What model would you use for the Giant inducement?
As per the title, I've been wondering what model would best suit the Giant that we can now play with as of the Death Zone supplement.
For those of you who don't have the supplement, the Giant is essentially a S7 player that takes up 4 squares of space on the pitch.
As such its got a whopping 68mmx68mm of floor space to work with. So essentially anything that can be squeezed onto a round 60mm base.
However, I've so far been unable to find a model that would fit the warhammer fantasy / blood bowl aesthetic and fit inside it.
The models that have come the closest so far are either the AoS Mancrusher Gargant or Ghorgon ( I main Chaos Chosen in BB2, so the Ghorgon would fit very nicely if I were to take the plunge into the Tabletop world with my favourite team!).
But the problem with both of those is that their stance is just too wide. The Ghorgon is shown on a 50x100 square base on GW's store and it takes up the whole thing and the Mancrusher seems to occupy pretty much the same dimensions with its feet. As such I would need to somehow model them with a stance that is like 40% or more narrower. Not only might this be beyond my skills (I have newer owned any physical models before), but it might make the models as wobbly as the Total War: Warhammer 2 version of the Ghorgon, and that's as wobbly as it gets.
Other models that come close and would fit on the 60mm base are the Fomoroid Crusher and Ogroid Myrmidon, again from the AoS catalogue. These guys in fact come with a 60mm base so they would certainly fit. However, they leave quite a bit of empty space compared to Blood Bowl big guy models who routinely invade the personal space of everyone in their 8 adjacent squares. I even did some measurements from my screen and came to the conclusion that those models are only like 50% taller than, say, a minotaur. Certainly big enough to justify S7, but not quite enough to be truly gigantic in my mind.
As such, with this long introduction finally out of the way... Do you guys know of models that are somewhere between the Ghorgon and a Fomoroid Crusher in size, that would fit on a 60mm base and would not look out of place on the Blood Bowl pitch?

A snotling scaled up 1000%.
A few hundred snotlings in a trench coat, you say?
