Here's a project I just completed for sale. I wanted to try out doing an alternative giant for WHFB. One that would fit in with a mainly Night-goblin orcs & goblins force. So I sculpted this humongous squig to replace the giant model, which I'm not a huge fan of.

The mini is unpainted, because the intent it to let the purchaser paint it themselves.

haha giant is right.

looks good, legs might be a little long thats my only complaint

Looks great, a good job well done. Top notch sculpting.
Some constructive critisism if you want to read it.
I feel it lacks two things, a sense of scale and something to say that it is captive.
The obvious choices would be:
-Herders on the base or fanatics hanging off it from chains+shackles.
-Some kind of piercing,ornament or collar made from a 'human' sized weapon, shield, bone, skulls etc.
-Fleeing enemy/getting crushed (I realise that this will limit your market dramatically).
-Scenery, brickwork, statue, crates/barrels, trees etc

I'm sure that there must be a dozen more good ideas out there.

Keep up the good work and if you get painted/updated pics please keep us posted!

Squigs have actual snout like that?

Looks good, but the legs seem to long.

I would say that its a superb sculpting job around the face area, but the legs need to be shorter.

I'm having flashbacks to warhammer online.

Thats freakin huge!!!

Whoa crap, that squig's HUGE!
Perfect for an Apocalypse game of the sort, just wondering what they fed it.

That's sweet though i would have to agree the legs look a tad to long.

i think it rocks well done

That's awesome.

Any thought of putting a rider on it for laughs?

Thanks for the kind words!

I'm planning on building another one or two of these, and one of those will be hunkered down, low to the ground, with Night Goblins surrounding it, trying to hold it down with chains and nets. I'm thinking of using some of the older metal fanatics (the ones where the goblin is flying through the air at the end of the chain) to represent the squig-hunters who're being thrown off as the squig struggles to get free.
