Up to 12 now, and I reckon those 8 others will come round once some more WIP shots get shown. = )

Looking good, you're really working fast.

If there are more to do, how about a club or two? Something like an ironfist would also be cool. I'm also wondering about the shoes, they look a bit chunky in the images (though they probably don't on a 10mm model), I'd also welcome them moving from steel toe caps over to the pointy toecapped slippers but perhaps that's a step too far?

E&C

Can the fists be made slightly larger? Not sure if it is just me however the non-weapon hands look a little small on ogres 2 & 3.

Otherwise looking good!

+1 for the fists, I thought it might just be the angle of the pic?

I'll be doing 6 basic Ogres, so there's 1 more basic guy to come. A club sounds pretty traditional!

A shield/punchy stabby thing on the left fist? Ok.

Pointy toecaps look silly IMO. I wouldn't worry about them looking chunky in the photo - the final prints will look fine in real life.

It's not just you - those two are a bit too small and I'll biggerise them.

First post. I've a fair collection of Warmaster, including some units from Kallistra, which are a little on the large side for my taste.

Question for Evil_and_Chaos:

Have you considered a range of miniatures covering items that GW, Copplestone and Eureka don't do. I particularly like the Eureka range as it adds nicely to the potential of Warmaster. Chaos Dwarves and Halflings, what's not to like? Copplestone - good generic human and orcy units.

I'm thinking a few sets of Halflings (archers, hand weapons, pony cavalry, etc.), Hobgoblin infantry (archers, hand weapons, etc,), various mercenarys, etc. As you are doing 5 or 6 basic sets for an Ogre army as a single production run, could you also do a run of 5 or 6 units of other races/army types to expand on the options for those armies currently commercially available?

Perhaps you could even do some generic artillery, for buyers to add their own crews to as well?

Edit - and I love my status "Lurker"  ;D

I could do, but as with this project, I'd need 10-12 pledges of £60 orders in order to have confidence in going ahead with it.

I'm not actually sure there are many big gaps in the 10mm scale fantasy market left comparable to the lack of Ogre archetypes.

Fair enough. Just a thought. Although if you could identify a gap and your manufacturer wants 6 sets for a production run and you can only think of 5, maybe the gap filler could fill the gap. As it were...

I don't actually have to do production runs of 6 sets at a time, I could do as low as 2-3 and have it still financially workable.

Six basic ogres.

I'll make some sort of punchy/stabby hand armour for their left hands next.

Sorry for the delay in updates, I had a big contract job on which took priority.

Made some punchy shield type dealies for the gang's left hands.

Next up, Ogres carrying Cannons!
