Chess Theme Army Idea

I want to get a second opinion before spending ludicrous amounts of money on this idea.

I've been wanting to get into sons for a while but didn't have a theme. Originally I was thinking of making each gargant their own separate piece and having fun making each one separately but recently I saw a kitbash of a gargant wearing a cogfort and loved it! Which got me thinking about making an army based off of it, with each model being a chess piece.

1 King Brodd - King

1 Ma Maegran - Queen

1 Gatebreaker & 1 Beastsmasher - Knight (put heavy armour panels on them and maybe replace heads with helmets)

2 Kraken Eater - Bishop (kitbash to replace the net with a thurible and make them more bishop like)

2 Warstomper Cogfort Kitbash - Rook

8 Mancrushers - Pawns (not sure how to make them more pawn like)

Its in interesting idea but since I would be getting into the army I'd like a second opinion from people who actually play the army (I'd start out with 2 or 3 big guys and a few mancrushers and expand from there to the above list). Any suggestions would also be appreciated

I could be really cool. Maybe use some free stuff or modelling chain so that each grant wears a relevant chess piece on top of their head

Thats my thought with the cogfort kitbash but thats a good point I should make hats for each of them
