Something Colossal and Squiggy is Coming!
May 18, 2012 by brennon
Warhammer Forge have unleashed something so dangerous, so unpredictable and so full of dark humour that it just has to be shared. Welcome into existence the dangerously over sized Colossal Squig!
While it has all the hallmarks of a classic Squig; the open toothy maw and the bulbous round shape it is certainly something you would try and avoid. I bet most greenskins would try and avoid this monstrosity too if they could! Here's a few images of the model without the added accessories...
Powerful spells from the minds of insane Night Goblins,and drugged live food is the only way to guide these things onto the battlefield. As a budding Night Goblin Shaman you can find the rules for this Colossal beast in Monstrous Arcanum.
Will you be adding this to your expanding greenskin armies?

That’s a BFS – a Big Friggin’ Squig! Interesting to see they’ve gone for a colour other than red for this one, and I love those fierce looking jaws. It’s quite a bit pricier than the regular Mangler in moneys, but I don’t think there’s anything to stop you using it as one in-game. Should be made from stiffer resin than the Mangler too, so hopefully there won’t be load-bearing issues.
It appears that its rather well anchored on that foot. A lot of ‘terrain’ underneath it to keep it steady. Despite the prize I do like how its looking, and would be a rather massive investment for the tabletop I imagine through Monstrous Arcanum.
Nice feeling of Warhammer ‘Darkness’ mixed with that humour element.

It’s stil not as funny as FW’s traditional Scaredy-Wet-Himself-Man running away again…I mean this thing could literally swallow him whole! He doesn’t look as if he’s going to make it this time, I bet the next big FW model gets a new size comparison figure… 😉
That poor little guy never gets an easy day…
Thats one huge squig. That sculpt is actually rather good.
Put that in a unit of squig herders/hoppers… that’s my filler! 🙂
Is the idea normally not that you can save a little cash on a filler 😉
The over all look is a home run. I can see it also in use for chaos as a chaos spawn or beast. I wish I had orc and goblin army to justify me buying it, but for now I will hold off picking this big fella up.
That’s pretty awesome.
Not a fan of the pose, a bit static. Being such a big squig and having so much room to work with I would expect more I guess? I don’t know how to word it really, it just looks bland.
is it true that forgeworld have switched from using resin to using finecast?? Ive heard rumours that they have and this is immensely worrying 🙁
