Pirate Ogres In ALL Their Glory!

As promised he are some better shots of Drew's amazingly converted pirate ogre army.

Drew is a hobby animal, every unit in the army has at least one model that has removable arms. Why would he do this you ask? Well as wound markers. Ogres have three wounds... You get the idea. His characters likewise come apart but they have one extra part (having 4 wounds each). These extra wounds are accounted for by removable hats. His BSB has a tricorn hat, "The Baron" (modeled after Baron Samedi from Live and Let Die) has a top hat and the voodoo lady butcher has a swirly fez. In addition every "sail" banner in the army (which is all of them) are magnetized to remove and transfer to enemy units that might collect them.

Here are the man eaters prior to paint. The only painted photo of these "gals" I have are washed out and out of focus. It does give you an idea of amount of conversion that went into this army.

The bases were sculpted/carved and recast by Drew himself. They look really good in person.

Drew's characters:


While he did not use it on the weekend he has converted and painted his scrap launcher:




Notice the accordion player musician and the fiddle player musician.
