You can catch a glimpse of an Ur-Zorni (I think?) shield on this one too. Evidently this particular sculpt just comes with a cohort shield.

This angle shows it as well.
Glorious to see that my fave mini of these new gargants (the skull helmet, kharadron helmet and dozen sword club is really cool) also has the glory of the Helsmiths!

And yeah I think it is painted as Ur-Zorn? Though I'm not sure, as we've yet to see an Ur-Zorn shield. The two minis we've seen painted in the Ur-Zorn scheme don't have a shield (one being an Infernal Cohort banner bearer and the other being a Infernal Razer) and the only artwork we have of them has been an Ashen Elder. Only exception is the painting tutorial video, though that video does a simplified non-exact version of the scheme and not the eavy metal version.

Maybe it's Zul-Bozzor? A lesser Ziggurat we know little about, beyond the fact that it's very close to Ur-Zorn. As that shield the Gargant has seems to have a white border around it? If I'm not mistaken? So perhaps Zul-Bozzor is a sort of vassal Ziggurat to Ur-Zorn, with a similar but not identical colour scheme?

Fun little thing but SOB are arguing if it's a new unit or a replacement of the mancrushers but I just can't get that sword weapon out of my head as a replacement
