So as we all know GW recently increased their prices, and some things changed while others (the price of clanrats thank god) remained the same. Well with my 2000 points of Skaven already in hand and in the midst of the painting process, i find myself looking to expand the collection. This is when i discovered that my precious Hell pit abomination found his price raised. This big fella http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440022a&prodId=prod900157a&rootCatGameStyle= is now a whopping 57.75 dollars. Now on to the point of this thread this guy http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer/Skaven/SKAVEN-BROOD-HORROR.html is the Skaven brood horror available on Forge World for only 32 £ or roughly 50 dollars. IMHO he looks better then the HPA and is now in fact cheaper to get. so the question i have for the dakkaverse is what if anything would i need to change or add to be able to represent him as an aditional abomination?
Is he fine as is, should i add a pack-master or two on his back, or maybe some Ork bitz to make an "engine" on its back like on the GW model? In the end all ideas would be appreciated.

To me the Brood Horror would be fine as is, but adding some HPA-style details wouldn't hurt, especially if you alreay have some appropriate bits in your bits box.
