Warbiker Nob: Oggo One-Eye

Ol' Oggo One-Eye is a biker boss with power klaw. He lost half his face, an eye, an ear, and a few teeth from a bolter shot to the side of the head, but even with that, he still never wrecked his beloved trike!

After he lost his eye, he put a matching gouge on the eye of his banner pole. But being an Ork, he gouged the side that matched his injury while he was looking at the banner, rather than the same side of the face. But just try to tell him that! It always looks right when he looks at it.
Being a an older, veteran nob, his skin is a browner, mossier shade than the boyz.


He's got a massive trike with Ben-Hur style scythed wheels. 


With his trusty power klaw, Oggo is a wrecking machine up close. You can also see some of his gang badges on his jacket.


A suitable leader for a rowdy band of warbikers!
This was my first real full Forge World model and I have to say, they are a lot harder to clean-up and assemble properly than the normal GW plastics. They are beautiful models, but they take some work and figuring out. I made some small mistakes and had to make some modifications to this kit, as well as having a hell of a time getting the rider in there after attaching the guns and ammo cases. Definitely a learning curve.

As usual, the big photos have made me notice two areas that didn't get quite fully finished so I will make a few touch-ups. (For one, you can see some unpainted green stuff in his right armpit in the last photo where I could not get his arm to fit flush with the body!)

  1. Quite a masterpiece. And what a beast of a vehicle! It must be huge compared to the other bikes.

    1. Thanks. It is a regular bike with Forge World add-ons so it's not really taller than the other bikes, just wider. I would like to put him on a base so he matches better with the rest of the unit. And it would help him look appropriately bigger since he is a bit short without the base compared to the other bikers who have bases. I just can't find a base big enough for him anywhere in my bitz boxes!
