I had a whole slew of those guys way back when, in that color scheme too if i remember correctly.

I miss em now... haha

**djones520**

Love the work. Second Edition orks were always the best.

**A Black Ram**

I had so many of these, my word. Painting the same thing over, and over, and over, and over,and over, and over, and over, and over and over again!

**JOHIRA**

I salute your patience!

**fasterthanlight**

OMG i forgot all about these fellas. Blast from the past.

I still hate orks though.

FTL

**Luco**

Nicely done, nice and clean. Impressed with the bases, multicolored leaves on the one it looks like.

**vonjankmon**

These guys bring back good memories. Very nicely painted too, the bases are ace.

**weetyskemian44**

I stepped on one of these once with no shoes on - Owwwee

**neil101**

Great basing , what is it carpet?

**cosmic pixie**

I loved these models back in 2nd ed. How long did it take you to paint all of those?

**WanderingFool**

Thanks for all of the positive replies! To answer a couple of questions, it took me about 2-2.5 weeks to do these guys ( maybe 4 or 5 days here and there where I didn't have time, but from start to finish that's about right). My goff ors took me about 3.5 weeks to do.
The bases are made of sand, small stones, and static gras, all painted.

Thanks, and 120? holy. I have 104 Grots now. 60 or so of these guys, 30 new ones, and a handful of old metal ones. I don't think I am ever going to field all of them at once, but if I do, watch out 'umies!

**Rayvon**

Never ever did i manage to paint even half that many !!

+1

The older stuff has a certain nostalgic charm, but lets not get crazy...

However i think some of the most recent ork stuff is a little overdone. I prefer the previous "walking can" deff dreads to the new deff dread which is too busy and OTT foe my liking, so I can relate to people's liking some of the older models, etc.

**Emperors_Champion**

Nice bit of old skool! Good work!

As for stepping on these guys, that was nothing compared to when you stepped on one of the 2nd Ed orks! Bloody spikey helmets!

I remember my brother killing my Termie squad with a bunch of these! Which isn't good seen as the Termie save was 3+ on 2d6!

**deejaybainbridge**

Great stuff, an orky friend of mine has about 40 of these still in plastic, this should be some encouragement to get them painted up.

**odinsgrandson**

Brings back memories.

I've got a bunch of those too. Back in '93 I think I painted up one or two of them.

Here is another mob of those same looking grots. With a different paint scheme. A little more incentive?

**The_Stormrider**

Man I give credit where it's due. That's alot of patience to paint that many mono-pose models. Takes me back to the horror of painting all my AoBR marines. Great work.
