Отличные усы у второго. Интересно посмотреть на окончательный вариант. :eusa_clap:

come again?

I'm not sure ogres of any kind would leave their stomack bare according to fluff (except for butchers ofcourse), but it is none the less stunning conversions!!! I think I´ll draw some inspiration from them soon, great job :happy:

"Excellent mustache in the second is interesting to look at the final"

I second that :P

Torin · June 20, 2009, 09:37:44 PM

Simply I do not like these shields)
thanks

The facial hair! The hats! The corpulence! It's... it's beautiful. :icon_cry: :eusa_clap:

OH NOES! It's General Burnside as an Ogre! :icon_eek:
Obscure American Civil War joke aside, well done! I can't wait to see them painted! :icon_cool:

Wish they had puffy jackets, but what you have done is spectacular.

I plan on getting someone on commission to do me a unit like this when I am rich.

Moriar · June 20, 2009, 10:47:36 PM

I actually really like these without the jacket. It really keeps that ogre feeling. Ive seen some awsome conversions with jackets too, but i think these are the best ones ive seen so far! If anything im not a total fan of the sword blades. Thats just me tho. Consider this look stolen for my own ogres!

Ad A Dglgmut · June 20, 2009, 11:03:48 PM

I'm glad you didn't add jackets to them, since I prefer the look of them topless (no I am not gay). It just seems like the right look for an ogre (or horribly mangled chainmail/leather armor). The only thing I don't like is the sword on the second guy, too jagged for my tastes. The greenstuff work is top notch though. :happy:

Torin · June 20, 2009, 11:15:15 PM

Idea such: two will be in jackets, two-without.
about jagged sword: Its flamberge, look at picture:

Do the jagged/wavy edges serve a purpose other han looking cool and getting you killed if captured by the enemy?

Inarticulate · June 21, 2009, 12:51:56 AM

Yeah something to do with spreading the tension in the metal and trapping enemy swords.

Silly German nonsense.

jturner · June 21, 2009, 01:04:11 AM

How much would you charge to repeat?

Eisenherz · June 21, 2009, 01:21:58 AM

Really cool stuff! Keep it up!

(I love imperial ogres :happy:)

Alternitivly, its for fancyness and nothing more ;)

Either way, that bloody good work on those ogres, shame GW dont do something like that, Id buy a bucket load and damn the cost.

steveb · June 21, 2009, 03:54:28 AM

Torin, good health, your ogres are fantastic, do more, please. steveb

There was a belief that a flamberge's edges caused more serious wounds -- it's not based in fact, but it was a common belief at the time (and they looked cool).

Absolutely marvellous !

Padre · June 21, 2009, 02:01:13 PM

They are incredibly good - and I can see there's a lot of work gone into them, despite their apparent 'simplicity'.

What you've done is just perfect for mercenary Ogres in the Empire. Be damned with the gut plates. These dudes are really showing off that they dare expose their bellies - doesn't that make them tougher than most Ogres (mentally, if not physically)?

I may attempt to copy these ideas.

Shadowlord · June 21, 2009, 04:08:26 PM

Some of the best smooth GS work I have seen. :::cheers:::

One pathetic complain - not enough armour.

Torin · June 21, 2009, 04:53:12 PM

agreed, but I could not make the armour well. Has gone by the way of the least resistance)) thanks for comments

JensDk · June 22, 2009, 11:58:38 AM

Great stuff, king-size dashing swashbucklers :-D
I really like the flamboyant hats, great greenstuff work. And som very accurate grinding with a (needle?)file on the 2.nd sword.
Cant wait to see the last 2.

Zak · June 22, 2009, 12:59:04 PM

HAHah i love it!! :eusa_clap: :eusa_clap: :eusa_clap:
