Here is an Ogryn Sergeant for 40K. If anyone needs to be refreshed, the figure leads a squad of ordinary ogres (armed with clubs, etc., as they're too stupid to fight with anything else), but he has intelligence enhancing treatments that make him -barely- smart enough to lead the rest and fire a big shotgun.
Anyway, I'm looking for something similar for 15mm. I'd like a big, dumb looking, musclebound figure (maybe a human or ork in 25-28mm?) that would work as an Ogryn Sergeant in 15mm.
Any suggestions?
Regards

If you're happy to do a bit of converting, the 15mm ogres by Blood Dawn figures (sold in the UK by Magister Militum) might be a good start.
See:-

The GZG alien merc pack always seemed like a good approximation to me, but you get a lot more than just one guy with it.

Don't know what size you're aiming at, but if a little on the tall side is no problem, why not try getting your hands on some of the old style Necromunda Goliaths? They even have suitably bulky looking guns and look overly muscular enough to assume they're just a sip of Red Bull away from a full blown roid rage rampage.
Just shave those hideous mohawks... ;)
-
Thanks for the ideas so far.
The ogres I already have, in 15mm scale are about 1" tall, or so, so I think that a dumb, musclebound 25/28mm scale guy might be ideal.

The GZG mercs look perfect.
15mm 40k, nice idea. :)

I'm kinda saddened that no one has seen my 15mm 40K stuff before now. I posted a link to it before, and it got all of one reply.

I've been thinking about 15mm Inquisitor or =I=munda - should be interesting converting 15mm figures to make arco-flaggellants, mutants, inquisitors, etc.

Start with Laserburn and Hordes of the Future (both from Alternative Armies). For the price of a single 54mm scale Inquisitor figure, you will have all you could ever need, including a goodly number of alien bounty hunter types.
Arco-flagellants would be tough, but some of these might make nice "blanks" to start work, though.

Good gaming!

Hi I’ve been lurking on this site for ages admiring all the stuff you guys do. Finally decided to lurk no more.
Anyway it looks to me like you could probably use a GW plastic Ork and simply convert its head. Give it a nose and trim down the ears and you have a 15mm sized Ogryn. I’ll give it a go tomorrow and see what I can come up with.

Cool!

What you're all forgetting is the difference in 15mm and 28mm is not just up in height but out!
I've just got some 15mm stuff from citical mass games and the difference between the scales is suprising! 28mm ork would look like a giant as would an necromunda plastic.
I was going to suggest GZG, nice clean sculpts and Jon's a good egg.

I think we need to see close ups!

Yeah :( The kid who did the photos is an art student, and I let her have a little too much free reign.

OK I had a go at making one tonight. All I did was give it a nose and I re-sculpted its ears. I based it on a 30mm base as the 25mm base made it look like a standard 28mm figure. (edit: I also made the shoulder armour from scraps of plasticard).
Pictured with 15mm GZG figures so you can compare the size.

I plan on adding some Imperial Guard grenades and pouches at a later date.

And you did an excellent job! Wish I was that gifted with greenstuff and a hobby knife!
-
He's huge! But he looks really good, maybe if you could find some 20mm ogres as a base model, then they might fit a little better. Either that or since you seem to be pretty good with greenstuff have a go and making your own, just as you want it.

Now that is a) really nicely converted and b) really nicely painted.
I'd stick with these, you going to do a few more then?
-
they are so cool :-*
-
If size is a problem, would putting together something similar but with a Gretchin/Goblin as a base work?
This Ork/Ogryn looks really cool by the way :-* .

I have to say that Ogryn is one of the best things I've seen in a long time. Superb.
-
I really think that is close to perfect for 15mm. The bulk of the figure really helps/
Sigh. Wish I could make one.
-
Thanks for the compliments guys.

I really enjoyed making this first one and I'll be making a few more for sure now.
gloriousbattle – If you PM me your address I’ll mail an unpainted one out to you as a “thank you” for giving me the idea in the first place.

Can i be gloriousbattle for the next week then? :-)
I really do like that Ogryn. Very well done. I think it is the nose on the big dopey face. Like he drank ALOT of booze or something. Your sculpting does it justice indeed. Kudos to you.

Got it. I’m going to make a few this weekend so I’ll send one over to you on Monday.

snip.

Thanks Grimmnar. You’ll have to have a word with gloriousbattle and see if he minds swapping with you for the week ;)

I only just saw this today. What an incredible conversion!
-
that's amazing. which base are you using for your minis?
-
Thanks to this amazing Ork conversion, I have just gone and bought a box of Ork Boyz to make into a squad of them...
...so many distraction, so little time...;).
-
I think the size is perfect. It really makes them seem like ogres. They should be rediculously scaled next to a human.
I have the Demonworld Ogres and put one next to me Critical Mass guys. I like yours much better. Looks like I will ned to buy a box of Orc Boys myself. Or use the ones from My McCragge box set.
-
Thanks for the reminder guys. I have five more of these that need painting. I’ll see if I can get them done this weekend. I’ll post some pictures when they are done.

I used a 30mm base for the Ogryn and 20mm bases for the 15mm infantry both from EM4 Miniatures.

gloriousbattle did you ever receive yours? I sent it out on the 5th of August?

Just got your PM. Nope, he never yet arrived.

nice!
i use bases casted by myself, and they are 1,2 cm. smaller, maybe a bit too small, i dunno...
the point is that now i should have to try to make bigger ones for bigger minis, and that's a big deal! :(

Great news! I look forward to seeing them :) .

I think he should have been there by now, not to worry though. I’ll pop another one in the post for you on Monday.

I think 1.5cm would be ok for the infantry but 1.2cm might be a bit too small. I guess you’ll have to try them and see first though. What do you make your bases from?

I’ve started them and I should have at least three done by tomorrow. By the way I just saw the ones you did in the other thread and they look great :)

they are for fantasy figs.
they are casted in resin.

those are pretty smaller than yours, but i think that are really similar to the 25mm ones on 28mm minis.

Thanks, but PM me first. If it didn't get here, it should have gotten back to you by now, I would think. Let's check the addy.
