I gave this some thought and I think the current giants look like crap. Orge models yes and not very giant like. So I thought... giants look just like really big people so why not use a scaled dwarven model skin tinted to be a dark pinkish color. Nothing else really needs to change but the model. So I started making giant varients using dwarves and plan to make some Hill, Mountain, Fire, Frost, and a few others. ETA end of the day before I have them completed with a screen shot on the forum here.

work in progress getting the coloring right and then Im going to get the stats for them from the monsters maunals. I think Im going to make 8-10 different giants.

Dwarfs hate you MMT. Maybe recycle earth genasi?

those are just my base. Ive changed armors, heads, hair, and weapons. Takes me some time to get everything fabbed up so they look decent. dont see why I cant use the earth gen for a few either, aswell as some humans. I just think that the lack of dynamics on most monsters makes for a bland game. Not all gaints wear the same armor or use the same weapons. shouldnt be a cookie cutter I think Im trying to say. Also when I make monsters I drill out a few more weapons and a few different armors adding the the ever expanding collection. Im out of the house at the moment so progress has stopped but I have the fire giant armor and weapon done along with the forest giants. Made a bone club thanks to MwM's weapon pack for the hill giants. I got frost giants left before I start working on a cloud giant and storm giant.
earth gen might be better for hill giants and the little known earth giants. Also fire gen might be good for the other other fire giant? cant remember their name at the moment but they are the less noble angry giants that resemble the fire giants.

I like these better than the ogres although I think the ogre might make a good hill giant or mountain giant if it was scaled slightly larger. The giant models in NWN1 were actually pretty decent IMO, if you emulate those you'll be all right.
I kind of like the Frost and Fire Giants Lou is currently using. They do look like they could use a little more muscle though.

Earth Genasi would work for stone giants, I think. Fire Genasi might work for Azers, perhaps.

the first batch of giants I made I used scaled dwarf models. They never really looked right to me.

yeah Im going to get to looking better. I might just use some human models and see if I cant scale them into the right look. And earth gen and fire gen for some others. Ill get them looking right somehow.
