I had originally expected Ogres to be rather specfic models out of which it would be difficult to make units, but was proven wrong.There are a few ranges that are very detailed and colourful and should make a lovely army.
A few comments first:
- The models listed here are not perfect and many are not on the same
level as the original ones (those are usually way older than the current
GW range). I am not saying losing GW models won't be a pity, if anything this work
is making me appreciate them even more. I am just saying that a solution
exists. The important part is, the models are out there.
- This is not only my work. I have used ideas and suggestions from The Ogre Stronghold and am very grateful to all the people there and their
collective wisdom.
- In many cases I was unsure about the size of the models and was
forced to go on guesswork only. I hope at least some of them will work.
- When possible, I have tried to link to groups of models and larger
units, if only to show multiple sculpts at once. Most of the companies
sell the individual models as well, should that be preferred.
- I am quite a chaotic person and may have overlooked something
awesome. I usually try to link sites that offer greater number of useful
models or the ones I know I have not exhausted, but searching around
the linked models might yield even more fruit.
- If you know about something useful not linked here, please let me
know and I will add it. This is by no means an exhaustive list and can
never be, but I would like to list as many possibilities as possible.
