As previous readers will know, I've put in a lot of time and effort into building an IG army. Though a lot of it is bog standard GW stuff- Cadians, Russ tanks etc, the majority isn't: it includes diecast metal bren carriers, armoured cars and jeeps, assorted "plastic toy" bits & pieces, various scales of tank/half track/apc, and assorted junk made into landscape of some form.

Troops wise, I have Cadians as mainstream infantry, some Steel Legion, some Valhallan, an all-girl squad from an Australian firm who's name I forget, most of the HQ optional characters and a bunch of Commissars. Recently added are a dozen 28MM Mongol horsemen as a stand-in for rough riders, and I'm planning on using some of Hasslefree's WW1 Halflings in lieu of Ratlings.

I have a choice of some rather mean looking Robogear troopers, or EM4 Space Rangers, as substitute Stormtroopers.

But no Ogryns.

Even on ebay, they cost the worst part of 10 quid EACH, which is ridiculous for a toy soldier. So, Dakkaites, short of using GI Joe (or similar size) what can I use as Ogryns?

Pics please, so I get some idea of what to look for.

GW Ogres work pretty well as Ogryn.

id say look for some ogres, there are some pretty good ones out there

Ogre Kingdoms models are great for Ogryn. Just take them and do some minor converting with 40k guns and such to sci-fi them up a bit. Here's some that MasterSlowpoke made:
