Nice work!

Nice, real nice. I am diggin' these Brutes.

I finished these dudes this morning with an hour to spare. Looks like I'm gettng a copy of the new Ghosts omnibus for my trouble.

I think I should have scrubbed them first; for the first time I'm having trouble with paint beading and I'm guessing it's due to residual Vaseline on the models.

Closeups:







It's been a little while since I've actually painted anything so they're a little more rough than I'd like but it's good enough for tabletop. I'm going to try to paint something on the banner once I actually figure out what should go on there. I'm also going to try and use some of the dead thrush I just got to hide the stick that's holding up the servo skull - you can kind of see where I already attempted it and fethed up.

I'm thinking the problem I was having with the beading paint was more dude to a gakky prime job than residual oil. You can really see it on the standard bearer dude's beard. I'm going to have to be more careful with shaking and distance in the future.
