Gigantic Snake

I recently finished this gigantic snake for my Lustria-themed Warhammer Quest collection.  It's a hard rubber toy that I've had since my childhood (retrieved from my parents' attic).  It took model paints well, & I'm pleased with the outcome.  I'll be using the Giant Snake rules from the excellent Warhammer Quest Chronicles website.  Those stats make this a tough Monster for the adventuring Warriors, worth 570 gold for slaying.  For comparison, a basic Ogre is worth 400 gold, a Gigantic Scorpion is 450 gold, while a Kroxigor is 750 gold.

As with my Gigantic Scorpion, following the size logic of giant & gigantic spiders in Warhammer Quest, I termed this huge snake 'gigantic', & will count it as a Large Monster, because it required a Ø60mm base (2x2 dungeon squares).  It will probably need a few Wounds added to it's profile to account for being potentially open to more Warriors attacking it at once, & a slightly higher Gold value as a reward for defeating it.
