lol, have to love kanz ^^

But i love them all

The new grots don't look very poseable to me,
Id mix them with metals (pick some up before they go oop!)!

There is a couple pics in this thread that show them on the sprue and also painted.

darn. weapon swaps will be easy, but yes most of them don't look very poseable

I like the metal grots, really. They have a lot of character. Fantasy goblins look a little wierd because of their spear holding pose. Gnoblars look okay, although the head look a little strange for grots. They also don't come with any bits, or options to make them look different, although their stock poses are a lot of fun.

Agreed. Theyre just so crisply cast, little runty models packed full of charm.

Just me or does GW seem to be going back to the ways of 1-pose only plastics after their turnaround with the space marines of 3rd edition?

that being said, plastic is better of rearanging and reposing posed to metal which is hard to repose

Good point, but a metal model feels so much nicer in your hand, so much more nicely cast too

ohwell, plastic sprues are easier to modify - otherwise gnoblars should do the trick.

why bother, with grots on the way just wait until new year.

Besides grots are of limited value anyway. Kanon teams work and they are nice to add to miniatures but I am not in any hurry for grot mobz. Though I do admit having one would be nice.

well that may have been true 5 years ago, but now isn't really as true. Plastic models now are very close if not as good as metal models in terms of detail. Couple that with how easy they are to work with and maintain (next to no paint chipping or breaking) and you have a recipe for less metal models and more and more plastics

Mind you I love my metal models, I have 400+ of the Tallarn Guard models, that makes a figure case feel heavy for sure

Sweet grots (gretchin? are these interchangeable? Gosh it's been too long) Captain Vyper!

Nothing like seeing a bunch of them painted up to make a believer out of somebody

Wow.

Yeah, that one is gonna be expensive no matter how you look at it.

im gonna 1000000000 boxes zomg

You serious? A grot army.

You know that you will spend a lot of money a lot of time and lose horribly. Your choice but just a little voice of reason to encourage you to go easy on the grots.

I love them and am tempted to get a unit, but that is all.

orlanth, the games not just for competing.
its aso ment to be fun.
i need an army i can play about with, so i figured loads of grots will have the desired effect.

180 grotz as troop.
either 9 kanz or 9 big gunz as heavy, then ill convert some grot fighta bomba's for use as deffkoptas.
just a nice relaxing project, and grotz take about 1/4 of the time to paint than a normal boy does.
