I quite like it, but for that money I thinkI'd rather have another Carmine Dragon. Not keen on the three sets of eyes either. Prefer one set of beady little squig eyes.

It is quite cute, I thought the swords sticking out of it were a nice touch too.

This would make a fantastic mount for a ork warboss in 40k. :D

I can see this being used for a 40k stompa conversion, that would be very cool, maybe a bit small but could work.

I love the description of it being controlled through drugged meat, usually goblin 'volunteers'. Classic O&G.

Hmmm not bad but I think I have to agree with you EG that it would have looked better with a single pair of beady eyes, rather than the 6 eyes that is has. I would have also preferred if they had painted it up in Squigs usual reddish colour scheme, it just doesn't look right in green. Nice model though, and yeah I can see this being used for a few conversions for Fantasy and 40k in the years to come.

1. Is that a bad base they have it on, or is this thing so heavy it warps the base?

2. I can't shake the feeling that the only reason the 'umie is still running is because the squiq hasn't made up it's mind whether to eat the 'umie or to punt him. It does rather look like he's winding up for a penalty kick.

3. Given how kitbashy ork players are, yup, this guy's going to figure in a lot of other roles. I'm already thinking of a diorama with tankbustas and the "Mother Of All Bomb Squiqs". And I'm sure I'm not the first person to have that thought either.
