Love the "Super Grot" pose 1-i... but what's in his right hand... I can't make it out?

@KilroyKiljoy: Great! Welcome to the show! Cyber grot... try to focus on the "dakka colors" (yellow, black, grey, red, gold). That's about it.

OH, and you need to have hazard stripes on him somewhere...

That is the ammo box hes currently trying to bring up the front lines.

Aaaah! Got it!

Cool idea for the random draw

I would appreciate it if everyone could think positive thoughts. Please join me in chanting:

"'Urry up, Grot Bitz, 'urry up!" (Waagh, Waagh!)

"'Urry up, Grot Bitz, 'urry up!" (Waagh, Waagh!)

Thank you.

Happy to have you, but the squig hounds are spoken for, short of one dropping out. If you can do a grot that would be

The mob's shaping up nicely

And the random draw is a great idea, many thanks to our benevolent herders.

all hail the herders (if you do not hail them you will be eaten by a squig hounds) all glory to the herders.

and guy's AWESOME that you would do something like that now that's dedication.

okay that sounded like a suck up but i mean it i really like what you guy's are doing

The chanting worked! My plan commences. Expect results soon.

Actually, you guys are doing such awesome work... it's very inspiring. So we thought we'd give back a bit. Plus a little encouragement never hurts!

We certainly are not doing it for the praise (though they are nice) or to try to draw in more people (which is also nice). Our mob, for whatever reason, has been by far the one that people have been drawn too. You guys are the ones that are setting the bar for the rest of Waaagh Dakka, and spreading the word on what it is (a community based project, with chances to meet new Dakkanauts) vs it just being an ego trip (Clearly I should be a Mega Armor Warboss).

So in short, its our thanks to you guys. Hopefully when you become a DCM you don't ditch us for Nob-hood

Man the mob is growing fast isn't it?!
Also the drawing is super cool. You guys are just too awesome.

I don't know what everyone else here is for but I'm just here for the inevitable Cyber-Grot rebellion! When we lowly cyber-grots throw off the shackles of oppression and take control of Waaagh Dakka from within!

Hey, a grot can dream...

Okay, Da Konvershion is Komplete. I'm very sorry for the damage I'm going to cause to someone's brain. Greenstuff needs to cure, then I can prime and paint.

I play a squeaky waagh (click on the link in my sig if you still don't get it )... Where did you expect me to be . On a more serious note: I think naming the mob 'da konvertas' made a lot of the mek/painboyz come here. I know it was the second thing that drew me in - besides the idea of a cybergrot.

why do you think my grot has a laptop he is already "haking" as he calls it into the emperor so he will order a planetary bombardment

TAKE COVER! INCOMMING!

A grot "hacking" the Emperor... now THAT's BRILLIANT!!!

LOL!

Too bad about that Grey Knight firewall!

Hey, awesome work here so far. Especially loving Tipios's, that's an inspired piece there.

I was hoping to get in on this myself, and fatty recommended I check out the thread, so here I am. Thanks for that, btw.

My current idea is to have one cybork gretchin with a grot blasta built into his chest or attached to his shoulder standing in a 'menacing' pose with a second gretchin behind him actually aiming and firing. Is that kosher, or would having two gretchin on one base be too much?

My plans change by the week though, so who knows. Also considering doing a cybork cowboy grot. I have three grots coming in the mail, so I guess I've got some choices.

Lastly, if I sign up here do I still need to add myself to the article discussion list? Or is that just for people starting new mobs? Not really sure how that whole deal works.

Hey Zefig... be great to have you join us! I love your idea! Perfectly suitable... and an angle that no one else has tried yet.

This is just our "internal" blog for everyone in our mob (though everyone's welcome to hang out of course). When you're finished here we'll add your pic to the Waaaagh Dakka article... but it might be worth your while to officially "sign in" over at the discussion thread as well.


OH and Solar... fix your damn profession please... *sigh*

I've made some progress on my "cybergrot" (which actually does not contain any Ork bitz).

Oh, and I see the Cult is spreading. I feel like buying DCM status just so I can put a similar "Profession"

Well GS, finish your grot and you may WIN your own DCM status... we're raffling off 3 and some dakka dice to the mob members that complete their projects!

Will do. I think I'll go off and find the Gnoblar head I need in order to complete the build.

Even if you do become a DCM, like solar lion, we can either extend your membership, or you could opt to give it to someone else, or have us do another drawing for it. I'm pretty strict like that...

Okay, look. I'm really sorry. But, you have to understand something. I SEE things, and I must make them. Sometimes, it works. Sometimes, it doesn't work.

I'm really sorry for any brain damage I'm about to cause.

"Wild" Boom Boltslinga was known for his Karnival of Killy, but things had taken a downturn, recently. Blame it on the economy, blame it on a season of slow toof growth, blame it on a never-ended series of Waaaaghs that had decimated the local Ork population. Whatever. So he needed something new. Something exciting. Something that would taps the very essence of bein' a Grot. And then, while out scrounging for parts, he saw a dead Squighound. And 'e knew, right then, what Grots needed. What Grots wanted. What Grots would pay hundreds of teef to ride.

A Mekanikal Squighound.









I'm so sorry.

--Brian

That... that is just pure genius Brian! It's a fantastic concept which has been well executed in a rather comedic way. I must congratulate you on your ingenuity.

Still alive here:



So we have an almost complete cyber-grot searching for the tiny 'akountant' model head that's just rolled off his work-top




Oh, no the robo-chicken's back!




And there's scales on the tail. Evolution in action before your very eyes.


Grot needs a bit of GS and some details on the arm, squig-hound needs some cleaning up, sticking together, decisions made on the top-side, and wires. Needs some wires, there's none yet, that's not natural.

You silly, silly man. Awesome - love the use of the ammo crate.

Brian, that is downright brilliant
