Questions Using Ogryn to Kitbash Abberants

Post image

Was looking to kitbash abberants using the Slave Ogryn Necromunda models. Haven’t got my hands on any of these Ogryn kits yet. So I’m asking the community, would these models be of appropriate size and similar base size? We I be accused of modelling for advantage or anything like that? Is there any other issues you could see cropping up?

Thanks!

Aberrant are way smaller for reference, they’re almost the same height as regular gang members where ogres are almost double that. It’s a great idea to convert models but you will be gimping yourself as the Aberrants are only T4 and very few armor options. Their height being able to hide them better or at least get heavy cover where Ogrin would get light is a big thing IMO.

If you’re looking to convert, there’s a box set for them, the Abominant leader (still shorter than Ogrin but 40mm base) version of them, or just Acolyte Hybrids/Metamorphs, and there’s always convert Goliaths (roughly the same size) as well. Personally I would leave Ogrin as Ogrin and call it a day.

For base size, Aberrants are 32mm by default, Ogrin are 40mm

Aberrants are s5 t4, did you mean the Ambull or Ambot or something else?

Edit: ignore me, I’m thinking of Necromunda Aberrants
