On the AMTL list Gorgons are listed as a walkers, what do others see them as resembling so that I have an idea of what kind of proxy to field.

The gorgon is a treaded vehicle. The "Walker" description is simply a rules abstraction that illustrates certain abilities the vehicle has. Not that it is in fact a walker type machine. For example the Ragnarok tank is listed as Walker as well, and so is White Scars Bikes.

Check out Forge World's website for a look at the 40k scale Gorgon.

The 'walker' special rule merely allows it to re-roll difficult terrain tests; You could scratch build your own 'walking' type Gorgons though that'd be cool!

I did kind of warm to the idea of some sort of quadrapedal walking machine, something like the walkers in Clone Wars films. I'll have a look for something suitable to base it on, Dark Realms maybe?

I'm pretty sure...if you wanted to go down that path, that they made the Star Wars walkers as small Die-Cast Micromachines...they might be a good base.
