Title: Another WIP (I know I should finish what I have started...)
Post by: kierkegaard on April 21, 2011, 07:55:09 PM
Some of you may remember that I had built an Ogryn servitor, and had him nearly finished when he fell off of a high shelf, hitting everything on the way down, and shattering on the floor.

After a long time spent in pieces, he is finally back together, with significant alterations, and the construction phase is almost done.

What do you think?

A nice miniature-neatly assembled and characterful without being overdecorated.

That's a lot of armor. o.o very intimidating.

Holy moly that's cool! Any chance we could get a scale shot?

I think the fists are an improvement on the last one - these look practical, but also quite capable of crushing rapscallions!

Thanks for the compliments guys.

Here is a scale shot with a fairly standard guardsman model.

As you can see, he is an absolute monster.

rapscallions! 

Now there's a word that doesn't get used often enough!

Blimey, he's a big lad isn't he!

He's great- the hands work really well, and I like the details on his armour.

Can't wait to see him painted.

Very nice work - everything fits together very well.  If it were me I'd put him on a larger base - he's already leaning and as he's fallen once I think a larger base would mitigate against it happening again.

Great stuff!  Two questions:

1) Where are the feet from?

2) Are those kneepads from the RT-era plastic orks set?

R.

Thanks Robey.

Two answers:

1) The feet are from this (http://www.ralparthaeurope.co.uk/10100-shadowrun-troll-museum-scale-p-815.html) awful model (although I didn't pay anything like that much for it.)

2) Yes they are. Well spotted.

ok his much bigger than i thought, i love the movement in the model, any rules for him yet - I would expect that such a character would be very scary to face

I like the update on this guy.  Very clever use of various backpacks for his chest/stomach bionics and the dredd arms fit in perfectly.  I'll echo his need for a larger base, from purely a gameplay perspective he warrants something bigger and it'd be a shame from a modeling perspective to give yourself such a small area to play with in terms of creating a base to match this stunning conversion.
