Hello!
Here is an ancient dragon ogre - Shaggoth. The fidget/victory animation shadows were edited by mrtn (the edited shadows are not shown in the animated preview). This is an unit for the Beasts of Chaos in WH-mod. Enjoy :)

Here's some civilopedia taken from the Games Workshop website:
As Dragon Ogres grow older, they grow larger, continuing to increase in size as the centuries pass by. It is thought that only death in battle can destroy a Dragon Ogre, for otherwise they will survive until the end of time, as long as there is lightning to refresh their souls and bodies. The oldest Dragon Ogres are therefore monstrous indeed. Alive since before the Elves had learned the ways of written language, perhaps even before the arrival of the Old Ones, Shaggoths, as these fell beasts are known, can reach titanic proportions and on occasion have been seen to tower above forest canopies, even castles.

Such is the horror of the Shaggoths that the sire of the Dragon Ogre race, Krakanrok the Black who has existed for time immemorial, is said to be the size of a mountain. Tales like this are surely exaggerated, but illustrate the sheer terror that these mighty, and exceedingly rare, creatures cause in their foes. Though sworn to Chaos, Shaggoths are also fiercely independent and will refuse to fight for a Daemonic master, in the belief that to do so risks what remains of their souls.
