All of the pewter models (Tyrant, Butcher, Hunter, Maneaters) have different bodies. The plastic kits for Leadbelchers, Ironguts, and Bulls all use the same base body with different arms and additional bits.

A lot! Way more then you will need. I bought two Battalion boxes for my Ogres and I think I have about 90-100 Gnoblars, not counting my Trappers.

-Without using green stuff, what kind of conversions will I be able to do? Will there be enough extra bitz from the Butcher sprue to make a second one with an extra body?

You will have extra arms and a head which you can use to modify a plastic Ogre body but it will still need some sculpting or greenstuff work to make it look good.

what Maneaters did you get? there's 6 maneater models, all look pretty cool.

It looks like I got two of the Araby Maneater models. I guess thats not all bad, they should be pretty easy to paint so they look different. I'm just glad that I didnt get two of either the Female or Ninja ones. I wouldnt know what to do with either one of those if I had got two.

I'm thinking I'll only give one of the models a Gnoblar, then give them different colors (Probably red and blue) to help them stand out. With a little creativity on the bases and posing them a little different, they should stand out nicely from each other.

good Idea, and with it not being the paymaster having multiples will give you a theme almost.
the paymaster model is cool, but normally there's only one paymaster right, oh well lol I look forward to seeing your army Guardian.

Thanks! I'm looking forward to the rest of it arriving so I can start working on it!!! Hopefully I'll have everything by this weekend. If all goes well, I'll start building them on Saturday.

Guardian, I came a cross this model last night.

after the model I came a cross last night this model doesn't seem so bad.

this is the Ogre Cheerleader for Blood Bowl.
actually, if it wasn't for the beard the Female Maneater wouldn't be so bad.

Wait, Jacen are you telling me that top picture is a..... Ogre Woman? *shiver* Ugh, hidious!

Guardian_A · **Posted:** Sat Oct 10, 2009 3:47 am

I'd seen the first model before, but the chearleader is new to me. Very funny! I love the Squig pom-pom.

I spent the entire day today building my Ogre Kingdoms army. I got pretty much everything but my Gnoblars done.

Here's what I've got built:
8 Bulls (FC)
8 Bulls (FC)
6 Ironguts (FC)
6 Ironguts (FC)
4 Leadbelchers (FC)
4 Leadbelchers (FC)
4 Leadbelchers (FC)
2 Maneaters
2 Butchers
1 Hunter
-2 Sabertusks
1 Tyrant

What I still need to build:
25 Gnoblars
24 Gnoblars
24 Gnoblars
12 Gnoblar Trappers
12 Gnoblar Trappers

Now, in light of this, I have 6 Ogre bodies that I can either build Bulls or Ironguts with. Which unit would serve me better?

Also, I tend to make units with a full command, then play that unit a little smaller than it was originally built if I dont want one or more of the command models.

All thoughts and comments are welcome. And I'll try to take a pic once I have the Gnoblars built, just to show what all I have.

I'm not sure which unit would serve you better since you have a good range right now.
but I have a suggestion, why not take 1 of the 6 ogre body's and convert it into a maneater or Tyrant. should be plenty of bits left to work with.
I look forward to seeing pics of your Ogre Army Guardian.

Hi Jacen, where did the images go ?

PS. Female Maneasters probably do have beards anyway.

.... I'm sorry Sigmar, I'm not sure what you mean.

ya, you probably right. a pity since the model minus the beard isn't half bad.

Here is my Ogre Kingdoms army so far. I still have three regiments of Gnoblars and two regiments of Gnoblar Trappers to build. Hopefully I'll find the time to start painting them soon.

I plan to use 2 of the extra 6 bodies I have to make "Maneaters." I think I have enough Empire related stuff to make a passable "Empire Maneater" or two.

Nice work Guardian, your models look good. I look forward to seeing the rest of your army when you finish them.
