The Ironfang Pirate Fleet - The Ogresuns, part 1



The Ogresun is the largest sky-ship in the Ironfang Fleet. It's an ungainly, slab-sided hulk that steers like a cow and moves slower. But it's armed with dozens of looted great guns, and packed with battle-hungry orruks, so it is not a vessel to be underestimated.

Wyrdtoof Hogbreff






Wyrdtoof Hogbreff was marooned on an isolated floating metalith island, by accident a few years ago and has gone a bit strange. But "a bit strange" is seen as a qualification for an orruk shaman.

He recently rejoined the Ogresun, he and Kaptain Ogbad recognised each-other immediately, despite the changed appearance of both.

I built this headbanger in 2021 and he's been waiting until this month for paint.

I had abandoned working on him when I realised wasn't happy about the 40k bionic leg the original model has. I don't know why it took me so long to realise I could just chop it off and give him the peg-leg from the Brutes kit!

Kaptain Salty Ogbad







Orruks grow physically larger and more powerful as they gain experience and success in battle.

So its clear Kaptain Ogbad must have been in some wild fights and perilous adventures since the Harrowmark Run, to have become so massive!

  1. Great conversions! I recently also converted Zodgrod for AoS, still have to paint him though. I tried to sculpt skin over his bionic leg and it turned out okay. The peg leg is a smart idea, fits your pirate theme too.
