"Guts of Legend" Ogre Kingdoms customs.

I'm looking at some of the Special Characters in the Ogre Kingdom book, and I think they would make some really neat models. Has anyone ever made models of the following characters? For that matter, does anyone have any ideas for how to make customs of them?

Braugh Slavelord (With a little thought, I think this guy wouldnt be too hard to make)
Groth Onefinger (I dont even have a clue of where to start with this guy)
Jhared the Red (This guy should be pretty easy, mostly it will just be the paint job.)

For Christmas 2004, GW cast 300 models of Braugh the Slave Lord - a special character for the new Ogre Kingdoms army, and gave these to GW store managers as christmas presents. These are extremely rare, and generally go for several hundred dollars when they show up on eBay (I've only seen it a few times). It came with a Certificate of Authenticity, the back of which contained the rules for using him. I don't have one, and doubt I'll ever have the money to burn to get one - but here are pictures for those who want to see it.

I couldn't find anything about him, other then written bios.

The first Ogre to predict the coming of the Great Maw, Groth was considered a madman by his brethren. The moment that he could prove he was right, however, Groth probably wished he had been wrong. The cataclysm that accompanied the Ogre god's coming burned Groth horribly, costing him his eyelids, lips, ears, nose and all of his fingers save one. However, when the firestorm was over, Groth rose like the cruel mockery of a phoenix, convinced his god had come and filled by an even greater faith than before.

Setting out for the impact crater, he led his tribe on through hunger, thirst, despair and eating their own companions until they came upon the Great Maw itself. As it has devoured thousands of Ogres in its coming, this was perhaps the only moment in its existence that the Ogre god was sated. Thus, it allowed Groth to love. Becoming the first Butcher, Groth held a cannibalistic feast at the verge of the Maw.

Nowadays, many Butchers burn themselves in honour of their spiritual ancestor.

though from this description I'd say a Butcher model with some knife or/ GS work could make Groth.

Well, from the Description{and the fact I couldn't find any pics.} I'd say a Hunter could be converted to make Jhared.

Ghark Ironskin
Greasus Goldtooth
Golgfag Maneater
Groth Onefinger
Skrag the Slaughterer
Jhared the Red
Braugh Slavelord
Shrewd Fulg
Blaut Feastmaster
Grandfather Malron Eyebiter
Ghuth Spawnchomper
Bauldig Mountaineater

I found this list, I'm guessing some of these are former special characters of former "Guts of Legend"

It looks like you found about as much as I did on the subject. I actually spent some time putting the the Braugh rules into a text doccument this morning just so I would be able to reference it easier (I found the same picture last night while looking around the net).

The Braugh Slavelord looks like a neat model, but there just isnt any way I'd pay $650 for a single model. At $50 I'd probably do it, but anything more than that would leave me looking for some way to make a custom for him. I'm thinking that some Flagelents will play a big part in this custom.

I agree, Groth Onefinger will most likely require me butchering a model or two, . . . . . .

Yeah, Jared the Red will probably just require a special paint job. Maybe a little something else to help set him apart.

Thanks for the list of characters. It will give me a little something else to look into when I have a little time later this week.
