Citadel never did a Squiggoth model for 40K, although they are present in Epic and are definitely a part of the Ork milieu.  Presented below are stats for a Squiggoth in 40K, based on the vehicle design rules.  Pictures of our own Squiggoth to come...

SQUIGGOTH (211 pts) Heavy Support

Front Side Rear BS
12 13 12 2
WS S I A
4 10 2 2

The Squiggoth is an Open-Topped vehicle.

Weapons: Two dreadnought close combat weapons.  Even though the Squiggoth is not a dreadnought, it is incredibly strong.  May mount up to four Bolt-On Big Shootas at the normal cost.  May add a Lobba for +15 points.

Transport:  The standard Squiggoth howdah can carry up to 11 models.  Some feral ork tribes modify their howdahs to be larger or double-decker, allowing a total transport capacity of 20 models (for +9 points); however, such feral howdahs cannot mount Big Shootas.  Sometimes a mekboy will cover a howdah with an armored canopy (+5 points), and thus these are not open-topped, but these, too, cannot mount Big Shootas.  Such armored Squiggoths are occasionally used to transport a Warboss and his Nobz.

Special Notes:

Amphibious.  The Squiggoth treats water as clear terrain, as it's very tall and can walk through most water hazards and still leave its crew far above the water line.

Wrecker.  Squiggoths can attack terrain features (houses, fences, etc) and immobilized vehicles.  See rules for "Wrecker" in White Dwarf.
