10mm Ogres repurpose for 15mm brutes or half orcs
« on: 24 October 2016, 09:20:58 AM »
Currently on Kickstarter, and not getting the attention it should, these 10mm Ogres will work great as 15mm Brutes or Half-Orcs. I've done a scale comparison to show as much.

Obviously they will work very well with Warmaster in 10mm, but 15mm is my thing. And these are perfect 'versatile' miniatures that can cross scales.

(This is just a show of support, not associated with Black Gate at all).

Mostly about miniature painting and collecting, mostly 15mm non-historical, but then anything goes!

Really nice looking minis.
I dont do fantasy in 10mm but these definately have possibilities for 15mm.

My thoughts exactly Steam Flunky. But I don't think Black Gate have much of a handle on the 15mm scene - and assume they have their coverage covered for the 10mm scene - so I thought I'd do my little bit in my of support to highlight the existence of these guys and the Kickstarter.

A week to go as we speak and only a couple of hundred pounds off unlocking another set of sculpts....

FYI everyone - three different packs have now been unlocked.
9 different Ogre sculpts
9 different Armoured Ogre sculpts
and 9 Ogre Cannoneers, 4 different sculpts.

For me, this lot represents, in 15mm;
A particularly ugly and brutish piratical landing party
Bar room thugs and cutthroats
Frostgrave thugs
or they can be units of half-orc warriors in mass battles.
