They're the hardest working little grafters in the galaxy. They load, they rig, they man the big gunz and get pulverised to snot in almost every game. They're the undisputed highlights of manys an ork plastic kit and the unsung heros of da Waaagh!
All hail the Grots!

What can I say; I've grot a lot of love for the little guys.

If you do too then I urge you to go ahead and celebrate their gretchiny goodness with me by adding a picture of your own little green meanies to this thread, and we'll have a fitting tribute to show our grot-itude for all their hard work over the decades.

Adoring comments will do if you have no pics but grot-puns are mandatory.

Here's a snap of my own little motley crew. Such a happy little gang and yet they get smooshed in almost every game!

What a fun thread concept!
Here's my contribution, Lugnib and Grotti:



'2nd edition woz betta!'
'Yooze off yer nut; new fings is more orky!'
*BLAM*
'Maybe yooze right...'
*Faints*

What's a grot party without the Red Gobbo?

In order: a grot, grot warboss, and grot meganob:


grot gunslinger:


random grots:




counts-as runtherd:




Loads more grots in the 'Squeaky waagh!' link in my sig, since I run a grot revolution

The only Grot I've ever painted...

Companion of....

Marlok Brandork.....

A freebooter of no fixed abode, he travels in search of the next big race or the next bigger ruckus. He is equally content in either.

An antisocial, rather grumpy Ork, Marlok likes to consider himself a bit of a loner, joining bigger bands of Orks only for personal gain and perhaps a little excitement.

Throughout his travels he'll offer very little in the way of conversation or even acknowledgement let alone friendship.

However, despite his insistence on solitude, since he left home years ago, he has never ever managed to shake off loyal little Strabla the Gretchin.

Much to his annoyance.

Grot 'crimson monks' band:

Wowza! Some sterling work on display here.
Obviously Lots of love for the grots on Dakka.
Not so much love for Grot-puns though. But maybe that's for the best.

Keep it up Dakkanaughts the Grot Revolution is at hand!

That's a lovely music band

I got more:

Painters are cool, toilet is brilliant. Little plane might get stolen

I sculpted this little bugger for a charity thing back in the day.

I love this thread and every grot in it. my only regrot is that i have nothing my own to share

I love me some grots too. The crimson monks are particularly awesome and those diorama grots also!

Love this little guy!

Love that monowheel bike . Does it count as a warbike?

Har de har har. Rockin' it 2nd ed. style.

These little fellas are the backbone of ork culture.

This is some amazing work!

Here is my effort, it is a rather dull evening in the UK so I had difficultly getting decent lighting on the little buggers!

These look great! I can't add mine yet since I'm away from home, but my little guys would love to join in the fun! Now the question is can the Kanz get in on the fun?

Absolutely!

Here's my Head Honcho for some GoMo rebel grotz I started.

Haha I like the rebel grot! Painting those stripes on his trousers and the decoration on his gun must have been an absolutely rotten experience though with the model being so tiny.

Yeah, that's some nifty freehand work on your Head Honcho. Nice job indeed!

My next instalment of Grot-itude for the little guys is ...
That moment when you're on your thirty somethingth identical 2nd ed. Gretchin mini and you think, "you know what would be cool... A bunch of Original Power Rangers Gretchin!"


And then I'm like, but what about the Green Ranger, and didn't he become the White Ranger? And just to make up a squad of ten, three of Rita's putty-men!


Call me crazy but painting 40 of those things is a feat of mental fortitude.

Here's the collection of grots including plenty of classic 2nd ed. gretchin.

That's one chunky army of gretchin's you got there,must have taken some severe effort too get all them painted,nice work.

Love me some grotz!

I had a picture of my Grot wif da Golden gun but I cant seem to find it. He was the sole survivor of a killteam against Terminators and he even killed one!

Great team of grots there, I'm not sure how any self respecting Ork lets his grot slaves get such swanky gear... maybe he is such a successful Freeboota that he doesn't need that stuff!

I feel like this thread would be at least 50% more popular were it to be called 'Hit me with your best Grot' though...

Duely noted, Kroem, and done!

Points for the first actual grot pun offering.

Also, I've been drawing grots! Will post some doodles soon.

'Eres lookin at you git!
