Question about the Ogre Kingdoms Gnoblar Fighters box: I wanted to use it for some 40k Grot conversions- does anyone know how the Gnoblars compare size-wise to Grots? I'm hoping they're about the same size or, even better, smaller than the plastic Grots.

Second question, anyone know a good source for plastic squigs?

Thanks in advance

they are a little larger as I remember but might make the cut

Gnoblars make excellent grots. I have a unit of them. Just make sure you get rid of any fantasy bits, like shields, and give them some guns.

I don't know how big are the new plastic Grots, but Gnoblars are slightly smaller than Goblins, and thinner than Night Goblins. They make reasonable Grots, I used them on a converted Basilisk.

I used some plastic Ripper Swarm figs for squigs. Tyranid players have tons of extras.

Thanks for the quick info- I appreciate it.

Funny you mention that, as they're to be conversion fodder for my Ork-based Genestealer Cult (or Greensteela Kult). They'll be joining the lil' buggers below as "Rippa Grot Swarms"- I will likely add a few straight Rippers to fill out the bases.

good job i really do not like orks.
