Update
I've been rummaging in my bitz box and I've got a plan for my mrk 3 great gargant.
1) In a shameless display of bad taste, the belly gun is going to be replaced with the mortar from the old 40k Griffon. I just need to make it flat on one side.
2) I'm going to replace the arms with parts from the plastic "Ronin" robot minatures. This will involve bulking up the peices a bit, they look anorexic, but they are very light and easy to position.
3) I will take both the arm weapons from the same kit and Orkify them with a selection of plastic tubes, gundam weapons and wire. The weapons will be cut to present a flat surface on which as many barrels as possible will be placed to represent twin soopagunz.
I wrestled with two opposing, but equally orky, philosphies on this. One was the need for a close combat weapon and the other for as many guns are possible.
Gunz won out because I have yet to fit a good lifta droppa and I keep having this fantasy of a IG chimera platoon wiped out in a single volley.
