Plasticard Ogryn sized sniper rifle on the way, just finishing the stock. It´s bigger than he is!

WIP photos of the two others, just tidying the rifle with trigger and grip, then the GS begins.

those are one of the very few ogre to ogryn conversions that i have seen that do not look like ogres, but actually look like ogryns! they are fantastic!!!!

Very cool sniper rifle - looking forward to seeing these completed!

Wow, that rifle looks great!

An ogryn with a sniper rifle.. The thought amuses me . Some amazing work in here!

The painted ogryn looks fantastic alex! Conversion and paint job both came out superb. Really like what you've done with the BA dread gun.

Sniper ogryn is coming along nicely too. Keep it up!

Excellent work. how did you do the hairy arms?

These are fantastic! Love it so much. Really nice orgryns. How long did it take to mae and paint him?

Same as the shaven head, but in very fine lines. Mix is Tallarn Flesh-Bleached Bone-Fortress Grey (skin mid tone 1-1-1 mix) with some Chaos Black and a touch of Regal Blue. Mix to 40-60 water to paint, then using a fine 000 brush add the lines. I then re-highlighted using only the flesh tones.

Not so long, around one week of maybe 2 hours per night for the first one with the frag cannon, painting probably about a day in total spread out over a few weeks as I went away for work in the middle of painting!


Some progress to report but without photos, got the basic GS done on the other two for the boots and the legs. Off again for work but this time taking the models, GS and my tools with to carry on. Should be adding some photos later this week.

Decided to change the pistol for the bone ead as the sniper rifle turned out so nice, so plasticard ripper pistol instead of a converted one coming up too.

Thanks for all the comments - hopefully there should be two more as I ordered all the bits I need (furioso armour plates) to make a unit of 5.

Fantastic mods,exalted. Cant wait to see more.

Not much more to add on the compliments: just great work you do here!

So, if I follow you correctly, all of this is just for fun? Not going to field them?

Thanks for posting the WIPs of your up-and-coming guys. Great poses you have going!

My only (extremely nit-picky) bits of CC on Bennet: not a fan of the "Da Big Gun" tag. I like the idea of an ogryn tagging his equipment, but the "Da" part is too orky for me. The other (and I think you might have mentioned this), is that the left arm doesn't look like it's supporting any weight.

Keep up the great work!
Rawson

^i quite agree, although i think the left hand (if you are willing a bit of repaint) can be easily fixed by chopping of the fingers at one of their joints and gs them back.. and as i can tell you can handle gs well enough


Automatically Appended Next Post:
also i think instead of doing DA big gun, maybie mah big gun or something a little more of a misspell of a word that way its agian as Rawson said.. less orky

Finally back and done a little, should get some photos tonight. Better new though, all the bits finally arrived to complete, furioso armour plates for the shoulders, sentinel plasma gun and lots of ogre bits. A frantic building session awaits tonight I think!

Evidence of progress (photos):

Sweet!

he looks great so far!

Great work on the ogryn sniper! As an IG player, I certainly appreciate the need for other ogryn models

Those bits you have lying there are certainly exciting looking! What's the plan?

Keep up the good work!
Rawson

I cant wait to see more

Thanks! The bits are for another with a flak cannon, one with a plasma gun (not sure why I bought 3), and the sentinel chainswords have already been combined into one big one for the bone ead. Will see if I get some more done tonight as off for work again Sat.

Hopefully some nice new IG models will arrive in Feb or March if GW decide to release them (Stormtroopers and Mortar variants), but not read anything about Ogryns. They definitely deserve better than at present.

the bone ead sounds promising

wow mate, that ogryn with the big gun is awesome! You are an amazing converter and painter!

Back from an extended break, much to update but for now descriptions only thanks to stupidly awesome ipad giving me awesome new digital codexes but not ability to update photos. Come on apple it's awesome but please!

Have the following done:

Baal Predator with very heavy extra armour, based with highlights, needed wash and then weathering and all the details
Stormtalon, fully finished apart from underside AC turret which is in about version 200 or so, still experimenting, but getting there! All the rest is painted as you'll see in the photos.
Also done resin bases for Mephiston, and also new one for Chaplain Moriar which I don't think I've shown before.
Finally ...... finished last Sanguinary Guard too with base, changed all the grass for Army Painter, much better than standard static.

Got loads of WIP, Necron Cryptek barge, Ork B52, but loads of work to do to start getting photos up, oh and a Space Wolves vs Tyranids diorama for 2013! cos it's just getting bigger and bigger as you'll see

Alex

Photos - thanks wifey for your download cable!

wow glad to see you updating again, the tank looks great, and the stormtalons base is fantastic!
