Hragged 09 Aug 2012

Mantic Games have released some concept art for their upcoming range of plastic Ogres for Kings of War:

They also previously released this piece of concept art:

Thoughts on these guys?

Eg Giant-tripper 09 Aug 2012

Nice to see Mantic developing a more unique style instead of 'GW, but not quite as good'.

I don't suffer from mental instability. In fact, I enjoy it immensely.

Gutlord Inquisitor: FORUM FIGHT! Me, I'm betting on the stronghold. Sure, they're outnumbered with thick skulls, stubborn bull-headedness and an inflated sense of self-worth, but hey, they're Ogres.

More Black Orc than Ogre but like the pics. Sure we can kitbash some bits from them

least I will. I have everything from reaper mini's, Spawn dragons, Scibor, Random blood bowl mini's to GW old and new

Any mini if it is a good min gets in my kit box!

Not massively sure I like them... They are a little un-Ogre-ish...

Exactly...

Not a fan really. They look more like orcs than ogres.

My thoughts as well. They remind me of WoW orcs personally. But we'll see how the mini's turn out I thinks.

i think i will wait and see on these guys they dont seem very ogreish to me, i would say they are alternative hordes troll bloods

Davros 11 Aug 2012

But surely 'Ogreish ' is done to GW's interpretation and what we have accepted over the years from the OK books ? Mantic are doing their own spin on things and making Ogres from their perpesctive ?

But has been said wait for the 'greens' and see how they look then .

I think they were based on the D&D 3.5 ogre that had a huge muzzle face and thing body like that. Thats my guess at least. I like how the Pathfinder ogres look like the GW ones lol

May be not for me, but some bits will come in handy....

It's completely different than GW's 'ogre concept' of big bellies and small heads. They are headed for a more monster looking thing with a HUGE jawline.

I don't think these will mingle well with the GW models in the same army sadly. BUT if they come out with a little less hair then I can see myself using a few of these as bruisers or maneaters, because let's face it, a normal ogre bull will NEVER be as ripped as these guys (they just love eating too much

).

There is only news. There is no good or bad.

*Puts on fluff-guru hat* All Ogres are ripped - it's just that the muscle is all in the belly!

has anyone heard of a date for the ogres? or indeed any pics

jonnyandbex 02 Oct 2012

ive had a look at the forums on the mantic site, it would appear that the ogres will be a unit as opposed to a army, as for a release date its going to be after there new trolls early in 2013
