Really orky shapped tanks going on there!
Personally I like to overload the vehicles with ork parts and fixes from the mecanics to give a more over-the-top orky feeling.
Exited to see them painted!

Nice work on the Grot-tanks . I just saw the other day that some 40K fan modified the 3d printed Benchy (test model for 3d printers that looks like an old tug boat) into a Grot tank complete with tracks and multiple weapons options.

Hey there Theo! That is nice to hear about the boat being tankified by grots! Quite inventive in fact!

I do have more images to share of the chibi tonks

Feast your eyes on this Pz-38 grot tank

[/img]

[/img]


And here is the first heavy, the KV-2 based beast
[/img]

[/img]

[/img]

[/img]

both of these will also need some color scheme ideas

Here I go again! here is the primered T-34 grot tank
[/img]

[/img]

[/img]

[/img]


And not to be left out and outdone, the Chunky=monkey of a tgank, that Porseche style brick of a tank.
[/img]

[/img]

[/img]

[/img]

It is a big bit of kit! it is about the same size as a chimera model in width and length, just taller.

Love this project! Meng Toons as Grot tanks are an excellent choice, I can say from experience.

I mean, look at them, chibi versions of WW2 tanks, what is not at the base of them as Grot-like? the Commanders are all Kromlech Grot-tank crew picks.

Here is the biggest, meanest of the grot tanks.

[/img]

[/img]


But this is a on-going project

Not just tanks, but I bring my take on Chaksa, I named then Selachii as they do show aspects of sharks, but they walk the land. Upraised to use the modern gear and weapons handed to them by the species that altered them to be good powerful and loyal shock-troops.

Group

part of the team with their weapons, and attitudes

Quite a lot of work to show off- you've been busy!

Had to laugh at the first photo- "Orange Sherman"- sounded like a supper club cocktail. (Looks good, though!)

[/img]


Trying to see which are better pics.
[/img]
[/img]

1st batch? or 2nd batch? or both? I will let you guys decide.

Both batches are good, second batch is better.

Nice figures! That's a lot of production to display in one whomp on the page!

here are some more things coming Meer!

Polaris team
[/img]

parts
[/img]
[/img]
[/img]

Bear is assembled, but missing gorget replaced by piece of plastic I cut
[/img]


As can be seen, he dwarfs even a mighty space-shark heavy gunner!
[/img]



But to dwarf many is the mighty Space Dragon!
[/mg]

The bear is new thermo-plastic and it is easy to work with for the most part, Dragon is resin.

I have added to my pile of shame. More Xeodrons and Yu-Jing mechanicals.

No, I actually got him off of E-bay. it is a resin mini with many parts. I have not yet dared put his muzzle feelers/tentacles on.

He would fit in as well with your Samurai themed army.

He is a big enough bear.

You missed all the fun, BUT keep a watch out, I got a gift of a grot panther tank to work on.

Now for working on, my Xeodrons will show just how big t hey are.

Under construction, Legs added.
[/img]


Next to Mr. Bear
[/img]

Decisions made,,,,,
[/img]

[/img]

A Sgt/close combat unit. I gave him the open handed right arm along with the left handed hand cannon
[/img]

Heavy Weapons, so guy on the left handles the heavier firepower, Sgt to our right.
[/mg]

Human for scale
[/img]

As tall as she is, the strapping Ariadne soldier barely makes it to their chest sections!

All great, but the top of the page is special with the tanks. Really nice tanky action.

Back with more images, and as can be seen the Bear can give them a good fight!
[/img]

the humans on the other hand will need to be trickier
[/img]

[/img]

So, they are built, the glue is curing, soon I can ink wash them to show their lines.

Pre-primer ink is heavy, I need to add water to it.

Anyway, with their pal the Anathema
[/img]

with Mr. Bear again.
[/img]


with Mr. Bear's agent/handler
[/img]

with the Ariadne soldier again
[/img]

still deciding on different or same paint scheme as the other 2 I have.

Back with primered xenodroids
[/img]

[/img]

These will like I said, ill have their synth-flesh to show they change to deal with harsher conditions such as higher radiation zones.

Back with altered synth-flesh for radiation resistance.

[/img]

With glowy bits and wash/dry brushing added

Next to do, the armor.

While I have the new Morats, I also have a chibi-Panther to make for the Grot force.
