The nice thing is that if the extra AP guns really bother you, they're finally easy to remove. Also, I have an evil plan...

That is one big honking injection mold!

It's a shame this was not corrected this time around. It was mentioned in the forums before. The AP Guns already have issues of not being anatomically correct, which is ok I suppose, considering the mold process, but having AP Guns on a OGRE not match the count on it's record sheet is not Imho.

Still stoked the minis are on their way though. I'll just pretend this is a different version Mark 5 or something...even though I shouldn't have to. ;)

Heh. The AP's can be addressed with a bit of sandpaper or as you say, a FanMade variant. I just hope they've done something about there only being 6 heavy tanks in the Set 1 steel mold Phil posted shots of. (At least there were only six that I could see...).

Forums are slow of late.

(1) Word of designer: there was never supposed to be any particular correspondence between the AP blisters and the AP capacity of the Ogre - it was intended to be more like tread units.

(2) Yes, there will be 8 heavy tanks in the set.

Can't get much more authoritative than that. :)

Thanks, Steve.

There are two OGREs which have this occurring, the Mark5 that was mentioned and the FENCER (which have 10 AP guns on the model but 8 listed on it's record sheet). Other than these two, all the others are 1 to 1 parity.

It's just one of those geeky little obsession things that doesn't really matter. It just would have been nice and standardized to have them all 1 to 1 parity because the other weapon systems are that way...and it's only these two that do not...It's all good though, really. Thanks for clarifying this.

I can't wait to start building these and kit-bashing the FanMade OGREs. Thanks for making these available.

...I wonder what ColBosch's evil plan may be?

My evil plan will be revealed once I have my big box of Ogre Miniatures in-hand. ;)

And Steve just posted BIG updates on the ODE and Miniatures Set 1 Kickstarters. Minis Set 2's CAD files are finished, and they'll Kickstart that project once Set 1 ships. The Kickstarter campaign may be combined with Battlefields, which will include maps G3 and S3, more counters (including a Ninja) and will have a stretch goal of more terrain overlays, mostly swamp and water. It'll also include a single-stop expanded rulebook, which is great news for both ODE and 6th Edition players. Finally, the videogame is progressing nicely and they're thinking an October release!

Oh yeah?!? Well your evil plan is NOTHING compared to my evil plan!

I wonder if anyone can yet say what models are planned for Mini Set #2? SHYV? LTNK? LGEV? GEV-PC? MHWZ? Ogres (besides the Mk. IV)???

The game looks amazing. Auroch used to post semi-regular updates here, hasn't been around much of late. I try to take that in the best of ways -- they're busy! Still wish there were non-Steam options though (none that I know of).
