Anyone use this? What are your thoughts.

I was thinking of making one for my army, but height 3 puts me off. Seems like it would be a fire magnet.

The official model doesn't look height 3 to me. (spoilered large image)

Oh man, I actually like that model, but seems like it'd be pretty easy to convert one, too. How were you thinking to make yours?

I was thinking a cheap mammoth or similar monster toy, laden with barrels. A gnoblar with a torch as the driver.

They are good. Occasionally they cause massive damage, but more often they mess up the enemy's battle plans (due to their having to react to the threat) or they have to shoot them up, saving shots going into your ogres. Against armies without shooting they are particularly good.

I agree. Having a couple of these will certainly draw a couple of rounds' worth of fire away from your Ogres. Even if they don't eventually blow anything up, they're worth it.
