The whole production involved many, many layers and re-imaginings. I gradually had to make the limbs thicker here-and-there to keep up with changing proportions as the pieces evolved. By my best estimation, they took me about 20,000 times longer to complete than I anticipated.įor both of them, I used brass rod to make the arms and legs longer, and filled in the gaps with a lot of greenstuff. I worked on these guys over the course of the last two years. I never had the complete kit myself, rather I was working with someone's leftover arm, foot, and head options from the assorted bits included with an Orcs and Goblins lot I purchased on eBay some years ago. It also came with a variety of neat accessories and base accents (of which I have mentioned a few in my other posts) like clubs, a dead cow, a frightened peasant, a signpost, etc. The plastic giant is really pretty decent kit, it's got good level of detail, and is highly customizable.
On the other hand, for only a 200-ish point investment, a giant can ensure that every bolt-thrower, stone-thrower, cannon, and magic missile your opponent has is NOT directed at anything else in your army for the first couple turns. kill a larger percentage of your opponents point total than the percentage of your you spent on them), and they die too easy to artillery. They've got fun, quirky rules, but it is complained that they can't reliably "earn their points back" (i.e. Unfortunately, Giants were considered to "suck" in the competitive scene, so that never really happened. Here is the multi-part plastic Giant that would be release some years later, and pushed as a mercenary option to potentially be included in every army in Warhammer. The actual O&G giant was a lot fatter, and looked like he could take the both of them. The Giants of Albion were taller, but scrawny. And you got two giants for the same price as the then-current Orcs and Goblins Giant. This was a pretty cool kit, very characterful. but the one-eyed head ultimately ended up completely covered in greenstuff (serving as a sort of vaguely face-shaped armature) inside one of my Mangler Squigs. I don't know how hardcore Citadel collectors might feel about this. Later the one-eyed head was used for a different Chaos Spawn, on the body of the Krootox that would serve as the base-model for my Night Goblin Boss on Great Cave Squig.
One or both would later be in my various Chaos armies.įor a while their pieces were used for a Chaos Spawn (with a metal Tyranid Carnifex body). They were part of my very first Orcs and Goblins army and made for a lot of fun. I've had these guys nearly as long as I've been involved in the hobby.
