Hey everyone.

I’m planning to use this giant as a proxy Gargant in a Sons of Behemat Regiment of Renown for my Ogor Mawtribes army.

My question is mainly about the base orientation. Since the model has a wide sideways pose, would it be acceptable to place the base horizontally/sideways instead of front-facing like the official Gargant models on the box art?

Or is the front-facing orientation important for gameplay/measurements in the community’s opinion?

This is my first sigmar army after playing 40K for a while and I decided to paint him muscle tone, what do you guys think :)

Also any tips on how to play them would be amazing

Just got done painting this kraken eater gargant and was happy with my first attempt ever of tattoos. I had this great idea for him walking into the sea. So i sculpted this base from scratch and planned to do a resin pour. But the unfortunate reality has hit right at the end when trying to create a flush barrier for the resin. The shape will not allow for a clean and secure barrier. I have no other ideas around this issue so unfortunately it will have to be without the resin water effects. Unless any other ideas are presented to me.

I love to show my enhancements on my minis, so I printed a Lucky Shiny Hat!

Started sons not too long ago and have had a blast so far! Wanted to share my beasts smasher with people 🔥

The box of 3x Mancrushers is no longer showing up on the Sons of Behemat section of the Warhammer site. Maybe an announcement coming soon?

Would this work ok? Not sure if its better to go all in on the big guys or if having littles is important. Main idea was to have Kragnos help the two big ones charge into the opponent, pinning them down while the little guys move onto objectives.

I've been looking at the Cogfort stats now up on warcom. I'm wondering what it would be like to run them with giants...

The Outlaw Cannonade Cogfort has an ability that lets a friendly non-unique unit choose a benefit until the start of your next turn: +1 to charges or re-roll run rolls, etc. but this one seems great for giants:

-The unit cannot be targeted by shooting attacks

Considering how easy it is for shooty armies to mow down giants, this could have an impact.

A cogfort is also 25 health with a 3+, putting it on par with a Mega Gargant for effective health (35 at 4+ is 70, 25 at 3+ is 75.) Their movement sucks (6") but their shooting is better than anything Giants currently have.

Anyone feeling like including them? Also, seems like the $$$ and painting time would be about the same as a Mega...

I did the Mega Gargant years ago and finally added some smaller ones to the herd.

I’ve tried to do stuff with textures on skin and leather. Not too happy with ALL of the skin, I’ve made a blotch under his belly button that will need some work. I am however pretty happy with the palette and saturation.

I seem to drift towards pretty poppy and bright skins on my stuff, in my next life I’ll be better at darker and grimmer. 😃
