Also would you really give crafted armor and a perfect forged sword to something as stupid an imbred as a Giant, if it was one of their Skytitan ancestors it would be understandable, but a gigantic hillbilly who likes to stuff people down his pants and can barely use or understand any weapon more complex than a big piece of wood, yeah I wouldn't forge an enormous sword and amazing armor for one either, it'd probably just get angry when it's movements are limited and try and eat you.

The only way I can ever see a fully armored giant being done and being fluffable is if GW decide to make a Skytitan list and claim some are still alive in places.

@Red_Zeke He's welded his braids to his armor, that's what's up with him

I wouldn't go that far. Albion's giants were supposedly pretty intelligent weren't they?

Plus, like I said: I'd see it as more something you'd see on a 'character' giant rather than just every single giant in a force.

Makes it more special and unique, y'know?

And maybe, just maybe you chop off his arms so he won't sit and try to pick up things to eat. You give him some big hooks and tell him to get over the wall. He's pretty much forced to take out his anger of not being able to eat with his hands on anything he can get to, just to be able to get the big fork hands later as a reward!

Not a fan of the huge feathers on the empire figure - where did he get that from - a 50 foot emu?

Hmm, I see your point about a character giant. If it was fluffed out well and given a nice model I admit it could be pretty good.

Though Albion giants probably wouldn't work, while they are comparitively very intellient (though Cachtorr and Bologs, the only Albion Giant models we've ever got aren't) everyone in Albion's pretty primitive so a plate-armored Albion model seems like it wouldn't quite work to me. Personally I'd see almost all Albion, giants and humans alike, being Orc or Ogre levels of primitive

I also had trouble at first. He has a bell on his back, see?

I didn't - so thanks for pointing that out!

Makes the set even cooler now - One Man Band thing aside, of course!

What? Clearly that makes it the coolest part! The Empire has Weird Al on their side! Victory or cheeseburger paradise!
