Interesting to see arms without the flouncy shirts. Would look wierd I think though to have flouncy pants and regular sleeves though, right?

Still, definitely looking forward to these. I've decided I need a mercenary Ogre regiment.

No, it would not. Certain patterns of landskneckt did not have poofy sleeves. and fit tighter to the arms.

Now I want female Grogands in dresses

An army of Madame LaFarge's...with lasguns and rotten apples!

How about fancy pants plus berets?

Might be a workable look.

No matter though. I want full on flashy swiss guard fantasy Ogre mercenaries, so there's not much on the Sci Fi side for me except possibly as big guns for Orks.

Rogue Trader Ogryn bodyguards seem like a natural use. Sci-Fi up some Conquistadors, add ogres, cannon fodder for crew….seems pretty easy.

So, like a cantiniere?

That totally works...I was looking @ the conquistadors kit the other day so, I'm like most of the way to jumping on this idea.

What about a sprue bundle when the ogres cone out then?

Do the Peculiar Companions Ogres have separate heads? If so, that might be a good bundle deal, or if you could offer packs of just the Ogre heads to modify WA or Mantic Ogres.

A couple years back I did buy a bunch of GW ogre bulls parts to modify Reaper Bones Ogres. the heads and hands/weapons really went a long way to make the bones ogres more ... varied.

I can go for those top 3

Yeah something like that or vivandières in appearance but actually fighting.



Basically in the Napoleonic Wars and US Civil War there were women who provided food, laundry etc and were dressed in feminized versions of the soldiers' uniforms. Visually it would be pretty different and would fit that nice window of "I never knew this existed but now I want it".

They do not. Separate arms though.

Wargames Atlantic has posted a painted example of the Ooh Rah, with Matthew Leahy painting.

Matthew Leahy has delivered the first shot of a painted Ooh Rah figure. This set is currently in tooling and Matthew is painting the 3D prints for the box cover. Here's the paint test on the first guy. These should be up for pre-order in the not too distant future as tooling gets to a T1.

These will be in the McDougall designs store for preorder at $30 per box as soon as I am allowed to put them up.

Hm. That's a really competent sculpt, sharp and sensible, but not very... exciting.

The upper thigh straps needed to be down by about 2 widths of the strap. Just looks sooooo bad.

I was hoping the Space Nam guys would not be so overmuscled that I could use the Ooh Rah head and arms on them, but it looks like that is not the case.

And no way to convert the legs. Grrrrrr


He also looks fat...the bottom armor plate looks like it is protruding. Hope its just the angle.

I like that they are almost exactly halfway between Colonial Marines and Mobile Infantry (movie version).

Have not built any of the Raumjager I've bought, but IIRC, there are female heads in there. Bulldogs can use a female set as the uniform tunic is not unisex.

I meant to reply to this much earlier; yes, there is a female head on the standard sprue. The Raumjaeger armor is pretty unisex.

Raumjager could really use a redo still - they're the oldest kit in the Death Fields range and it shows, from the tiny sprue to the somewhat stiff poses to the fact they look overall a bit too wide and fat.

Yeah, I thought they threaded the needle on this one.

It's adequate considering the competition, but I think it has a lot of rather obvious technical issues. The goofy thigh straps may be a matter of taste, but the shoulder straps have the same weird flaw as the bulldogs' ones where they bend in a completely unnatural way, as though they had a horizontal strap pulling them towards the center of the chest.
I also have serious issues with the gun. It looks neither functional nor stylish. All they had to do was take any modern assault rifle and make it extremely chunky, but instead they chose this weird rectangular block with a silly hand-guard.

The gun is supposed to echo the various 90s sci-fi blocky guns, like in the Aliens or Starship Troopers

I like em. Get me a box or two to shoot aliens with.

Between the "big zippers" and "weird straps" talk, I kind of want WA to embrace it and just release some fetish wear minis. I think that would make a good second wave Ogre box... "Rocky Horror cosplay Ogres"

Lol, crossdressing Ogres in fishnet stockings, high heels, mini skirts, halter tops and collagen lips. Ogre hooker brigade.

So 110th st in brooklyn???

Guys, this may not be my place, however should we not return to on topic discussion?

What sprue kits would you like to see made with the ooh 'rah?

You mean like 3D-printed add-ons for the Ooh 'Rah?

 KidCthulhu wrote:

That's an option.

I've started putting up packs of sprues tailored towards specific conversions for sci Fi figures, or as potential diorama stuff.

For example, someone suggested two a sci Fi sampler pack of several different sci Fi kits wargames Atlantic makes.

Perhaps a set of Oo-Rah and some CF crew/colonists?

I really love it. Just got my bulldogs, and with them I can finally do plastic Mordian Iron Guard
