Alright kids, as some of you have become aware, WAAAAGH Dakka is upon us, and in our attempt to get folks to join our Mob, we have derailed all our threads. After consulting with Boss Yak, I got the for this.

Myself, Gitsplitta, and Inmygravenimage have taken to leading a Mob of Gretchin. But not just any little green buggers. With our background in the P&M world, we have gone with Cybork Body Grots. This thread is to be the home for Da Konvertas with all WIPs and discussion. Feel free to post in your own blog and the Waaagh Dakka Thread.

See the whole Waaagh here: http://www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/Waaagh%20Dakka

Anyways, heres some pics of your fearless herders

Remember, I'm hounding it up, Gits.

I'll be a cyber-squig-hound for you guys.

Well, I'll be putting my cybergrot up here after a lashing - I mean, PM- from waaghmusic :






showing of the kGB (Kustom Grot Blasta):



He'll be getting his undercoat and a lick of paint shortly - do grots have the same colour scheme for skin as the orks in waagh dakkka?

Holy ballz-that's crazy awesome!!

So I think I'll make a model for both and which ever comes out better will be signed up for Da WAAAGH DAKKA. This is too good to not be a part of.

Dakkadakka you rock!

well i guess i will post some pic's of fatty the internet grot in a while but now i need to get to work.

so yeah put me in the list

Funny you mention that- I considered giving him a groin gun, but it looked... a tad phallic, so I decided against it in the end. Familiy forum and all

Crotch Cannon FTW.

also is it only one grot per person or can i do 2?

Awesome - love the rt beakie arm! It is just one each alas.

ow ok :(
i will just have to make this one even cooler then

Y'know, I've been wanting to get involved with the whole WAAAGH Dakka thing, Count me in for a cyber-grot...

Now where did I leave my bitzbox?

I have ordered a grot, was gutted it didn't come this weekend. So I will be converting 1 next week Count me in!!

(do I have to do a crouch cannon?)

Woo-hooo! We're off 'n runnin' boyz!

Got everyone updated. Glad to see this has indeed turned out to be a good idea. I'm hoping to get the "Full Mob Description" part up today, or in the next few at least!

I should have my Grot finished tomorrow, will drop in the pics then.

He's lookin' really good Gir, can't wait to see the final product!

I'll definitely do up a cyber-squig! (I believe you can have up to one per Runtherd and there are 3 of you guys and 2 hounds so far)
Count me in.
Should have it done super fast.

Sounds great Mr.M, in the words of a Southern Scholar... "Git er done!"

One cybergrot ready for painting:



I hope it suffices.

Thats very nice work wib!!

Nice stuff wib... you guys are making me sorry that I had to build a cyber'd up full-sized ork... the grots look like so much fun!

I'm really impressed with the creativity everyone is able to get out of such small and usually basic models. Well done lads.

Gits, you could make done for personal use, wouldn't even have to count as cybork!

Glad you guys like it

Oh, quick question: I know the colour scheme but is there any preference to the tone of Grot skin?

I tend to make mine just a slightly lighter shade than the Boyz but I'll happily try something new to match a theme.

I think there's sort of a guide on the dakka page as far as skin color (I know because I had to change the way I did my ork's skin because it's nothing like how I do it normally). That being said... I don't think there is any specific guidance for grots.

Frankly, I don't feel there's any reason for all of the grots to be exactly the same (and I think it's much more interesting if they aren't). I will however... let chief herder waaaaaghmusic pass final judgement.

@WM: I might do that... IF I can find a spare grot. I think Iffy painted all the one's I had. I actually want to try my hand at a cyber grot... perhaps I'll ask Thing 2 if he wants to build one with me.

I also had to change up how I paint orks. If you get somewhere in the ballpark of the wd standard, thats good for me. If it turns out way off your norm, take some pics for wd and you can do what you need to!

No worries, just wanted to make sure before I started painting.

Thanks

I'm workin' on a Cyber-Grot for da Waaagh!

I'll try and get some pics sometime soon.

Great show for the rest of the group. Some really nice Konvershuns!

Finished building the cyber-squig hound last night. Should have some pics soon.

Quick question: Any preference of skin color for squigs? The usual red?
