Those conversions all look very promising.
Thanks! It's a bit 'hit and hope' to start with, but any that don't work out can be 'extras' when the big battles come around ...
It’s funny how changing the nose makes a big difference. I did something similar with some GW orcs a friend donated to me but which didn’t fit at all with the style of my collection. I rounded off their ears and most of the teeth, then sculpted a bulbous nose on each and they transformed into fairly convincing ogres...
Yes - the GW orcs are so distinctive (and odd), but a lot of that has to do with their noselessness. Their heads, hands and weapons are already 1/32 scale or thereabouts, which helps!
Here's the first converted giant painted up. It's a very quick paintjob, but there's no point spending too much time on these chaps if I'm to get 30-odd done!
