What's an Ograx?

Baalor turned Oghurs

**Azreal13**

Ooh, cool!

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

For this one you can vote more than once as long as you're voting for something you'd ADD money for (as opposed to just switching from something else)

**RiTides**

Well dang... I love the art for those Ograx! Doesn't seem like they've gotten a ton of traction in the voting, though.

Also not sure how you all keep track of / know what these things look like

just from art teased in the past, right?

And it's over £50K, with just under 3 hours to go! (Shows up as 2, but that's just due to Kickstarter's system rounding down as soon as it's under 3). I must say Mierce has this down to a science, kind of incredible how well they could calibrate that initial Walvax target!

It's fun to watch and I can't wait for my Bil, Nithing

and will share some pics soon of my farrow using a lot of Mierce models (several Broga miniatures, along with a ton of bits from Chaagmuth, Jaw-Taker... and soon to be Bil!

).

**zedmeister**

Aye, there's a lot that's teased. I've got a stack of links if you want me to post 'em up?

**Bolognesus**

...I think you know the answer to that, don't you?

**zedmeister**

Hahahaha, anything in particular? I'd have to dig them out.

**Bolognesus**

Anything Fomoraic for me, mostly.

Any chance those walking walrus units will get boosted to five strong somehow?

And are they planning to somewhat reinforce those nets? I'm a little worried about actually transporting something that will likely be that fragile, attached to such a chunky model. Or will those just require precisely cut to size custom foam?

**zedmeister**

Well, the Mammax were on the previous page and Ograx are above:

Mallax:

Braal:

**Bolognesus**

Thanks!
What base size would Braal be? I really love that concept.

**zedmeister**

Don't know. I suspect 80mm or 100mm myself

(added another Mallax image above)

**Bolognesus**

So big, but not obscenely so. That'd be lovely in the next KS. Thanks!

**Mymearan**

Ograx, Oghur... what's next, Ogor?

**zedmeister**

Oghureach?

Speaking of which, found this. Oghureach (Ogre-centaur) Warlord:

**Bolognesus**

Would that be in the Albainn faction (going by the name)?

**zedmeister**

Yes, it's Albainn. Sorry, just thought it was a excellent concept.

**Bolognesus**

Oh it's a lovely concept. It's just that some of this range can be a *bit* confusing at times and you had me doubting here for a minute.

A (preferably up-armoured!) Fomoraic version of that would be immensely awesome as well - and given the Ograx concepts now out there it seems like a matter of time

**zedmeister**

Ooo, didn't think of an Baalor turned one....

On an unrelated note, these just posted:

Jutes - resin and metals

(Spoilered the rest)

Spoiler:

**Azreal13**

Am I alone in thinking the metals look the superior cast?

**SnotlingPimpWagon**

Walrus men are here!
Awesomesauce

Sadly, I didn`t have the funds to participate. How much time does it usually take for the achieved goal to arrive as minis in retail?

**RoninXiC**

At least half a year to a year after the kickstsrter release date.
You can always ask mierce to get into the kickstsrter section in their shop and order most of the stuff not yet released.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

It really depends how fast the sculptor gets to them,

They look destined for Yannik Fusier to sculpt who hasn't got such a huge mierce backlog (yet) so I'd hope for tail end of the year for KS backers deliveries to start so 2-3 months after that for retail? (of cource I don't know what he's got booked for other companies)

(emailing rob and begging after the KS might well get you access after the KS backers but before retail too)

**SnotlingPimpWagon**

I see, thanks!

**badgermeister**

any krokodar concepts for new models available?

**zedmeister**

Mierce just said the second Fomoraic host is unlocked!

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

The Walrus netter host is also unlocked now

£60K unlocks the Jutgar host so only £6800 to get in 12 mins

**Barzam**

I have to admit, I'm a little disappointed that there wasn't an option for Cnebba on that poll. I would love a chance to get him cheaper. I really wish they had included pics in that poll though. I don't know what most of those items are.
