I really liked the spindly look of the Mordheim rat ogre (see augmented rat ogre #4), and I had a bunch of the models, so I decided to try other spindly combinations. This one uses steam tank pistons for legs, which are kind of neat because they give it a very asymmetric look, being even more heavy on top and bottom and thin in the middle than the original sculpt. Because of the piston legs, which are different lengths, I took advantage of the Mystic bases by Micro Art Studio which have varying heights. I perched him very forward on the base so that I can give him a large warpfire tank backpack or some other accessory on his rear to make the thinness of his waist even more exaggerated. I also swapped out the warpfire thrower for a different warpfire thrower, and his claw hand for a different claw hand, just for variation. But I did use the feet from the original Skryre rat ogre model.
