Yes, they fit perfectly, showcased by my own.

I use the smaller ogres with the standard ogre stats, and the huge one from battle masters as a 'giant' Ogre with the Elf Quest stats.

I'll be using Warhammer ogres soon since I wouldn't want to mess with my collectible ogres or pay silly money for spare ones on ebay.
Sjeng's pictures on Miniature showcase gave me much inspiration.

Not too long ago there was a seller on eBay selling them for about 8 bucks, which I thought was fair. I got as many as I could offa him. Never could find out how he obtained so many of them. I think he said a WH booth or something like it.

It seems the arms are too fat at the base, which could be fixed by cutting out the excess. And it seems as if the lack of a neck will need for the shoulders and neck to be built up, not necessarily that it is a bad thing as it should give one a bit more flexibility. The facial proportion seems just a tiny bit small, which is fine, I guess.

But the underlying skeletal structure seems scaled just about right.

You can't see it well in that picture, but I fixed the heads with Green Stuff, folding fat necks out of that, so that was near perfect.
The hands fit perfectly because the wrists have the same thickness.

I'm going to use Reaper Bones Ogres. The sculpts are gorgeous. They're 25mm Heroic scale and hopefully they will fit perfectly with the original heroes.

Yes! As much as I love the Hero Quest GW style (of which Battle Masters is a spinoff), those Ogres look like pirate mutant Orcs more than anything. The best thing about them are their evil smirks (and movable limbs). The Reaper Bones Ogres are just awesome. I have several of them. They're fat, they've got big clubs, and they look like badass hulks that would just block your path until they go down from sheer overwhelming force.

A good use for the official Ogre to me would be like a mercenary.
