I’ve had these chunky metal Ogryns for Warhammer 40k half-painted for the longest time, since their unconventional style of uniform didn’t fit with any of the Imperial Guard regiments I was building. As soon as I decided to paint a detachment of Catachan Jungle Fighters however, they found their spiritual home.



Now I am just missing the Captain for this 500 points Catachan infantry detachment. There’s going to be a rumble in the jungle soon, as they discover long abandoned ruins and reawaken forces that should better have been left in their eternal stasis…


Aww, dang. These old lugs are some of my very favourite models, for some reason. Something about those gormless faces, their overall heft, nice variety of poses, they just WORK for me.

They still have a lot of the fantasy ogre ancestry in them, and that is definitely a good thing.

Noice!! The older Olley Ogryns are still my fave, but these lunks are a very close second & are just perfect as Catachanian auxiliaries ā¤ļø

They very much feel of the same generation as the metal Catachan sculpts and they look as good together as I’d hoped.

Love ’em, they’ve got so much more character than the new plastic ogryns. Those Necrons won’t know what hit them!

They do look like they could even bent an Immortal out of shape.

They are just very, very determined to smash anyone their local Commissar considers an enemy of the Imperium into many small pieces.

Gruff and mean looking bunch – look liked they’d fit well in the jungle.

They should be able to cut their path through the jungle and their enemies equally well.
