Big Mek Sutmix's Gargantuan Squiggoth!

Inquisitor_Naravus · July 22nd, 2008, 07:41

I've been making a custom Squiggoth to go along with Mek/Dakka army which was originally intended to based off the FW model and include the appropriate equipment....but as time went on it transformed from a beast that should have two cannons and some shootas to a monstrosity that currently has a giant zappy gun and soon to have two rear mounted cannons.

I made a custom data sheet for it and would like some feedback on it to make sure it isn't too ridiculous.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unit: Big Mek Sutmix's Gargantuan Squiggoth
Points: 1850 points
Type: Gargantuan Creature
Transport: The Squiggoth has a transport capacity of 30, but it may only carry Infantry models. It is treated as an open-topped vehicle for purposes of transport.

Weapons and Equipment:
- Huge tusks
- Mechanical jaw and spiked tail
- The howdah has one Gigga Zap Kannon and two rear mounted supa-lobbas
- Two Supa-Rokkits
- Two Deth kannons with co-axial gigashootas
- Power Shield (gives the model a 2+ save)

Unit Stats: WS2 BS2 S10 T8 W8 I1 A6 LD7 SV2+

Options: The Squiggoth's howdah may have up to four pintle-mounted big shootas for 10pts each. All additional weapons must be fired by a transported model. The Squiggoth's howdah may also exchange its Deth Kannons for supa-skorchas at no additional cost.

Special Rules:
Tusked and Tailed: Thanks to its enormous tusks and spiked tail, when the Squiggoth charges it adds +3 to its Attacks rather than +1.
Da Iron Jaw: Due to it's mekkanicul makings, Da Iron Jaw counts as a Titan Close Combat weapon in all respects.
Da Gigga Zap Kannon: Range 72'' STR 2D6 AP 1 heavy 3, 7" blast. Roll to determine the Gigga Zap Kannon's Strength every time you fire it. A roll of 11 or 12 is treated as Destroyer.
Effigy: Due to its towering size, the Squiggoth inspires all orks that 'biggah iz bettah' and thus all ork mobs within 12'' are fearless.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'll get pictures up when my camera is done charging.

EDIT: Added rules for 'Da Gigga Zap Kannon'
EDIT: Changed some rules to represent size.

really nice but...
the house on the back well looks like an empire house!!!
looks more like an ecentric engineer has moved to lisandra (sorry spellings...) and cought a big lizzard and now lives on it!!!

the sqigoth looks great but i think more of a opend topped thing on the back just my oppinion.

Pickle · July 25th, 2008, 08:51

Holy Squiggoth! That is huge, looking great sculpting wise, keep it up.

Inquisitor_Naravus · July 25th, 2008, 08:54

At WMadman: Actually now that you mention it, yes it does... but its still a WiP and I will be adding more to various sections to make it seem like a proppa howdah.

i guess but my interpritation of orks is they throw anything together (like i do when i try to spell...) so a perfect house looks quite wierd...

i know there isnt any lustria in 40k just saying what i think it looks like!

add loads of random pieces of plasti card so it looks realy cobbled together and a second floor...

Nice conversion but your points for the datasheet is grossly undercosted. Something that shoots out 5 big templates, 2 gigashootas, and the super rokkits should not be 850 points. I would say at least another 600-700 points.
