Ok, interesting ogre...

I thought those models were god awful. The newer metal ones were pretty good but by then they'd priced me out on a squad (not paying 100+ for 5 models) so I wound up using Ogre Bulls. The new models are good enough that I might consider picking them up. Granted, if they are $50 per box (likely) it'll only happen on a large purchase that I can pull a siginificant discount on.

These news ones are...disappointing.

I like the guns, but not the Ogryns themselves, in your pic.

GW is making the same mistake that fashion challenged men everywhere make when it comes to establishing their personal brand. The unique look of that truck and the ogryns brings this to mind:


Also, why does that ogryn have a piece of metal plated to his wife-beater?

Good eye. Would be nice if they threw in some stuff for the other IG artillery pieces.

Once i slap a few WHFB bits on these fellas, these armored brutes with fit in nicely my guard. I shall name the mustachioed one Baron Beauregard Thickskull.

I do like them, they could look better if posed like they were charging instead if the relatively static stances in the pictures.Also the colors are just garish and it makes the model look much worse than it is IMO.

I will paypal $10 USD to the first person that converts and paints one of their Ogryn like this:

Well I think I can kitbash frank horrigan from fallout 2 using the ogryn kit. That's about it for me. Though nice to see a hydra

I had these, and my old man painted them for me in an awesome paint scheme (I was like 8 at the time, even back then, those models were too expensive for me too ruin), including one of the more chained up ogryns being painted black with gold chains..... Mr T.

I think color choices didn't do any favors to the Scions or Taurox either. After we see the Scions in a more traditional IG scheme -- and with the alternate heads -- I think they'll end up looking closer to the current models than we realize.

The Ogryns aren't blowing me away, but I think they're solid enough.

I wonder how much these ogryn/bullgryns will cost. It's $22 for an individual metal ogryn, making a 5-ogryn squad cost $110 from GW directly. I'm curious if there will be a notable decrease in cost with the plastic versions.

I wouldn't count on it.

I'm thinking the Hydra will be rolled with the basilisk + others for a multi kit. GW have been doing that for pretty much every 6th ed army now.

Metal to plastic has traditionally involved a price decrease, so I would count on it.

I would actually bet on it being the combi-kit with the salamander if that proves out. Otherwise the preset open rear is good for the mortar type artillery like the colossus and griffon.

Regarding price we're probably looking at 3 for $50-$55. So it is a price decrease, just not a huge one.

There's a basilisk on the back of the Hydra.


An old one.

This iteration of the IG are a hot mess. This is some sort of a joke, right?


Not interested in any of them at all. And those "New" ogryn look like something the cat dropped the hard way.

Eh, I can still use the old Ogryns that are metal, I really like the look of them to be honest, I just wish that the rules were good enough to field them.... although I doubt that's going to happen, they will still be bad I'm guessing.

I just want to see the new rules before I make my list of mass allies. Hopefully the points are still right to run a small amount of Guard.

The Hydra is pretty nice, I could see myself buying one or two of them if I return to 40K and they aren't priced completely ridiculously, which means priced lower than the FW Hydra.
.
The Ogryns are mediocre at best. I like the newest metal ones better. Luckily I already have squad of those waiting to be painted. The Bullgryns are interesting, I need to see the miniatures before I can pass judgment.

Wow. Those Ogryns look frakkin' aweful.

Hopefully that is a plastic Hydra GW will be releasing and not just a FW one they put in the picture to tease us.

The Ogryns/Bullgryns looks about as bad as expected. Though it looks like the one has assault/defensive grenades on his hip, and what appears to missile launchers for weapons? Probably a grenade launcher though. Riot shield probably confers a 4+ or 5+ invuln save.

The FW one is very different, with a fully enclosed cab and it is basically a Chimera with a top bit.

It's like the Manticore all over again I guess.

Why did they make the ogre look like Wilford Brimley?

Reposted so people actually see them skimming the thread. Not impressed with the Ogryns at all.

WTF? Top one looks like the goonies creature....

I like 'em! Bane Ogryn's probably my favorite, but I like that top one and the presumed B.O.N.E 'Ead a lot too (or could it be Nork?).

I love that you quoted all of the pictures and then made observations that were made many times in the last few pages. You just needed to add a 'funny' meme picture to make the post complete.

That is Nork.

At least they have opened up the potential for other sculptors to do a better job on those ogryns. Flipping awful!

The metals were far better (if too expensive!)

Like them a damn sight more than any previous attempts at Ogryns, that's for sure. As others have said, the choices of colour scheme really do the models no favours. The 'cool' thing to do is condemn the models based on a few washed out magazine shots but I'm probably going to hold off on judging, myself...

I like the Ogryn! And the Hydra! And the troops!

The tank thing with 4 tracks is lame.
