CaptPiett has used Squigs as Giants and a Wyvern to good effect.

Apparently Copplestone Castings produce a couple of 15mm giants which are 40mm tall (should be the same as the GW one?)



For my Orc army I have used a warhammer 28mm squig as a giant squig.

Wow!  Better than the GW one by far - just looking at the face!

That one looks awesome as well, but might be less convenient for Warmaster (seems like it would have to face to the side).

The first one (FM18 Magog the Hill Giant) should fit nicely into a 40x20mm while facing forward.

true, hadn't thought about that.... you could cut the base strip and re-pose the legs maybe.... or just deal with a shimmying giant ;)

I think I'll be picking up quite a sizable copplestone order in the nearish future.....
