i love my shaggoth! ive used it in my last battle and was considerably impressed.

It was the only surviving unit of mine on the table by turn 4 (i got massacred) but proceeded to splat my HE opponents dragon princes, his massive spearmen block, and scare his chariot off the field!

Any unit dies if you focus fire on it. My shaggoth took 2 wounds from a boltthrower, one from the charging knights, and one from repeated skirmisher fire.

Shaggoths are awesome! And the model is really nice.

As for a different model - you could try kitbashing beastmen and lizardmen together? there is a Kholek model you can order from china too..

here is the Miss Painting group. they have a Kholek model (you can see it by googling "miss painting kholek" or by going to the "sculpting service" on their site. here is the auction on ebay.)

<3 shaggoths.

Wow I love that one. But a little bit to expensive for my taste. Does anyone know a model in the price range of approx 20-30$ ??

the GW one, bought from somewhere like OGGames or Maelstrom Games? should be about $30

I saw a post on here (can't remember who) that had a custom made Kholek Suneater model. The model was from Miss Painting Group at:
www.misspainting.com. The model is absolutely amazing. You can also find Vilitch and Throgg on there. I believe you can just email them with a picture/ideas and they will make the model for you. Hope this helps!

Edit: Oops, guess I should have read the other replies first seeing as how I just told you what General Lee did. My bad lol.

I haven't got round to using it. I'll probably use it as kholek as that stat line is sick.

i read your report mcpolle, thats very, very unlucky :(

i think taking two shaggoths was too much - with so much focus on rares people will always try to deal with them quickly. how about trying just one?

i had a complete opposite time with mine:
match 1 - ate 6 dragon princes for breakfast
match 2 - soaked up two cannonballs, ate the cannon, crushed the runesmith and retinue with a single wound left
match 3 - beat up a DE chariot and ran it off the board, then kept CO knights away from the middle

all in all, i found having a shaggoth is an excellent addition to my army!

hope you dont give up on them just yet - try a couple of friendly games with just one!
