WHY CAN'T I QUIT YOU GRETCHIN
I have a new project in the works but sadly parts and materials are slow to arrive so it's going to take time to built up speed before I start a log. Sadly this gives me an excuse to build addtional units for the grots, one of which will be the Digga and a veteran squad of mekboys the other is A GIANT ROBOT!!!

With the more variety in weapons I decided to ditch the Giant Squig for a giant robot. Mainly due to me being unsure of how the Squig would be received following the recent problems with the Enslaved Ork allies, besides having a Grotskull piloting a giant robot will be much better and won't look out of place in the army. I was fortunate to have a knight exo frame to play with the other day and an idea formed which I photoshopped below.

DIZ WAAAGH KEEPZ ROLLIN!?!
Well since my new project is slow to start up it looks like the Grots are getting 2 new units. The first of which is the Night Tekz warband, these guys love using tech to gain the upper hand and thus use a Breaching Drill to surprise the enemy. I had to convert shotguns for most of the squad this time as the FW Breaching Squad can't take lasguns. I doubt I can ever quit doing the grots as making this squad has created some funny characters, such as Bobby on the right who looks like an old victorian police man or the Meltagunner nicknamed "Tank Missile!".



Gazza the Squad Leader even looks so bad ass he might take a leave of absence to man a very big gun, he could maybe even work as a gretchin proxy of Coteaz thou maybe that's a little too far?
After seeing the new mechanicus models I will be converting them into some rocket artillery so can't wait for that.

COLD CALCULATING MACHINES?
Once the breaching drill squad is done I'll be focusing on my new project which in contrast to the grot's warm colours is rather cold, I won't announce till the first model is completed but the bases are coming out nicely.



GROT MEK'S GEARING UP FOR THE FUTURE!
When I do return to the grots I'll be ditching the giant robot for 6 Gretchin Battlebotz using the new Servitors as they're guns are powerful against MCs and Wraithknights. I plan to convert them using the parts gathered for the armoured Sentinels to create a model like the one photoshopped below (I could even use them as armoured sentinels with a weapon refit)
This will also mean that I will need a HQ choice for my allies. So Gazza Stripbolt, the mek in the squad above maybe getting a bigger base and some fancy gear, or if he unsuitable maybe convert Gazlowe from WOW and HOS as my mek

Oooh, I'm excited to see what you've got planned for the next project. As for the servitors/armored sentinels, I like the idea. It's always nice to see what people can come up with using the new Skitarii kits.

DA BEST BOSS DA GROTZ COULD HAVE!!!
I absolutely love Kaptin Squigscream! Commissar Yarrick's rule suit a scrappy Grot Warboss perfectly. Taking part in a tournament this weekend and faced an army of 4 knights 1 of which Squigscream held in combat before being crushed underfoot only to get up a go for another round. If anyone has read Betrayer from the Horus Heresy series it was like the scene when Angron saves Lorgar BUT WITH A GROT!!!

In the 3rd game after his terminator squad was wiped out a marine captain charged his gunline where Squigscream jumped forwards himself and challenged t him in close combat, 2 rounds of combat later he emerged victorious without a scratch but was still hungry for more.... so took down two assault termies nearby again unscared.

OH GW NEVER CHANGE MY SCRAPPY BLOODTHIRSTY WARBOSS!

That sounds like an awesome tournament. I can just imagine Kaptin Squigscream shouting insults and slashing at the knight while he weaves around its mechanical legs.

THE MEKKY WARBAND: DA NIGHT TEKZ
Well here's the last grot warband, my infantry tray is now full, so unless I buy a new infantry tray there is unlikely to be another Squad. Plus I'm going to be taking a break from my grots believe it or not.



This squad was all about gear and I wanted them to look mekky, due to the original seragent Gazza Stripbolt looking too bad ass he was sidelined him for something else, instead we have a small night grot converted using the golbin shaman and a skatari head. With the exception of the Metlagunner and Ork Servo sku... er head they are all armed with Shotguns. Since they'd be emerging from the hold created by the digga I thought to give one a glow stick, which I was unsure at first but came out well.

Next up the digga!

9 YEARZ OF GRETCHIN REVLOUTION!!!
With the completion of my final squad yesterday I decided to recreate a picture I took 9 years ago of the first grot rebelz, the army has been rebuilt twice and you can see how far I have come since then. So for those who wish they could paint that good remember, every expert was once a beginner.



The reason behind my choice for using guard rules was the fact a proper gretchin army using the ork codex would have been limited, very expensive and not very good. So I thought what's the 2nd weakest thing in the universe and settled with guard, and despite all the new ork units I don't think I can go back.

Looks what's taking shape on my model workstation.

Your original work is laudible for certain, but the progress you've made in the intervening years has been excellent. I have an all-grot contingent in my ork army and while it's wonderfully colorful and fun to play, it's not particularly good. So I think you made a good decision.

Love to see where you go with that drill!

DIG TO DA GOAL!!!
Huzzah finished yesterday, my gretchin digga! Perfect for getting behind enemy lines and tearing through enemy tanks. Had to correct some of the bend forgeworld parts thou but here it is.



AND WITH THIS THE GROTS WILL BE COMPLETED! But that doesn't mean I finished with them, 'The Red Gobbo' mecha will be built on the side of my next main project that I will start the log later this week.

One disadvantage to this army is my case is now full and extremely heavy to carry!

Wow, some really characterful conversions in there, and lovely paint to back them up.

The digga is excellent. Nice job dirtying up the drill without going overboard with accumulated dirt and such.

This is why I can never escape the Grots, here I am clearing the hobby station for the next project and I find a use for the unused tank turrets, hello Vengeance Batteries! & Goodbye as you go into storage to be built another day.

Looking awesome as always, Proiteus. It's really cool to see how much you've improved down the years too; though to be honest your hobby skills weren't too shabby back in the day either.

One question: on your tank tracks, and especially on the drill, it looks like you've dry brushed the 'dirt' on. May I ask what colours you used? I've had a bit of joy using Steel Legion Drab but yours look infinitely better.

Keep up the great work!

XV88 Brown, Zamesi Desert, small bit of Bleached Bone, followed by a wash of Seraphin Sepia. Finish off with a faint dry brushing of bleached bone (but not on the infantry).
Paint names might be a bit off but you get the idea.

Yes, my new army project was going to be a Tau Empire Drone Army but with rumors of a codex on a horizon it been put to the sideline and it looks like I'm finishing the grots with something big!
