Gear looks like not-Renegade Guard, proportions look a lot like Landsknech Ogres. Weird.

Could be another space dwarf set too, of course, looking at the proportions.

Chaos Einherjar?

Definitely looks like ogres. I got 5 boxes of the Landsknecht ogres. Would get a box of this. I can use the 1 billion spare landsknecht parts on these...

I wonder why another box of ogres so soon though. Guess that means Ogre box 1 was successful. But if these are being announced does this mean its being added to the Vox Populi thing or outside of it. Though I doubt it really matters as we are 3 months in and the highest ranking set has 104 votes...

I do hope for some female ogre torsos and heads in this months digital release though. I have a box of Ogres saved just in case.

The proportions and the ripper gun screams Ogre to me. The weapon looks like the teased Troll renders. So I'm cautiously optimistic for armored Chaos Trolls.

Not-Ogryns then?

Notgryns? Nogryns?

The sword struck me as being like an orc, specifically the LotR movie Uruk hai.

Wow they've got everything I need. Plus Lizardmen with flint locks, a Halfling militia, and Aztecs.

It is crazy that the Ogre's sprue only has two medieval combat weapons but 3! sci Fi guns. Very disappointing and whacky choice. They did the same thing with the Lizardmen.

Stopped me from buying both.


EDIT: THE ABOVE IS TOTALLY WRONG! THERE IS A WHOLE SPRUE I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT. KIT MAKES SENSE!

Egg on my face etc!

The ogre set has two different sprues and far more than 2 medieval weapons.

What I don't know is how many of the accessory sprues come in the box. Anyone care to share that info?

Ogres come on two sprue per 3 figures. Several archaic weapon options spread across both sprues including great sword, pole arms, dagger/short sword, black powder pistols and two handed guns.

Ninja’d

Oh wow, that is good to know. I only saw the sprue with the bodies. That is looking like a much more attractive set.

Will edit my comment above.

Its a great set. Easily divisible for unit projects into groups of 3.

Also a hot seller in both forms, despite what people have been saying about the landskneckt look.

I wasn't aware of that second sprue.

I was focused on the not-ripper guns as mine will be sci-fi builds. There's a shotgun as well! The extra variety will be nice.

Yessir! And a skabillion heads. So many of those.

Prophecy tells those ogres (december 2022 release) might even reach the EU someday.

Maybe non-Landsknecht sci fi ogres?

Sarissa has sent them out to the UK. I believe mine have arrived (say believed as a Sarissa labelled box has arrived at home while I'm in the Far East fir the next two months).

They cover the EU distribution for Wargames Atlantic don't they? If so, my fingers are crossed for you. Not in a sarcastic fashion either.

We happily announce the Wargames Atlantic Spring Painting Competition 2023. This is open to projects using any of our figures, including digital and plastics.

So they weren’t ogres /vain after all. Had my doubts on that anyway. Seemed more human now we know they are 👍. Space renegades/traitor guard!

Wait, are we getting plastic traitor guard or are we stuck with digital there?

This is the PHYSICAL releases thread, right? And the image was posted on their newsletter, not on MMF.

To quote the newsletter "Another (yes, another) new hard plastic set in the works!'' yep, HIPS it is!

Fantastic, that's the kind of set that makes people start whole new armies.

Huh? Were the previous images stretched or something, they looked like ogres before?

Need to see the full pictures

Maybe it's a Death Fields range not at all intended as a not-Vraks Renegade army including infantry, command/ heavy options and Notgryns?

afaik if they are death fields, then i finally have some mates for my old FW renegade command and MG's

The human infantry or weapon teams, whatever they are, look good, I like the heads a lot. Could be the start of several things for me.
