The one suggestion I would have to make it look less nimble is to make teh legs less clean looking, instead make them look like reinforced steel beams with huge cogs for joints rather than ball joints.  In fact you could have something like this:



I would put huge pistons across the joints to push them down, with the chains to help pull the legs up.

You could still make it look like an effigy of the ork gods by making the 4 legs look like a mode of transportation for the effigy.  Meaning, make the upper half look like a traditional gargant complete with feet - only strapped to a 4-legged platform.

My mechanism is a little bit different than that, I started building it...the legs are very spider like, but I need to beef them up a little bit, but that shouldnt be too hard!

Oh yeah...did I already mention its going to be a little bit bigger than the usual Gargant models? Sort of a true scale Mega Gargant for Epic  :devil:

Ok, here are the first...veeeeeery WIP pictures of the lower part of the body. Its basically the walking mechanism. The lower legs need a little bit of beefing up, not too much though since I like the idea of pointy feet which basically stab the ground they walk on, meaning that these feet could also be close combat weapons, however a little beef is needed to keep it more stable.

The upper body will be made from cardboard and insides parts of electronics which have the detailed structure which is very fitting for the Mega Gargant. This will be a very shooty Mega Gargant, no close combat weapons, just tons of guns each arm armed with a big weaponssystem, large turrets on the shoulders and various weapons in the body itself.

Tripple post I know...some other concept art I did ages ago, I might make these two but as smaller Gargants...depends how many materials etc Ive got left after  I'm done with building 2 or 3 of these big ones.

Yeah, I removed the close combat weapon, mounted several of the old turrets on the left shoulder and a Lifta on the right shoulder. I also made some bigger speakers on the Wyrd Boy Tower.

Not sure yet what kind of other large shooting weapon I want to add on the other arm.

I never mount any C/Cbt weapons on any Titan or Gargant ... only firepower !  :D

Intersting. My first reaction was that it wouldn't work for Orks. Now.... must resist this dark side of the force.... must not try to build one...  :)

By the way, this thing is huge, it stands about 11 cm tall (little bit over 4 inches) but then again I did always find the original Ork Mega Gargant a bit too small.

I like your concept. However I'm not sure how Orky it is to have insect-like endings on the legs.
