Title: OGAM - a Nordic summer's project
Post by: nervisfr on July 07, 2018, 11:01:33 AM
Yes, you read it well.

i have start an holiday's project for Of Gods and Mortals games  ;)., that could be fast to realise with not too much work for a busy man like me : Too many projects and so little time  :'( :'( :'(


I found the Godess of the dead, HEL (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hel_(being)), very cool and original :-*
So, after some search in the Reaper Bones'giant i select that one :

77107: Svetlana, Frost Giant Princess

(https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/SkkAAOSwBqZZfE2x/s-l400.jpg)

with very light conversion, i get this :

(https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1789/28223689597_a34678f7a4_b.jpg)

a Wh40k axe and sword.

She is the sister of Fenrir, the giant wolf and the serpent Jörmungandr. So, thay are 2 easy Legends to find in my figurines ' stock.  :D

More informations and pictures will follow soon.

cheers
Eric

i have to choose between Svetlana and  Vanja, (Fire Giant Queen ref 77613) :
this one could be an another good choice ! But with a little more work.

(http://www.reapermini.com/graphics/gallery/4/77613_w_1.jpg)

to represent the half undead body part of the sveltlana , i use some glue drying on her skin and some cutter work to make scars. I drill her eyes to make "more undead look".

My sea snake will be based on this Plastoys ' sea dragon....but more animated than this one

I am planning my own Norsemen for OGAM as I think you've seen, but being away with the family means it is all planning and no buying/building/painting/playing...
Title: Re: OGAM - a Nordic summer's project
Post by: nervisfr on July 12, 2018, 07:31:58 PM
here is the conversion about the Plastoy see dragon.

No extra add, all part are coming from the figurine !

I just need to refresh the base with my new technic water basing.


More aggressive look and more action in the movement :

it's time to work on the other brother of Hel , Fenrir :


Here is the materiel need for the realisation of a Legend vignette  ;)

* 1 Wh40 k wolf (al ready painted)
* 1 piece of garden bark lookin  like a rock.
* 1 Foundry 's saxon from the Death of Harold pack sleeping in my lead's mountain since many months .
The pose make me think the guy was falling from his horse...
(https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1790/43395009652_47bfe25ced_o.jpg)
* An axe and a shield , from the stock (GB or Artizan ones).
* a few tools for conversion work.

(https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1828/42650521354_89f454d2bd_b.jpg)

Now you are ready to get an uncommon Fenrir.

and now the bad boys. The undead.

i start with some of my LOTR's dead army. A few guys in stock found in a job lot from ebay.
i just add some viking items to make "look like".

(https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1789/42534408554_8fc479c5fc_b.jpg)

the other warriors will be based on the Mantic zombie-Ghouls box from my plastic stock   ;)
i have only one sprue of GB dark age warriors to mix with them so the conversion work must be ingenious to reach my goal : 20 undead for the goddess to lead in battle.....

Title: Re: OGAM - a Nordic summer's project

and more undeads, now based on Mantic and crossover with GB/GW/Fireforge/metal parts etc.....

and add more undeads with a standard bearer

(https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1766/42534414634_57a8097be6_b.jpg)

ragged clothes are created with paper hankerchief coated with glue-varnish. When dry it's hard and ready for paint.  ;)

Only just caught this thread.
Lovely work so far.
I see that again we have very similar starting points with our OGAM forces and I really must steal the idea for the serpent as that is something that I have been dithering over.
I love yours.

Thank you boys.

The snake is an easy conversion. Just a question  of cutting and  and setting up the different parts in a natural way

Back to this project because i just found the missing figurine to complete my Fenrir base (see page 1).

the first from the right will get the job to be a new victim for Fenrir.

All is ready to be based except that one now on the paintdesk  ;)

The warriors are from the Heroscape game original box.

i think so.
the problem is that the game is classified as a a collector now. i got mine when in bargain at nearly nothing.
The extra/supplement blisters (per faction) are overrated and very expensive.

Well, some games played mi-january at our club game's day .

Bring 6 armies to deal with, during the day. But play only 2 games  (too many buddies talking).

Hell's army display (at 1000 pts) versus a Cavemen's army (from my own list)... :

Hell
a Valkyrie
Fenrir
a Frost giant
2 unit of 10 viking walking deads
1 unit of 6 archers
1 unit of Berserker

i'll try to post a picture soon... ;)

After a long break, i 'm back to this project and others about the OGAM world.
For example, this god's victim. Killed during a fight against Pan (or may be Cernunnos).

Just found this thread - wonderful work on all of the minis - especially the Fenrir vignette though.

Nice collection

Bought the book last week and looking to primarily use Ankh Gods of Egypt boardgame figures for my forces - A new wargame without having to buy more figures (I might have bought some archers - be small against the baordgame but hey) which will make my wife happier
