^This.

Awesome idea. I'll be watching this one.

Looking great, there's always room in the world for more grot rebellion armies :p

Is it just me or do those psykers remind you of moogles from final fantasy?

Looking good! I feel the medusa is still a tad stubby, but that's personal prefernce I guess . And I simply love the way your chimeras look!

Great work

Thanks, I'm not into FF so had to google Moogles, and indeed they do share some resemblance.

nothing wrong with personal taste, I like this better I'm more than happy with how the Chimera's turned out, can't wait for the last two hulls to arrive so I can start building the last Chimera's

Thanks, I keep on smilling myself when I look at the Weirdlings

So after a rough week, (personal stuff I wont bore you guys with) an UPDATE!!! yeaaaaaaaaaah update! update! update!

So Melta guns and grots.... I did not had enough melta guns, and decided to keep the onces I have for my marines. (that and they are 5USD a piece at bitstores) So I did some tinkering and came up with this. (total cost 10USD for 9 "meltas")







Still need a Grot name for the weapon, suggestions?

Then the Commander, I wanted him to have both arms behind his back, but found it difficult to make it happen, (Never sculpted arms) and didn't want to start doing that now (got a necromunda gang waiting for the honours)
So I decided to go for one arm behind his back and a swagger stick in the other.





He still requires some GS work.

And last but not least some sort of a group shot


And for those who are wondering what I did with the bases

I cut up several Applause 1995 Borg Cubes

Thanks for looking,

Cheers,

Bra'tac

Looking good, the commander is looking suitably impressive! For the counts-as-melta: a melta-zappa? Still makes it clear what it is, which is pretty important IMO when doing counts-as.

The melta looks pretty cool. I would also vote for something zap based. Micro-zappa? Micro Electrical Lightning Target Arrestor?

Lovin the group shot and mister zappy, its really coming along!

I love the commander and the grot-prod melta gun is awesome. The group shot is cool too. I like what you 're doing with the battle wagon cabs.

This is awesome! And I second the "melta-zappa" for the counts as melta.

Rebel Grots make me happy. Make sure you check out CommisarKhaine and Proiteus' threads, they are both incredible!

Would the Orky name be too confusing? Kustom Megablasta (or perhaps just Megablasta? Megagrotblasta?)

Very nice conversions. I will be watching. Love the general.

I really like where this is going I cant wait to see more wacky grot vehicles and mecha and the like! Keep up the good work!

This is dead cool, would you think that you could add this to an ork army or would you have to be playing Apoc for that to happen?

On my army list it's listed as a Meltagun, just to keep things clear for my oponents. but Fluff wise I want to add a weapon profile of somesort in my army list/story book thingie, And wanted a good name for that, I like Melta-Zappa but prefer something really grot/ork So i'm looking for something other than Melta, something that does not already exist I can be very difficult

Flinty wrote:The melta looks pretty cool. I would also vote for something zap based. Micro-zappa? Micro Electrical Lightning Target Arrestor?

Hmm, that gave me an Idea Tactical Eelektrik Zag Zappa or short T.E.Z.Z Gun

Still considering Melta-zappa

I was inspired by Proiteus' grots, His grot build gave me the idea how I could build grots without using the standard ones, and I'm following Mr Khaine's log as well, can't have enough Grot Logs/Blogs If I can't think of it myself, I got to loot ideas from somewhere

Arakasi wrote:Would the Orky name be too confusing? Kustom Megablasta (or perhaps just Megablasta? Megagrotblasta?)

It would not be too confusing, it's just that it already exists and is named by Orks, And I want something special for my rebels

Thanks, Hopefully an update Next Monday with "new stuff", waiting for the bits/boxes too arrive.
I ordered the last bits/boxes last week (25th) from the US and the UK, when they arrive I should have everything I need to finish the army.

Thanks, I think the Medusa's and the Chimera's could function as looted vehicles, but I think that most will only fit when playing APOC, I don't mind though gives me a reason to build a Grot version of a baneblade and other APOC IG vehicles .....damnit now I want to play APOC!!


So hopefully and update on Monday (depends on the beer consumption while watching the SuperBowl Sunday Night )

So what do you think of Tactical Eelektrik Zag Zappa or short T.E.Z.Z Gun??

bra'tac wrote:It would not be too confusing, it's just that it already exists and is named by Orks, And I want something special for my rebels

Whoops - my misunderstanding then! How about Ork-slagga then?

bra'tac wrote:So what do you think of Tactical Eelektrik Zag Zappa or short T.E.Z.Z Gun??

Should be "Taktikal Elektrik Zag Zappa", but otherwise I like it!

Taktikal Elektrik Zag Zappa!!! Thanks still practising my Grot/Ork writting/speech ;-)

And then an update

Tired of waiting for the boxes/bits to arrive I sort of FLEW to the GW in Amsterdam saturday after work and got myself a Manticore (swapped 2 of 4 hydra's for the manticore in my list), started building Saturday and ended up with this.





Track detail right

Track details left

Still have to rivet the right track suspension and the rest of the Manticore.

today at around 5pm my neighbour rang the doorbel and gave me this


4.5 hours later I ended up with this concept







On the last pic I noticed the engines where a bit of, so I took one engine of and corrected that.
Hopefull I will be able to continue to work on the Vendetta tomorrow

Here are some pics of the Chimera's with track suspension

Chimera 2 left

Chimera 2 right

Chimera 1 Suspension

So That's it for today, hopefully some new pics tomorrow, with the Handgunner boxes I can start working on the "lasguns" so maybe some pics of that this week :-)

Thanks for looking

Cheers

Valk meets Sormraven? Looking good, curious to see how it will evolve!

Thanks Khaine, great work on your truck btw.
[edit] I might redo them one day with Stormravens to get the squig airforce feeling a bit more ;-)



So I got a bit distracted by building and forgot to take pics, when I turned the camera on this morning the battery icon was blinking.... So I decided to take some "group shots" and then charge the camare so I can take some detailed pics later.

At this point everything in the army is build "more or less" I'm currently working on the troops as they require a lot of GS, yesterday Iv'e build the first two Veterans with Lasguns they are awaiting their backpacks which still have to be done.... more pics when the camera is charged.

So on to the pics.


INFANTRY!!!



and their transports



ANTI AIR!!!



and their errrr targets...



I'm of too combine yellow and blue to make green and stuff that on some models:shifty:

Thanks for looking

Cheers

Looking good, especially the hydras - I reall like what you did with those!

What Khaine said. Those look like great grot gargants.

I have been thinking about building a Bigger version of the Hydra/Dakkabot, Maybe one day I shall build a true Grot Great Gargant


Here's a little update on the Infantry

I'm almost done (took me 3 days "got distracted by killing Sjeit Loads of zombies playing Dead Rising 2") First Vet squad all have back packs, need to clue the Power cable on most of them, Second Vet squad still require some GS and their backpacks, Com squad some minor GS and Backpacks

Currently waiting for the glue to dry on the second Vet squad and working on finishing the PBS at the moment.

Here are the pics

Vet squad 1
