Okay I'm working on some Decals for Ogre by request.

I have some questions:

1) The hour glass which faction is that Combine or Paneuropean?

2) Would people like single colour strips or multi colour (ie all red hour glasses on a sheet or red, green, black etc.)

3) Would you like seperate number sheets or a combo all on one sheets?

4) Alpha numaric numbers like modern combat vehicles or just numaric like in Ogre?

Input is important as I'm able to complete these soon

1. paneuropean – Spartan helmet, combine – hourglass

2. single color for me

3. separate number sheet

4. numeric in the style of the original ogre. the font data 70 is pretty close.

Same answers as Clark182.

For the Combine hourglass I'd like to see red (traditional), black, and white, for visibility against different paint schemes, either on separate sheets or combined on one sheet.

For the Paneuro helmet I'd like to see yellow (traditional), blue (also traditional), and black, either on separate sheets or combined on one sheet.

It would really depend on the size of the sheet. Small sheet = single color. Large sheet = multiple colors.

Some flag decals in various sizes to use for air recognition and on the sides of buildings would also be welcome:

Smaller sheets will reduce cost larger multi colour sheets will be more expensive.

What do people want to pay for is the question on that.

jfleisher25 Sep 2014 8:05 a.m. PST

Same answers as pattern.

Maybe separate sheets for Combine, Paneuropean, numbers? So people can just buy what they want.

I could do a combo ( #'s and logo) . All one color per sheet makes it easier to do whole armies

Here's a map of the war and logos for all major participants:

Small sheets, maybe 2" x 3", would be great. That would make it easy to do a unit or two without having a lot of leftover decals, and it would make it easier to buy different colors.

But I'll buy any sheets you produce, big or little, in any combination.

And I'd gladly buy sheets for most of the other factions in mad monkey 1's link, too.

Same answers as jpattern2's latest.

Something like what Fighting Piranha Graphics do; small sheets with various size emblems on them.

jpattern228 Sep 2014 10:03 a.m. PST

Exactly, Paint it Pink, and like GW used to do for WH40K (and might still, I wouldn't know).

Well i tried but was shut down imedietly.

SJG are fiercely protective of their IP. Ogre especially is Steve Jackson's baby.

A pity that SJG have not found a secondary producer to offer Ogre minis and decals etc. I would buy them in 6mm or 3mm if I didn't have to pay SJG prices for them.

jfleisher17 Feb 2015 6:02 p.m. PST

So they won't produce decals for Ogre, and won't allow anyone else to make them either?

And they wonder why us long time Ogre fans get disgruntled…

Artraccoon18 Feb 2015 5:36 p.m. PST

Why do you need minis and decals when SJG has plenty of card "minis" for you to play with? All pre-printed with official graphics! <sarcasm>

Darkrazor21 Feb 2015 1:37 p.m. PST

Because they are not minis and we like minis. Minis look way better than cardboard.

Stalkey and Co15 Mar 2020 12:07 p.m. PST

There are these hourglass decals at Etsy:

and greek / spartan helmets

While SJG may have one exact version of the hourglass and helmet, he can't prohibit ones that are similar since they are not really unique items.

Warhammer has a lot more original IP, for example.

Stalkey and Co15 Mar 2020 12:38 p.m. PST

Well, waddya know…

sjg does make them and they appear to be included with the miniatuers? And free at this link!
