Muhle Privateers - Ogor Mawtribes Leadbelchers - Firing Squad

Descriptions

The ogor leadbelchers, traditionally, are beefy bois who carry full-sized black-powder canons in their arms. They stuff those cannons with powder and whatever scrap they can shove in them, and fire showers of metal at their enemies. These Leadbelchers are a bit more refined, having had some help from duardin to fashion less cumbersome hand cannons that they can strap to a single arm. They’re sporting the traditional yellow pants like other Muhle members, and gas masks to help them breath in aether-heavy skies.

Build

It’s uncanny how much of the stock ogryn/bullgryn kit fits the aesthetic for my army. baggy pants, tanks or bear chest, and steel clad leather boots. The Kharadron Overlord set a precedent for air filtration masks and suits, so it’s an easy leap to bring these guys into AoS.

Here are the parts that went into this Kit

  • Imperial Guard Ogryn with arm canon.

  • 40K Orks Mega-Nob boss-pole.

Paint

These are by-no-means finished, but they sort of got stuck in this paint stage before I took my hiatus. I would love to finish these guys off, and am tempted to strip them bare and start from scratch so I could take even more care with their tattoos and patterned clothing.

GameS

I’ve been playing these guys in Warcry and they add a lot to the army. Rarely do they kill something in a single action, but they are great for picking off little guys in a single activation, or weakening tanks down field. But if you get within 3” you shut can keep that model from being a target, and if you get into melee, you shut down their shooting all together. A lot of fun with these guys on the field.
