For a while now I have been using my grots to assault and hold creatures like Broodlords, Ironclad dreadnaughts and carnifexes.
when the new plastic stegadon came out i thought this was a great way to transport a squad of grots.
The smallest "squiggoth" is a big squiggoth in the "Imperial Armour: Apocalypse" book.
Even though the steg is small when you place the trukk flatbed on the back (Trukk can hold 12 models) it looks ok.
I could put a squad of nobs in this but it would look kind of odd so instead my grots now can have a ride!

Yah, the fluff tells us that Squiggoths come in all sizes. I think if it looks good, you must go for it. I believe that the Imperial Armour books have rules for Squiggoths of different sizes. So if you are a stickler, you can always hunt down the appropriate rules and use them along with this model.

I mean, what's the point in winning if you allow people that don't take the game seriously to live?

Great job. When I first saw the Stegadon in person at my FLGS, I wasn't sure it would be big enough, but you've really made it work.

First, I was doubting if the Stegadon-to-Squiggoth conversion would look good, but my opinion changed after it was painted. GOOD JOB

I think you should put metal plates on either side of the stegadon/squiggoth and write Gork and Mork on them. Now that would make it real orky!
