Is a Piece of String too big?

What do you want to use it for? AFAIK it's proportions and size are a little off for ogryns, the old metal giants work better. It could make a great skeletal nurgle demon prince.

It could work, but is is very big and has quite thin limbs, which would look quite strange next to 54mm models.

The old metal giant would fit more to the scale (as the =][= rulebook shows), the current plastic one is a bit too lanky to easily blend in. I'd thought about it myself but looking at one on the shelf next to my =][= models made it apparent that i wouldn't personally be able to pull it off.

It gong be a mutant,I'm planning on mixing it up with a few spawn bits and have some zombie heads coming out of its skin!!

Not sure on the rules yet,but I'd be planning on having him on the very stupid side!!!

I'm pretty sure it's nickname will be "drongo"!!!

It would be truly huge, even bigger than an ogryn, so be sure to make it incredibly stupid, it would have suffered immense mutations to get to such an immense size, you could also try to make the legs appear stronger to lift such a weight.

The Giant model is positively gargantuan, probably about three times the height of an Inquisitor model. The pot belly and comparatively lanky limbs make it of questionable value unless you're interested in something horrible and Nurgley.
