Hi everyone,

I recently got my hands on an awesome homemade Gargantuan Squiggoth (Some images: http://imgur.com/a/FgnCd )
At first I just wanted it, so my army would look more awesome in my home, but I figured I'd like to play with it too.

Now, I have two questions:
1. I have no clue how to make a list with this guy that is even remotely competitive. Do any of you have suggestions?
2. I can't for the life of me find what size base it would need. I can find all the other rules, except for that. Does anyone know which size it needs to have in order to be able to field it?

Thanks a lot!

As far as I know the most current stats for the thing are in the 6e Apocalypse book; base sizes aren't strictly regulated, you should be able to put it on whatever fits.

I don't know that there's much complexity to putting it in a list; there aren't a lot of support tools for it. I'd say either load it with Lootas and use it as a fire bunker behind your main wave or load it with choppy units and run forwards.

Thanks!

So, both a 92x120 base (which would fit, but only cover half of every single foot), and a 170x105 base would be allowed?

I don't believe the Gargantuan Squiggoth has a base, much like titans it mearly stands on it's own legs.

Yep, either would work or you could not base it at all. It doesn't matter.
Just fill it with boyz and send it to the front!
