A thought...

Look into legos.

I'm not sure about a SIZE comparison, but Lego makes a flat, thin "brick" that looks VERY MUCH like the pieces you made for your wheels.

Just a thought!

Like the look with the 'ard wheels on, tend to agree with Arakasi about a variety, but that's a personal preference really, as your grotz seem to have a bit of mechanicus help may not be to your taste. Also a variety of bits may stop you going crazy whilst constructing 180 identical panels

To be honest I've had so many people comment on how they like the old ones better, they'll be the only set and will go on either the kommand doom-vee or the mobile bunker?

Totally cool army.

I'd use 'em on the mobile bunker, since its job is to soak up enemy munitions it would make logical sense that it have the armor plated wheels, otherwise it'd have 4 flats and be a not-so-mobile bunker after its first engagement.

Yeah, those new wheels, frankly Im unsure.
The idea is grand but the materials may be the betrayer here.
Thinner plates might work better, or maybe running spokes off the plates to give the tire a more armored feel.

Now if all the doomvees had that plate style as it is now, I think it wouldnt be an issue.

“Beold Ma Latiz Kreation!”
I give you ‘Da Mega Lobba!’ When I created the Dakka tank I did mention that they’d be some variants and this is the first one representing a Griffon Mortar.



Originally the Griffon was going to be represented by a simple barrel sticking out of the top that was shown in the first preview, however a Griffon is open topped so I created a new turret using some bits I had in my boxes and an empire steam tank cannon.

Though this tank won’t be making appearances in my full 1500pt armies it will be used for small games in my 600pts ‘Doom Patrol’ list which I use for playing games in GW stores, lets face it using a full mech guard army on a 48X48 board does give you much maneuverability.

Wat ya tink?
I’m considering painting the Command Squad’s Doom-vee black with bronze details, however I have doubts on how good a black tank can look given how I can only highlight, what do you think? Also anyone know any good tutorials for painting black tanks?
On a lesser note should I rename my grot assassin ‘Spookums?’

Looking great as always!

NOW; Does anyone know what I can add to my command doom-vee to make it stand out, cause painting it black isn't an option anymore?

The germans used to fly flags on the command vehicles of their tank colums in large armor engagements like in Africa or Kursk. Perhaps a command standard or small flag flying from the turret?

Since you clearly have the skill, what about graffiti or a mural, depicting the grot's history and/or victories? Failing that, write 'da bosses ride' all over it

A dead ork chained to the front of the vehicle. That make it stand out as the Command Vee.

The graffiti as CK suggested would be pretty cool.

amazing tank!

I love the name "spookums"

The one with the pictures in it.

I think a couple of big ork skullz and iron gobz would send a message to the big green skinz dat must be dur boss cuz its gotz Gobz und skullz lotz of em too..

DATZ OLD SKOOL!
When I was visiting my family last week I popped by my old independent stockist, the guy also sells 2nd hand miniatures and I found 2 of these babies.



For those of you who don’t recognise it’s a Grot Cutta one of the vehicles that the official grot rebellion used in the game Gorkamorka. The 2nd one doesn’t have the mast but for £2 each it was a steal!

At the moment I’m considering rebuilding this one and slapping it up on ebay. True it would look cool in the army but there is nothing for it to represent and it’s too big for an objective?

Congrats on the brilliant find Protieus.

Try and incorporate the second (mastless) cutta onto some terrain or an Apocalypse objective marker.

Brilliant find indeed; couldn't you turn one into a rough rider champion or something? It would be a shame to ditch these on ebay when they're such an iconic part of the grot rebellion history - then again, if you decide to do so, drop me a PM!

You can maybe get a cast of it or sell it to someone you know who know how to cast. It would be for the greater good that the model lives. (I guess it's oop)

you could just stick it on a prominent shelf and wait till its worth a stack. Its really nicely painted and a rare item so it'll appreciate!

although I agree with R-Mountainz if its not for profit... (they could be watching)

Cut one in half and "bury" each half in some ruble for a sweet objective (holy relic?) of terrain. Or you could use them for some rough riders, with plenty of bits and your talent. If you wanted to run rough riders, that it.

Very cool find, at any rate. If you sell it, I hope all the proceeds go to the rebellion, and I hope its a big proceed

Ummm....holy crap this is amazing.
