Gargantuan Squiggoths are monstrous creatures approximately the size of a small Imperial Titan. Their size is the result of their breeding using the special, high-quality feed formula of the Snakebites Clan. These giants are sometimes used as mounts by the most powerful of Ork Warbosses.
This Gargantuan Squiggoth was on display at Warhammer World.
Though I have had the smaller Squiggoth for many years I have always liked the bigger cousin. Don’t think I will get one though.

The howdah and the crew. Notice how they use parts from the Warhammer Fantasy Orc sprues, something I did with my own Feral Orks.
This is a really nice BIG model, if anything too big for most games, it is akin to a Super Heavy Tank, but I would like one. However at £200 ($400) it is somewhat out of my budget!
With a future model I may paint the armour panels in a similar style to my Junkatrukks but with this model I am going down the dirty rusty armour style.
The black painted howdah was drybrushed with Tin Bitz and then a lighter drybrush of Boltgun Metal.
Next stage is to do the skin of the Squiggoth.

This is the big version, I like the smaller version (which I have) but not sure about the bigger brother.
