Home Brewed Maneater ideas

original thread ↗

If I go with Ogres, I'm thinking of doing some custom maneaters to fill in the ranks (probably modded Ironguts and bulls). As this won't be for a long time, I thought this could be a good idea to bounce some ideas.

Musketeer Ogre: An Ogre Sword in one hand (probably cut down to be thinner to give a crude variant of the rapier) and a ogre pistol in the other hand. A Wide brim brimedhat wih  FEATER AND SOME CLOTH TO FIT THE MUSKETEER LOOK WIL BE GREENSTUFFED ON. This could be an Estillian, Empire, or Tillaian in nature.

Ogre Aztek: He'll have a helm either a dinosaur or a viper, and have a Maquahuitl (its like an Axtec two handed sword; basically a two handed club with several obsidion blades on it it has some real cutting power to it). To keep with the theme, the Aztec swords will be clubs that are thinned and greened stuff to have the look (the studs painted black to look like obsidian, while the rest being gold).


Pacific Islander Ogre (besides the fire belly) Could be any of then, but with some more Samoan tattoos.

Dwarf 1: This one will have fought along side slayers so blue tattoos, big axes in each hand, and a orange mohawk.

Dwarf 2: A minor, with a cole minor's hard hat with light and a big pickax for a weapon.

High Elves: Arms in scale armor of the high elve,s with a high elvish helm.

High Elves 2: More robes with some of the scales poking through. Will have a long sword in each hand.

Dark Elves: The beastmaster entry, so expect barbed spears and a whip (thinking a toothy one like what was used in Predator's Requiem).

Dark Elf 2: Will take a more assassin look about him with a pair of crossbows strapped on his wrist.

Chaos Ogre: Extrea arms to go clubbing things.

Orcs and Goblins: THis one has a few squig around his base, as Squig flail (a flail, with real squigs at the end)

Orcs 2: Will have some green war paint, with a pair of chappas and a possibly some heavy armor to make him look more black orcish.

Skaven: He us using a ratling gun like a chaingun in the movies.


Need some help coming up with ideas for the others namly:

Beastmen
Vampire Counts
Skink Heavy Lizardmen
For the skink heavy lizardmen you could use the blowpipe from the ancient stegadon, it is huge enough for an ogre to carry. The vampire one could have a cloak, some vampiric teeth and maybe a nice posh haircut?
Hi!

For the beastmen type look up 'mudboy' in here... He has done some work minos (those monsterous infantry that my phone won't spell out for me ; ) and that could work for you too I guess for a man eater :)

Most of your other ideas have been done somewhat - I'm sure you've already browsed the forum for Ideas - but they should be around (the search function here can be tricky :( )

Otherwise it sounds like you are on track!

Have fun with it and enjoy!

I'd go with something like the ones below...just suggestions mind. (Some of these are made by guys off here...but I couldn't find the threads/ gnoblogs)

G_H
There is some sensational maneater ideas on warseer and the guy did model for every army and needless to say they were incredible.  I'll try and dig up the link as they would be very good for inspiration.

Ibisson made me a Musketeer Ogre for the paint and trade event. Take a look in there.
