My third Gargant was supposed to become a mercenary for the “Idoneth” faction, and the main challenging aspect, apart from choosing the model, was “What kind of armor should a sea giant have?” I gathered a couple of references, stocked up on an STL from Mezgike, and got to work. I decided that perhaps “Gargant — Kraken Eater” was already quite old, and a cult had already formed around it. I chose the colors based on the color wheel: yellow — as a play on the character “Hastur”; orange + red for the crab’s shell (this would best reflect the marine theme); and blue for the skin color — I borrowed the idea from the Sea Giants in D&D. It turned out interesting, and I like it. There are still a lot of factions left, and I’m still thinking about which factions the next Mega‑Gargants will serve; ideally, I want to have 9 Gargants in their “Brotherhood”.

I really loved the concept of giving armor to such amazing and colossal units as Mega-Gargants, I am especially pleased that it turns out to develop a project in which my Army of the Sons of Behemate will consist of those who spend most of their time in the ranks of someone else's army, but in the hour of need, according to my idea, they can come and trample the enemies together. My idea is for the Tribe to be somewhat like the "Round Table" in the Legend of King Arthur. The backstory of this Gargantuan was for me that in the heat of the battle with the Spirit of the Mountain, this guy became partially obsessed with it and, due to exposure to the Quartz of the Lumineth world, became intelligent enough not to cause trouble. A bonus photo of this guy with his Brother from Helsmiths of Hashut. Two Gargants are ready, I'm moving on to the third one and I already know what the fourth one will be.

Phew, this was quite a long project for me. This is my first Gargant and the start of my Sons of Behemat army!

Honestly, the concept for this miniature went through quite a few changes, from a Gargant-Knight to a Stone Giant (then I took the idea from the Stone Giant of Evil Earth from the D&D tabletop game). Later, the "Helsmiths of Hashut mercenary" theme was added. I chose the Zharr-Vyxa faction.

I've been working on this miniature for the last three days, and one day I even realized I'd been working nonstop from 7am to 8pm.

I've been meaning to make this post for a while, but I'm currently having trouble with the OSL, and when I get some rest, I'll fix the mess I made.

Some of the painting techniques I tried for the first time or related to this include: lava effect on a base, wetblending, and an airbrushed marble effect.

Most likely, the next Gargant I want to make will be Kraken-eater(Frost Giant of Evil Water) or King Drodd (Storm Giant)

I can say that I really liked how it looks, even with my mistakes. I would be glad if someone could help me improve and change the Gargant for the better.
