Let me take a moment to introduce myself. I'm Ninvizible and I made my account about 10 minutes ago. I've always been looking around the dakka forums but I've never gotten into it until today, when I've decided to make an army blog about my Metal Feather Mercenary Force. They are a group of Kroot roaming the sectors looking to inhabit more planets with Kroot and to make some money along the way. I've decided to use the Ork rules for the purposes of playing and modeling. I will be updating often, especially over the next few months because of an escalation league occurring at my local gaming store.

Lets get right into it to look at what I have already.

Kroot Master Shaper (Warboss)




Kroot Carnivores (Slugga boyz)
I'll get nice painted pictures soon


Kroot Trukk
Not sure if I'll use it much. I just got bored one day.



Red Sky
He's a nob leader character guy for an escalation league at my local game store




Medicine man (Pain boy)


Feral Kroot (Nob w/ 'uge Choppa)



Finally, my Kroot Battlewagon




That is all I have for now. I appreciate comments. I promise better pictures next time.

I decided to make a Kroot Ghazzy, so here is Metal Feather himself.

Awesome stuff. I love the Battlewagon and Metal Feather especially. What's his robot body from? Or is it a scratchbuild?

Centurion of course XD. All models are looking great, but the Feral Kroot really caught my attention.

And when I saw the name of your blog, immediately remembered the Metal Beast Mercenaries project. Hope yours end well too.

Nice conversions and kit bashing. I like the vehicles and the infantry. A kroot blog is always interesting to follow, so I'll be eyeing this one closely for future updates. Are you going to include some bikerboyz? Kroot riding a bike or a beast would look awesome.

Oh yeah, I forget about those guys. I guess I didn't think they could actually look cool.

Also, it wasn't until after I commented before that I noticed the awesome chest and leg armor work on the Master Shaper, I love it. Really looking forward to seeing more of this army. I adore Kroot armies.

When I chose the name, I realized how close it was, but it fit too well to not use it. However, I was HUGELY inspired by that army when I found it a while back, and I still am now. Since I began this project I have found my love in project armies and conversions like these. I'm having a lot of fun with it.

I'm kinda trying to go for trukk boyz and speek freaks, it just seems like the Kroot thing to do. So yes! Of course! My ideas at the moment are converting the Skaven doomflayers into some sort of one wheeled bike (trying to keep to the trend of one wheel or tracks) however that is rather expensive, so I'm thinking of only doing that for Feral (Nob) Bikers. Forgeworld beasts are simply a wish of mine. I can't really seem to think of any good excuse to have the Great Knarloc or Knarloc riders. I'm hoping the Orks get a cool MC (Squiggoth thingy, perhaps?) so I have an excuse for a Great Knarloc at least. I'm sure I'll get some in the future one way or another.

For the escalation league I'm building the army for, I've played 3 of my 4 kill team games. I got wrecked by Space Pups twice in a row. My opponent had a pretty powerful thunderwolf cavalry for his character. Those games unfortunately got me some bad upgrades like Fleet (have it with WAAAGH...I mean BAAAWK) and +1 Initiative (Red Sky is using a power klaw <.<. However, I won my third game against a list of 6 Wraithblades, and fortunately Red Sky got 4 kills, boosting his role to get an awesome +1 Wound to give him 3 Wounds with Eternal Warrior (thanks to the starting special rule).

Finally, while this isn't Kroot, it is another project I decided to do with the rest of my centurion bits.
I decided to make Belial for my Dark Angels. I really think the GW Belial model is really static and boring (and badly painted D: oops) so I made this. I'm pretty happy with him.



I got a couple squads of Carnivores, the Battlewagon, and a new transport to paint up and I want to get those out soon.
Thanks for the comments and support! Means a lot!

Great job on these, can't wait to see what you do for bikers, as well as the painted battle wagon.

Sorry it's been a while, a lot of school work and family issues have come up but I've managed to finish something new.
I present;
The Feral Kroot Biker




Sorry about the grainy pictures, I'm working on it.
I'm pretty happy with the biker, it's exactly how I imagined making it. I have the bits to make a few more, so there will be more to come in the future.
