This is great. One thing I always wanted to do was build an army of Grots, but I never went through with it. I may have to steal your idea...

From the pictures I can't tell the difference, I'm well impressed with the paint job on the new models, it's looking pretty good.

yeah,
With the new codex dropping soon, I'm bringing the grots out of retirement!
they will get new toys I'm sure.
But now is the time to make and paint the backlog!
Yesterday i assembled 8x Grot tanks mega dredd and a new boss.
Today I have to detail the grot canons and assemble the battlewagon.
And paint everything!
I have a game tomorrow and only painted units will make it :|
The last game with our 4th edition codex.
Go Go Go Grots!

yeah, thanx So i started to build my battlewagon. I wanted to make a two story tank, so it had some of the short tall charm of the grot wagons.  it started to look a bit like a mork/gorkanaut... I need to decide if it's gonna stay a battle wagon or if I'll make arms for it bigger than the little claw I stuck on there. I was losing too much painting time playing around with bits so i parked it till later. The base coat is on! I only had a small ammount of the grass green i normally undercoat my grots in left. So I undercoated in Army painter ork flesh, and then dusted the models with what was left of the Grass green. hopefully it'll be OK and they match the rest of the army.  Current casting up two rocket arms for the mega dred. Drinking spider tea and then Back to work. Panic...

I think we should still use the old rules: if you can fit it in/on the Battlewagon, it can be transported. How many Grots can you pile on it???

Yay! When are you picking up the codex? Looks like you might be needing some more regular Grots, too, now that Dreds aren't Troops. Multiple CADs!

yeah, Yup.
So I started to strip the old battle wagon, dreads and Kans.
Weeeeeeee mind numbing joy!
Battle wagon has had two 1 hour dips and scrubs.
The metal bits have had 48hrs and the Paint just fell off!
I've ordered plastic combat arms and rocket launchers for the Deff Dreads.
I'll be assembling the mini Kans pretty much as is.

yeah,
Some more prep for the mini Kans build.
Casting resin toes to make the feet a little less 70s scifi!
And rokkit arm mounts to pad the little guys out and so the rokkits are not attached to the Kans face!.
I used a two part silicone putty to make the press molds. It sets in about 5minutes and is good for 10-20 casts
the toes are copies of the metal dreads.
The rocket arm mount will be the shoulder half of the mini claw arms
I used sylmasta G27LV two part resin.
LV is low visocity it's very good at working its way into the nooks of small details...
this stuff has a working time of 2-5 minutes and can be demolded after about 10mins.
before I poured the resin into the arm, I put a magnet and paper clip pin into the mold. embedded magnets and pins FTW!?
Casts came out pretty good.
The feet will either be set up with 3 toes at the front.. or 2 front 1 rear.. or 4 .. I dunno yet..
I'm going to cut the rokkit mount at the end of the box detail.

yeah,
When life gives you lemons... buy more kans.
So Kans got worse.. but you can now take them in squads of 6...
so the new plans is
18 rokkit Kans
15 rokkit Buggies
1250pts.
That leaves 250pts for a KFF mek + troops...
and a little bit more work on the egg kans.
I didn't like the arm magnet join. So I recessed the magnets into the body.
Resin toes have been assembled in the CSM dred toe/foot style.
happy little egg kan
