Commission - Praetorian Ogryn Squad (Part 3)

Another day, another update on the Ogryn Commission.

Firstly I'm happy to have got the first two finished, bar their Ripper Guns, to the extent that I'm involved in the project - two down, eight to go!





Work is now focused on numbers three and four.

Number three is coming along slowly, his open jacket is proving interesting to sculpt, though I continue to be happy with progress I won't be sure it's gonna work until I've finished the jacket in honesty.



Number four meanwhile is as I mentioned based on one I started for myself as a test piece quite a while back, however with a little work I'm very pleased with how it's turning out so far, he'll be a full dress Ogryn with Tunic buttoned and Pith Helmet once finished.

Hobby Fund (1st August)

Well thats a bit better, after a last months, well nothing really(!), I set down to resume topping up the hobby fund and clearing out alot of my older bits an bobs. The result is a nice healthy total in the fund and a shelf free of box's! Things which sold included the best part of my WFB Orc & Goblin army, a fair collection of Imperial Guard metals (but theres still plenty more of these to list!), several books and lots of various odds and ends from various Fasntasy and 40k armies.

Purchases this month have been hobby supplies, a pre-order of the new Leman Russ Demolisher kit and everything I need (I hope) for the on going Ogryn commission.

  • Starting Balance 1st July (Previous Sales) = £5.33

  • Sales in July = £344.55

  • Sales Fee's in July = -£14.39

  • Purchases in July = -£87.78

  • Misc Income/Outgoings = £2.70

  • Balance 1st August = £250.41


This month I'm aiming to continue selling items, though with the greatest bulk of it now gone I can't imagine I'll see a monthly gross sales total as high as this again based on selling old things alone. I'm seriously considering taking on more commissions once these Ogryns are done. Meanwhile I've got my eye on the new Planetary Empire release, I've wanted to run some campaigns at my local GCN club for a little while and this makes a nice tool for that.
