To kick things off, Ooh Rah review

There was interest in the gladiators in the original thread. Only Games now has them for sale as 3d prints at $10 for the eight figures. No Xenophon as of yet. Since I could not get a more specific URL, here's the product name for when the link below becomes something else. Spartacus Revolt Gladiators

That should be in the digital thread, this thread is for the physical releases aka the HIPS plastic.

In regards to the physical plastic kits, got my Ooh Rah the other week and they're fantastic. Love that blog post, very large and very clear pictures of all the components, they're even better quality than the official ones on the WGA website

Checking the release schedule, looks like a lot of things are still scheduled for mid/late january and we're running short on time. Nothing I'm holding up projects for, but I'm looking forward to that German Sentries kit for Pulp Alley baddies, so many good options in there. I love Nazis, they're like hitmen. No matter what you do to em, you don't feel bad.

I know but before the original thread was split, I said I'd post when Only-Games put the Gladiators in their store. After all, subscribers already know about it, so there' no point in posting in digital. So it won't happen again.

EDIT: Direct link for the WGA section of Only-Games. Maybe Kid Kyoto can put it in the first post for easy reference in the future?

Actually, we would prefer that the only games links get mentioned here, as they are technically a physical product.

That being said, they are physical versions of the digital releases, so it makes sense most discussion about the models themselves take place in the digital thread.

Thanks for this. I will keep my eye out for Xenophon as well.

New SP (small request to WGA - please post those SP images in your newsletter as JPG not WEBP, thanks!)

Finally alternative non-traitor guard in HIPS?
That would be ace.

Why is everyone in wargames so worried about their shins

You would be too if you saw your best mates head turned into mist by an exotic alien projectile because he whacked his shin on a space-coffee-table whilst running for cover and had to start hopping.

Have you ever dived for cover and banged your shin on a rock or tree root? Takes you right out of the fight.

Knee pads and shin guards save lives.

New SP

Is that the upcoming hard plastic version of The Damned?

Those pouches look like the ones on the stl previews/

Or are they Space Soviet Stalingrad/ Afghanistan survivors?

I got a box of Ooh Rah a couple days ago. They look very nice and exactly what I wanted.

I hope WGA further expands the range.

Got my ogres today. 5 boxes. They are a little smaller than I was hoping for, but still nice. Here is a pic of one I quickly put together on break... Also pictured, a Mantic ogre, A GW ogre, a GW special ogre (forgot his name) and a resin Ogre I got on Etsy.

Thanks a lot!
Comparison photos of different companies are always highly welcome.

Do they come with 50mm bases? I was thinking of getting a sprue to make an ogre for my Nobility Blood Bowl team as these have the pouffy sleeves.

No, no bases included. The one in the picture is on a 40mm round base. The mantic one is on a 50.

Appreciate you

Spyrers? 😳

Who makes that ogre on the left?

Quick and dirty catbeast conversion to show compatibility.

Thanks for these pics, Smokestack! Next time I have some cash, I need to grab some of these ogres. The size seems perfect for my needs.

Titanforge. I purchased him off of Etsy.

Knew I had the files for him somewhere. Just need to get a new computer that can slice files better and get the printer humming again.

The WA ogres are more petite than I expected, as I thought they were as tall as the GW ogres, but I guess they would still work together, but head swaps might not.

I can't get past the hands on that ogre. I didn't think fingers so flat and squared were still possible with injection moulding of the last fifteen years.

Still waiting for our Ogres to arrive in Australia.

It is taking forever!

I think the Ogre's have taken over the Shipping Container and the ship for their own doings.

I just wish we could get our hands on all these fantastic new WA releases.

We have been waiting for months.

WGA certainly aren't being helped by the world shipping situation that is true.

I've looked through the Oct 22 Wargames Illustrated that had a WGA advert indicating a Fall release for the Ogres.

I need to see if the Ogre helmets work with left over feathers from GW Pistoliers so they can be added to my small Ventrillian force.

Now, are they going to sci-fi adapt the Treemen box? How could such a thing be represented? Throwing not-Ewoks?
