Hellpit Abomination Ideas

Thought i'd start a thread to get people's ideas on this guy as i'm guessing alot of people are already itching to see how they can model one.
A couple ideas i've had are

- making a green stuff slug like body then covering it in skaven arms/legs/heads to make a huge mass of flesh
- converting a giant to be a more beast like giant that's been turned into a huge rat ogre with multiple heads/arms etc.
- converting a chaos spawn to be essentially as it is now but with some fur and skaven heads/tails attached (not sure if these spawn are large enough)

From the other posts ive read this sounds like a really massive form of a Rat King.

I was going to use this model

It may not be the mix and match of all things skaveny, but it sure looks like one ticked off demon-spawn thing.

Or this with a bit of conversion should do the trick too

I’ll wait to see IF there’s a model for it first, and how good/expensive it is... However, if I was to make one myself I’d build up bits of sprue to get the right shape and then stick bits of clanrat/Slave/whatever to the outside. Similar to the green stuff idea, but without using as much!

I'd figure a fair number of Rat Ogre bits on top of the regular Skaven bits - it's a hulking monster, and making it look like a centipede on crack wouldn't be quite so intimidating.

I honestly imagine something like a cross between the first model Eudaimon linked to and the mutated-slug deal.

I think I'm sorted for a Abomination

That's amazing!
Where did the legs come from?

I agree, that's a neat looking monster. I want to get more confirmation about the base sizes before I commit myself for more monsters and warmachines.

I like the centipede-rat-ogre, but needs more tenth arms!

Seeing as Nizi will most likely be away for a while, I can tell you that the legs are made from the carnifex kit.
They are made from the scything talons and you can see other nids bits used there as well.

I've seen this beauty in the flesh and it would make any Moulder proud.

You've seen it in the flesh? Lucky!

Alright, back on topic before this gets derailed. I have had this idea to use a giant as mentioned before, but it would not have the normal limbs, but rat-ogres in place of it's head, arms, legs, a nice rat-ogre hanging on a huge ball for a tail, well you get the picture

Now, if only I had the talent or the money to do this

i'm thinkin about using a heavily greenstuffed stegadon myself.

Just a thought guys, but if the Hellpit abomination does indeed come into the new book, then GW will surely make a model for it, as its a new unit.

But if you were going to greenstuff a monster, then i'd have thought a carnosaur is more of the right shape for a giant rat beast.

no if, its 100% confirmed i readthe book myslef. and i'm pretty sure it doesnt have a model, as i dodnt see any in the paining section or pictures. likely one in 2nd wave, but i cant wait tht long.

well im going for the shaggoth lower body, the giants upper torso, stegadon head and carnifex crushing claws
