You know how tanks are usually crap in melee? And how if you're transporting units across the battlefield then that's a lot of firepower which isn't doing anything while it's snugg and warm? Well the Gargantuan Squiggoth has you covered in so many departments, that you too will want this massive hunk of plastic in your life as well! The Gargantuan Squiggoth combines the protection of a super heavy tank, with the open topped nature of a light tank, allowing the 20 boyz inside to shoot back, along with the firepower (if a big dialled back and costing some transport space). In an apocalypse setting though, what you're buying this for is to keep your (very squishy) troops safe, until they disembark and the squiggoth charges something very big and not so goof in melee worth more points. Say, I don't know, a Titan? Only the orks would be insane and brilliant enough to do so.

Ow, it also has the usual ork and <clan> rules, so your monster is actually a lot more reliable and buffable than it first appears.
