I actually think the army is pretty good for being so fluffly. The only change I would suggest would be to have all 3 MaGs to have combi-skorchas so you have more flamers.
Grotzookas on the Kans would be good but idk if you could find the points.

I like the list; my only concern is that your MANZ will be very slow without a transport... If you never shoot the kans, big shootas are fine, but grotzookas offer a lot more options. Still, your army in the end!
Also: why prods? I'd rely on the grabba stick to keep MC/ICs honest, then toss in kanz or MANZ. In my theory-hammer mind, grabba sticks beat prods since reducing the wounds you get matters more then dealing a wound on a 4+. Kanz and MANZ will have trouble with MCs, so you need something else to help them out.

The varied weapon load out is for wound allocation cheese! and in last nights game against Arbitor Ians penal legion it really worked a treat, the squad took a full 5 wounds before I lost 1 MegaGit! Taking wounds so the GrotMek stays alive is this squads job! CommissarKhaine wrote:I like the list; my only concern is that your MANZ will be very slow without a transport...

yeah but the MANZ only have to keep up 6" from the Kans to provide the Kans with a KFF save... that's their job. CommissarKhaine wrote: Also: why prods?

Prods weren't that useful last night, and graba sticks are awesome. But I If i get assaulted by a MC and manage not to get eatten the prod is likely to be the only thing that will hurt it... In a 500pts game I played against eldar a grot prod killed a avatar, ok the avatar only had one wound left after getting shot up, but it assaulted a squad of grots thinking it could hide in combat and got a grot prod stuck in it's eye. GrotZookas are made of win and in 1500pt each kan squad will have at least 1, even If I don't fire them for most of the game... in this list I could drop 1 Buggy or Kan to find some points?...

If the MANZ are only there as a bodyguard, they don't need a truck, that's true.
The prods... I'm still not convinced. vs a MC you need a 4+ to hit, 4+ to wound, and it has to fail it's save...That's, assuming 3+ save, 1 chance in 12 of wounding per attack. better then I expected, tbh. But the MC needs 3+ to hit, 2+ to wound, meaning each of his attacks has 5/9 to cause a wounding hit. I'd rather take away that attack tbh, and rely on kanz to crush it. Still, if it works for you... You've played more games then I have with the grots, so you've got the experience advantage! One last thing: I'd would go all grabba sticks or all prods, not in between. Thay way, you'll maximize your chance of a desirable result: doing wounds, or not getting killed.
As for points: 3 grabba sticks instead of prods = 15 points already.

yeah, Last night I finished converting and painted these GrotHerder guys, I just finished basing them... three are made of OOP guardsmen, three are made from GorkMorka OrkYoofs. the last guys are the FW grot piggyback assistants. they have been given plastic grot heads, runtHerder weapons and a few squigs from eBay. GrotHerder1  GrotHerder2  GrotHerder3  GrotHerder4  GrotHerder5  GrotHerder6  GrotHerder7  Group Shot  I think they are just right, not too big to be mistaken for orks.. Just BiggerGits!  I'll need a few more for the 1500pt army, the OrkYoofs are very easy to convert so I'll probabily get a few more of those, plus a couple of WHFB SquigRiders will look great. I'm also looking for the WHFB gnoblar piggyback model. Next up is Kans... Panic...

As for the runtherds: grotherder 7 is my fave, he's the closest to my idea for them as well. Nice work!

yeah, As a reward for doing so well at Canterbury I bought the grots £100 of resin goodies so check back later for that! I've been taking it easy lately and having some fun with the army. If you havn't seen it You can read a 1500pts RebelGrots vs Guard BatRep -> here. Some more fun... One thing that's happened alot during games is it's easy to lose track of Kan Wrecks. I've magnatised the arms, so weapon destroyed results are simple. When I get a wreck result I pull off both arms. but quite a few times I've gone to move a wreck, before I remember It's dead! For example these Kans are dead... (killed by ketara)  The two Kans at the top of the board are dead (killed by RinkyDink)  Also a kan standing when it's supposed to be a burning wreck isn't so cool visually. Then I remembered seeing this on the GW website what's new today.  Steve Morris's Dead Sentinels. So I got to thinking I could butcher a box of Kans into dead Kans. £30 for some wreck markers seemed like a bad deal, but I'd also get more weapon arms to magnatise... DeadKAns>>> These were alot of fun to make. I wanted more than 3 wrecks, so it was all about seeing how far I could make the Kan body parts spread. Then I addeded paper clips and guitar wire to the arm sockets>>  Craters, I had a lot of little bits left over, these were put to good use. the craters are built up on 60mm 2mm deep wood bases, I used wood filler as the crater putty. after this dried out I coated everything in PVA to make it harder wearing.  And I hope I never need this many markers...  Must start Painting... Panic...

yeah, I had to dig deep to resurrect this thread! sorry about the neglect! but I've got lots of photos for you guys... hopefully it was worth the wait. --- First up I went to the SilverSorcerer DakkaDakka Meetup @WarhammerWorld Nottingham. ->> my Report <<- includes 6 mini grot filled batreps --- So what have I done lately? The Kan Wall is finished! (some weathering to do later at the same time as the dreads/megadreads!)              --- And Next up is the Markers... I got a bit of negitive feedback about chopping up perfectly good Kans to make markers... But think of it this way; The box cost £27 and I made 10 markers meaning each one cost £2.70 and they make the game flow so much better. Plus the Feedback my opponents have given me is it's fun army to play against and looking at the marker carnage they have caused enhances the game! 5 DeadKans -> Wrecks = Twisted metal       5DeadKans -> Explodes = Craters       How DeadKans Look in ACtion!!!  £2.70 well Spent??  --- I just Finished a 1500pts game Against ArbitorIan's WhiteScars and I got to use lots of DeadKan markers in that game. (I proxied the second BigMek, and used a undercoated dread!... the shame) BatRep to follow... --- It's good to be back! Panic...

To be fair, £27 for ten awesome looking markers is definately money well spent. I particularly like the exploded markers for some reason.
I'm glad to see you updating this blog, I read through all the previous posts and I was hoping you'd get back round to adding more pics of your grots.
