Gargantuan Squiggoth from the Forgeworld Display Cabinets.
Close-up of the head.
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 an Ork Squiggoth which was entered into the UK 2006 Golden Demon awards.
It is a nice concept, but though the painting looks quite good, the overall composition and basing of the model does let it down in my opinion.
I am not sure if this is a Warhammer 40000 model or a Warhammer Fantasy Battle model, it’s not a clear concept. I like it, but I would like it even more if the overall concept had worked.

This is a really nice model, you can see how I painted mine on my workbench.
I hope that one day Forgeworld release a variant version, but if they don’t I may have to get another one and convert it.

I have one of these models myself and I hope that one day Forgeworld will make a variant model.

You can see how I painted this little beasty on my workbench article.

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

Here is a work in progress photo of my Forgeworld Epic Squiggoth.
Still quite a way to go.
This is an overhead photograph from a recent game.
The Squiggoth is a large creature especially when you compare it to the abandoned Trukk.
You can also see some Killa Kans and a Grot Cutta.
