Maneater sniper

So in the new ogre book you can kit out maneaters with all sorts of special rules. We have a list of em and you get to pick 2. 2 of those options are Scout and Sniper. Pair that with Braces of Ogre Pistols and you've got yourself a character hunting unit. It's a gimmicky unit, but even if they don't manage to snipe your character, they're still a unit of maneaters to deal with.

Anyways instead of just getting 3 ogres with pistols, I wanted to do something crazy... Ogre snipers. The best part is that I was able to pull it off using an ogre head, a kroot rifle(if I can find a more suitable rifle I'll swap it out, but for the time being its a gnarly looking enough gun), and an old t-shirt.

So I rolled up some of tshirt bits I cut out to make the ogre body.

I cut another square of cloth to cover the body then its just putting the head and gun on the model.

What self respecting sniper would go to war without facepaint

Then cover the whole base with tall grass for him to peek out of (it also hides the fact that there is no body or anything under the cover.)

Once it finishes fully drying I'll get all the loose grass off it.
