Another potential entry for "C:Grots". I've really been putting of Grot psykers though... Ah well!

Grots often times gain a facination for the inner workings on looted weapons. So much so, that they spend every second they are not on the battlefield tinkering with anything they managed to scavange. Small bands of these Grots have been spotted as outriders of a Gretchin invasion. Scouting positions, and testing their new "toys" on their unsuspecting opponents. The variety of these weapons is astounding, sometimes being sized down boltguns, with important pieces missing, or lasguns with the setting mashed into a written on "SUPA HI!" mode. Even more freightening are the weapons that Gretchin recovered from the Eldar, which fire shards of rusted metal and odd salvage, a death by one of these is often slow and painful... However, each weapon is fundamentaly the same, a higher power, and a longer range, as well as a highly dangerous removal of essential parts of the weapon. The Grots themselves are generally quite, and, contrary to normal Grots, have a high self-dicipline to remain quite...That is, until the enemy is in their crooked sight...

What do you think? Suggestions?

Looks great, I'd love to use a band of htem. Kinda wimpy though, for 12 points.

I'd suggest giving them the Night Fighting rule?

I'd say lower their points value in this case.

Maybe give them an upgrade for tracers, where if they see an enemy with night fighting, they can fire tracers to reveal them for the rest of the army.

Kinda like a search light.

Thats the purpose of stealth however, giving them a +1 Cover save is nice considering their models are already small and able to claim cover saves easily. A reduction of points to 11 or 9 could be a possiblity, and this is experimental, so any and all are welcome to play test... I will need more supporting a reduction in points to actually do it however.

Dang, I was ninja'd... I'll add tracers... Sounds like a good idea, and represents the fact that the grots use any ammo that fits...

make 'em 10/8 points.
make da snipas AP5.
and i'll be happy to help make the rules for grot psykers. My previous projects include:
Chief librarian
Ursus assault rhino
Vik's steampunk zeppelin
raven guard "monsters" (heresy-era)
PM me.

Looks great, I especially like the "What gunz we usin'" rule
