Thanks Guys!
Rama: Yea I'm not that concerned. Prototype guy will most likely end up in the second+ rank anyways, i hope i didn't make the best one first...
So far my plan is this:
Gnoblars: Dwarf quarrelers - Not going to do much with these as it would be incredibly demoralizing to dramatically convert 2 point models. The look works well and i feel they'll compliment the "Ogre" units well.
Gorgers: Probably large wolves - I have a spare juggernaut i plan to tinker with. I may wait to see the size of the sabercat cav in comparison. Which brings us to....
New Cav: Make the cats wolves - Should be pretty simple, people are already crying Thunderwolf cav anyways. Plus with my modified proportions i should make them be able to more naturally sit on the beasts.
New Big Beastie (Stonehorn) - Big Freakin Bear Monster!: TBD but i cant wait to get going on it!
Rest of the Ogre type units will be more of what you've seen just with differing equipment. More armor for Ironguts, a runecaster/shaman look for butchers, tracker looking Hunter, Beowulf/Game of Thrones Night's Watch Tyrant.
I have plenty of ideas, I'll keep busy...

If GW's Ogres looked like yours, I'd buy an Ogre army in a hearbeat, and I don't even play fantasy!
This gives me hope that I can, in fact, use the Bull models for an Ogryn conversion I've had planned. Albiet with a ton of greenstuff work.

You can never beat your first time. The second generation is shinier, stronger, faster and superior in every regard save one, and it's an unfair criticism to level, but it simply can't be as original. - Andy Chambers, on the evolution of Games Workshop games |

I did Moltar! I think it's great!
I'm not a fan of the white tusk guy as much, but i also just don't know what role it's supposed to play so that could change. Like i said earlier I'm totally "nomming" at the bit to turn that Stonetusk model into some sort of Arctic Cave Bear Monster thing and likewise the cats into wolves.
No real rush for me to convert anything out of that artillery, it's just not my play style. Since I'm making gnoblars as dwarflike models it's no stretch to think of possibilities there. I suppose we'll see how badly i get pounded in like a year when im done and i may change my mind haha.
Update: Pants are being worked on at lunch today so we'll see if i have anything pic worthy by EoD.
Thanks for the encouragement everyone!

Yeah, i know what you mean. I saw that stonetusk thing and my mind instantly went to "Giant Demon Prince of Nurgle" conversion. I'm sure we'll see all kinds of awesome conversions from all these models around the internet when the time comes.
The only thing I'm not sold on is that Ironblaster. There is no way that shoddy wood, tied together with loose bandages, would withstand the recoil from that cannon. I think that whole waggon and the poor thing pulling it would shatter under it's blast.

You're probably right about that, but I already have a fitting cannon for my Ogre army, so that problem is solved.

Update Time!
I have the basic form of everything for the main portion of his body and it looks like this!
I trimmed up the head so he's not such a chunk, kinda subtle i suppose:
I think the Warhammer gods cursed me when i mused earlier that pants would be easier than legs to sculpt. Man was i wrong. It's not harder i would say but it's more time consuming because at least in the way I've been doing it I've done two base layers already and I'm still far from happy. Here's a shot though:
Still need to clean up his chest and core because I'm not thrilled with that either but otherwise he's shaping up. I also think i may give this guy a bandolier with a sword on his back. Not intending to cop out on fixing the chest, but mostly because in my head that pose would be cooler with two empty hands.
It's been pretty amusing though sculpting while wearing my most sacked out PJ pants standing like Captain Morgan to get the way the cloth sits. The looks my girlfriend gives me are priceless.

Looking good so far! Funny thing though, when I saw that first pic there with the belt and thought of the yelling head the first (and now only) thing to pop into my head was Bruce Lee in Enter the Dragon. I just see that ogre with a pair of nunchucks stretched out in front of him crying "dayooooh!"
Which would be super cool, if a tad out of place in your army

Actually, it could work as maneaters. Just have some temple up there and instead of travelling the world your "ogres" could train in a monastary type deal. Would explain the WS bonus and whatnot, plus retaining the artic theme. Also for iron fists you could just model a sheild with an iron spike on the front, sorta like what william wallace was famous for, you know?

Grrr, work is kicking my butt right now but i finally have a worthy update:
The Bellower!
Closed his eyes and added more of a howl look to his mouth. This will be cleaned up a bit when i add hair.
So whats left planned for this guy:
Back/Shoulders/neck - Not much going on there ATM
Hair - I think I'll give this guy shorter hair than Ogre1, there's a guy in Brian Wood's Northlanders series that i may try and emulate. We'll see.
Hands - Still deciding whether i should torture myself by sculpting the hands or not (No good "Claw" open hands for this size). Part of me wants to do it to practice but the other part says this is a 35 point Core model idiot!
Weapons - Planned to have an axe off a loop on his belt on his left and a sword/shield on his back off a leather/furred bandolier. Im thinking of using a Beastmen wooden shield (large) and adding a metal core in the middle.
Misc. - Need to weather the pants a bit, looks too crisp atm. Fur lining on the boots to tie the models together. Overall smoothing/sanding of the sculpted bits, looks a bit rough in a few places.
Hopefully i can get the base of his Back/Shoulders/Neck done at lunch today so i can wrap this guys tonight. One a week would be a pretty good pace for the moment. Plus i'll need to keep it for my August vow!
