Become A Big Badass Ogre Warlord With Atlantis Miniatures
December 17, 2019 by brennon
Last time we looked at the models coming out of Atlantis Miniatures we took a peek at some of their newer Goblins. Well, now we're taking a look at their big beefy Ogres which are stepping up to the plate.
As is traditional when it comes to seeing the Atlantis Miniatures when they're finished, we're rather blown away. These guys manage to get loads of detail out of their sculpts and present us with miniatures which would be fantastic to use across the board in all manner of wargames. They certainly have a good range, like with this Ogre Warboss here, which could be used as a system-agnostic army for whenever a dip into Fantasy takes you.
As well as lots more fantastic troops and characters they've added into the mix which you can see HERE we also have some more mighty leaders standing at the fore of things. Here we have the Ogre King and they also...
...have a rather mighty looking Ogre Queen who is leaping into battle to crush all those before her!
Maybe you could even run both of these characters together as the two heads of your army. The Ogre Queen gets stuck in on the front line whilst the King watched from afar and orders the troops. You've then got two rather splendid figureheads to rally around and they are rather massive!
As mentioned above, if you're looking to build up a force for games like Warlords Of Erehwon or Kings Of War, these might be a good shout.
What do you make of the Atlantis Miniatures range?

Stunning ogres.
I have a little over half this Kickstarter and they are ruddy brilliant! Can’t wait to see what’s next.
@somegeezer How big are they? In D&D lore ogres are only 7′, so having trouble finding any that fit the bill. Most are too big.
They’d be too big for your needs. For a 7′ ogre you may be better off looking at older Citadel ogres – I have one of Golfag’s mercenaries from the 80s, he’s about the size of a modern GW orc.
@ceppie I put up a comparison shot in case it’s useful https://www.beastsofwar.com/project-entry/1465776/
Are they over-compensating for something with those belt buckles? Great looking figures, though. If the first only had an axe (option), he’d be great for Grokagamok for KoW.
If the base is 40mm (as cited on the website, the male war boss stands roughly 60mm tall, making him significantly taller than Mantics ogres, but so is Big G according to the 3rd edition fluff.
I think the first one in particular would look more suitable as a D&D giant. Something about his lack of belly like the second and third one strikes me as ‘un-Ogre’ ish. Maybe I am just too used to the image GW have been cultivating of Ogres for the last few years.
