Something I have been working on for my Grot allies force to function as a looted wagon I present the Runt Squiggoth Booma, the Kannon is perhaps a shade too large for the beast of burden hauling it around however I like to think that the grot mek who commandeered it felt that only the biggest and best would do to compensate for the Runt lizard.

Here he is with his Armament:



And without:

I like it, Orks simply do not use small calibre weapons. Even the fluff about the big trakk says that it almost flips over when the supa kannon is fired.
Overall the paintjob looks very solid, and the base is great, the only criticism I have regarding the model, is that the mounting point for the cannon seems quite weak, it looks like two bamboo spears.

Looks very Orky, nice creativity with this model.

This looks really nice, keep up the good work.

Thanks guys, the support for the Kannon is infact two bamboo stick and alot of prayer and blind belief, there was an attempt at plasticard which went incredibly poorly.

I love it.

Nice job. What is the Squggoth made of?

Love it. Big Shoota indeed!

Would love to see that on the tabletop. Great job.

What do you use him as in 40k?

Needs moar red triangles

In all honesty though its a lovely model what did you use for the squigoth?

Its the new lixard man Bastiladon model, I actually thought the model would be signiicantly larger when I first bought it however I've come to like its size currently.

He currently runs as a Looted Wagon however will also do double duty as a Grot Kannon of Mork (Skull cannon of Khorne) in my Daemon/Grot hybrid army

Adding to the use of animals native to their planet the Grot Arachnid Trappers have been started with the following model:

Ok I run a Snakebite army with mounts replacing vehicle and these are really picking my interest.

First of all I will have to go for a similar kanon, based on the fact that:
1) I really like it
2) living in Oz buying the battlewagon with the kanon from FW is cheaper than buying the battlewagon alone from GWS and therefore I expect to 2-3 of these spare
3) I really want to use the snakes that come with the Bastiladon for my snakebite characters
4) I have a blood bowl lizardmen team which could do with some spare skinks, so I can use pretty much everything on this sprue.
5) I was looking for a "looted wagon" idea.

So... how big is it in cm? Would you mind check it?

Next, what do you use this cute little grot as?

I'll dig out a tape measure when I can find one and take measurements for you.

The grot on spider is part of my Grots as Daemons list (odd I know but it gives alot of variety and scope for monsters) and will be running as a counts-as Hound of Khorne
