WIP Nurgle Ogres

So I have delved back into Fantasy after being away for a while. I played my first game of 8th Edition last weekend with my Chaos Warriors vs. High Elves. I liked it, and have decided to go with Ogres as my next Warhammer project.

The theme for my army will be some Nurgle infected Ogres. I had this great back story about them defeating a Nurgle Warrior army and then eating them to become infected...and then saw the exact description on a Forgeworld model. Back to the drawing board on that..

I don't want any gut plates in the army, each Ogre will have a suitable bloated belly! Sculpting them out of green stuff isn't too hard, and it will add visually to the army. I do want a few busted open of course, what's some Nurgle troops without some exploding guts?

The horn on the first ogre was taken from the Chaos Spawn sprue (which will get a lot of mileage with this army). I scraped away the Ogre's eyes and added a single one to really reinforce the Nurgle theme.

Not too much converting on the second one, just added a big ol' gut.

Looks like they are shaping up quite nicely! looking forward to seeing more of them. Nurgle is one of my favorite themes for any army.

Thanks! I may actually just do guts on them all and ditch the Nurgle theme...not feeling it right now. I feel like it would be too much going on for each model 9mutations, gut, etc.) I converted up a unit of ogres with the guts only over the weekend and they came out pretty good, get pics up soon.
