Shrek 5: The Undying

Sometimes, there are weird gaps in the world of the undead when it comes to miniatures. Things you think you'd see plenty of, but for one reason or another are not really produced. Until just recently, one of those things was an undead hydra - which is rather inexplicable.

Another is undead ogres. This is kind of weird since ogres are such a common fantasy race. Trolls and Giants, yes. Ogres? Not so much. For years the only real undead ogres were the following two from the German company DSA. (You can get them through Ral Partha Europe now.)

Also, there was this two-headed zombie ettin from Lance & Laser, now sold by Armorcast.

But now, thankfully, we are starting to get a few more representatives of Ogre-kind. Like this model from Krakon Games.


And this zombie ogre from Reaper. In affordable Bonesium!!!


And here's a little something from the recent Trough & Tankard "March of the Dead" Kickstarter by Phillip Hynes. I'm not sure why Phillip is not full time sculpting for the majors. 
  1. His sculpts are outstanding. I've rarely seen better work when it comes to horses or drapery
  2. He's amazingly fast. He bangs out a figure in like a day!


Trough & Tankard Zombie Ogre

Then we have this model. It's an ogre(ish?) model for 4Ground's upcoming Legends of the Fabled Realms Kickstarter. They're making a lot of cool undead (Druggoi) that also include a sweet undead dwarf and two "guard" that frankly, I think are undead elves.


And from Warploque Miniatures, we have a specialty figure, a zombie pirate ogre! Undead pirates are a big thing. I'm not really sure why. Haven't we tired of those movies already?
