You could just use it as a slave giant. Cover it with chains and score whipmarks into the back of its legs etc.

If you want to make it skaveny, it will be difficult. Rat ogre parts are just far too small to work with it. Maybe you could greenstuff random patches of fur onto the beast. Or greenstuff a bit of a tail onto it.
Big teeth sticking out of its mouth should be easy enough to do though. It could be a giant mutated by Clan Moulder. With the obligatory chunks of warpstone hammered into its flesh of course. ^_^

Thats all I can think of for now. Sorry.

Wish I could plot like you can, you must have a mind like a corkscrew to turn all those scheming corners

This Bit always comes in handy when making giant rat things, you may have to chop the neck a bit though. Or if you chop This Guy'shead off and with a little green stuff to increase the ear size it should do nicely (or at least in theory)

I think it would be really cool (prob will never happen) if GW made like an accesory box with different parts to make a giant fit in more to the army like skaven head, tail etc. Vamprire Counts a giant zombie and so on and so forth

Every one will prob think this is a dumb idea but i think it would b kewl

...you can still call me Rusty Tincanne if you want, though.

At my local GW store there is a wonderful conversion of an older giant model all bandaged up and a splinted leg, using a doomwheel as a wheelchair. Probably not the idea you're after, of course.

If you didn't want to do much converting you could use the giant as a slave.

Or if you were planning on playing siege, you could rig one up, tied to the hilt, being carried by clanrats (ala Gulliver in Lilliput), using the giant like a battering ram.

Your original ideas are great, though. I think it'll be great. But how do you field him rules-wise?
