hello everyone, I am building an armie for looking at (maybe armies on parade)
of trolls with the troll king,

and I was considering several options as the big monster.

-giant
-shaggoth
-shaggoth made of parts from a giant and a toy dragon (definitely most fun option)
-....

input appreciated (also consider costs, im not rich)

Giant is cheaper and will give you a ton of bitz for future projects. You can chaosify them to whichever god you want or leave them undivided and angry.

I think I heard somewhere that dragon ogres (or just ogres?) are resistant to mutation, so you may not want to make the shaggoth all wiggly. I think the shaggoth looks fancy (to me, at least), but he's 10 bucks more and doesn't come with the bitz that the giant will. Being the Finecast though, he should be easier to work with then previous incarnations!

I'd say...

Aw damn it, I can't decide!

The giant would get my vote. If you were willing to put a little more expense on top of the kit with bits you can do some really nice conversions and the kit itself is full of great bits for other stuff!
My friends bret cowtapult is coming along nicely thanks to giant kits ;)
