[DSII] GEV Cybertanks

Seeing those Fortress Figures tanks rereleased, and reading about SJG's 
future plans for Ogre, has got me thinking about doing some Ogre stuff 
again.	I've got a ton of stuff that needs to be painted, but typically
I 
want to start another project that I will never get around to finishing.

In this case, an GEV Ogre -- call it an Oni, I guess.  I'm going to use 
those Fortress Figures hovertanks as Nihon units, and it would be nice
to 
have an Ogre to give them some heavy support.

I can go two ways with this.  One would be to just give it a massive 
hoverskirt -- basing the body on the GZG "Giant Flatbed GEV
Loadcarrier".  
This would seem to be the easier way to go, and probably would look the 
best.

The other would to go for a more traditional Ogre look, and give the Oni

four "hover units" -- either one located at each corner of the body, or
as 
many as I could fit.  I could use some spare Fortress figures for this.

Which of the two methods would make more sense?  I'm well aware of the 
improbability of any GEV of this size working, so I'm not going to let
the 
physics of it worry me too much, but I have to wonder whether a lot of 
separate units would be more durable.
