@storag: That's your first ever model?! Outstanding stuff!
@ monkeytroll: something about your squighound reminds me of a cryx death chicken. Love it.
@thegoodgreen: Pah. Bit of superglue on it, problem solved.

Umm, the legs? Seeing as how they're from a cryx death chicken

But, yeah, hadn't conciously noticed how the rest of the build heads in that direction.

Heh, so now I'm using GW bits to make warmahordes figures

Like BrianCJ's, to my system that image appears as an html, not a jpg... so I can't add you to the article. Perhaps WM can get you set up?

Short of that, could you crop him a bit closer so he fills up more of the picture? Then the link can just be added directly from your gallery.

I'll do a new close up asap!

Yes, my way into the hobby began with this one

Thanks to all who liked him!

Some really good entries to the team!

Gotta say Brian that squig ride is hilarious.

Try this one, Gits:

Here you go Bri, download this and put it in your gallery. Then it can be put up on the article (I can do it if you want).

so... wait, does that one count as a squighound or a grot?

@RSJ: I didn't see yours earlier, some how. That little guy looks very killy for sure!

Go for it, Gits. I'm brainfried and still at work.

OK Brian, you're in!


We now have a LEGAL mob!!! First one in the entire Waaaaagh!

Congratulations everyone!

Well....sort of legal. If you counted the Squigs as grots, and only one of us herders. But still, we are rocking the Waaagh!

My entry is a Squig Hound. There just happens to be a rider.

^

Well, yeah... WM's right... I was counting models, not roles. Need two more grots to be legal. I figure we're "legal" after 10 grots, we herders just have to take turns running the mob until we get our full compliment!

My brother has made a small amount of progress on his Grot, and it should be finished by the end of the week. So that'll bring your total up to 9 Grots.

Don't have my codex with me, but 10 grots+ 3 runtherds is perfectly legal IIRC; I've considered such a unit for anti-dread/MC support, since three grabbasticks = three less attacks . But:two more grots, and we're legal! The grotz iz gonna be furst!

There was some confusion about that initially but I think it's been established by either consensus or by FAQ that it's 1 runtherd per 10 grots... so we have a long way to go to get to our full mob. I considered exactly the same thing (I have 3 herds w/ grabbasticks) but I don't think I can do it.

I've only read through the first 7 pages - but need to go to sleep - so I'll catch up on that later... I just wanted to say that I definitely want to be a part of this mob o' grots. This weekend's going to be a busy one for me, but I'll get a move on during the week! Excellent work so far everyone! Truly inspiring. It's great to look through your galleries as well and check out your other fine creations!

Great to have you aboard NakedBatBoy... looking forward to seeing what you can come up with for your contribution!

Welcome aboard!

Ive made some work on my grot. im not very happy with him but im pleased with his hoverboard. pics soon.

^ Got to give him a choppa. And maybe one foot on fire.
[/Insert 2000AD reference]

One foot on fire?

I'm having a slow day, not getting that bit.

Chopper:Soul On Fire.
Classic 2000AD strip / Judge Dredd antagonist. Future surfer dude.

(leads to, in my head at least)

Choppa: Sole on Fire

I got the chopper bit, but missed the soul of fire

Probably because I think I missed that particular strip somehow. I was trying to rack my memory for an incident of foot-burning in the early appearances as a scrawler

This is awesome. +1

We have a grand collection so far on the first page, looking forward to seeing others added when they are finished.

And only 1 more before the 1st drawing!

Crud, I'm never gonna make the first drawing...oh well, Maybe the second, if we get enough grots!

The plan is to have 3 drawings, even if we run out of steam before we hit the full mark. You will be included in at least 1 of them.

WooHoo! That's good to hear

Just about done adding rivets and all the small details, so I should start painting sometime before spring!
