You heard me right.
Now, there is alot left to do and I have run out of clay [again..] so don't expect any immediate updates.

But so far I have most of the shape.
[Will not be for gaming, I will most likely try and flog it off if it goes well razz ]

x|x|x|x|x|x|x Latter two are for scale.

I am planning the howdah very slowly, no point rushing it, I'm also planning a few idea's for the head, and what to use as teeth/ horns.


What you think?

It's pretty intense thus far, but it looks more like some kind of Tyrannosaur than a Squiggoth. The head is just a little bit too narrow and too small in the Y direction.

Also, they most pictures of Squiggoths have more of a gut to them. Their bodies are closer to the Stegadon or something like that, just scaled up.

Well, it is still WIP, the head needs alot doing to it and the body is no-where near fat enough yet, I just needed to get a layer of skin on it and show it off at the current stage biggrin

In a way, I want it to be unlike the FW version. I wanted a more reptilian head, and I like the plates above the eye sockets.


Thanks anyway smile

Aaaah, I gotcha. As far as it goes, for a massive scratch build, that's pretty good looking thus far. By the way, I saw some of your scratchbuilds on Tau Online. Very, very nicely done, my good man.

Thank ye sir wink
I really need to have that tank one updated, but I've had no time for myself since the summer.

Well I'm planning the howdah for this thing, I know I still need to get the body to the right bulk, but I have had a few interesting thoughts, rather than making it like FW, as thin as the beast but fairly high.. Have it expanding outwards, maybe have the heavy guns mounted on swivel turrets on the sides.
i'll draw my ideas and post them when I can smile
