So I have done some work like what you are askig for.

I am doing chaos ogres and I have used marauder shields and chaos warrior shields on irongut models as well as normal ogre bulls.

Other race shields would work to just depends on what look you are going for.

This sounds quite simple but it looks pretty good.
I can't showyou any pictures since I am away from my ogresfor about another two weeks how ever if you can wait I can show you what I did. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/419710/3728840.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/419710/3728840.page GMT Armored Ogres

This is literally exactly what I was looking for. I want some beefy looking armored chaos ogres. Ideally, I dont even want visible faces. I would prefer all in helmets. I was just wondering if buying mass amounts of the existing armored heads is my only choice. Also,

I prefer the heads that have the chain mesh as a face as well as some other ones.

I can show you pictures when I get home from the school break.

But for the time being marauder shields and such are great and IMO you cant have enough.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/419710/3729556.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/419710/3729556.page GMT Armored Ogres http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/419710/3729719.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/419710/3729719.page GMT Re:Armored Ogres
I would take (various sized) plasticard tubing (or maybe rubber tubing, though I don't know how well that would work.) and carefully cut the tube down the middle into two equal halves. Then cut the tube into shorter lengths, large tubing for shoulder and hip plates and slightly smaller tubing for side plates, arm & leg plates. I would layer them so they overlapped each other slightly like real plate mail. I would build the chest, back and pelvis plates out of regular plasticard or maybe splayed extra large tubing halves with minor GS to fill gaps and help complete the look. Even though each Ogre model is posed differently I would make templates for the chest, back, pelvis plates, so I would at least have a starting point, and wouldn't have to shape each on from scratch.

Again, I've never tried this, but that how I would try to do it. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/419710/3730486.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/419710/3730486.page GMT
