we need art for them all plus random art plus we need stories for them all plus short funny grot stories and short bits of grot info.

Anyone who helps will have there name mentioned in the codex.

As had so many people ask for the codex as it stands now thought i would put up a link to a pdf file with it in.

Subscribed on account of this being my project as well

This jumped into my mind:

Pile on!

A unit of at least 15 grots automatically wounds, in close combat, on 6s regardless of toughness.

not a bad idea i think a bit of play testing will be needed with a strength of 2 grots are going to struggle in close combat.

As of yet we have found kan armies are quite good but regualr grots although can dish out some firepower die very easily. We have game them a rule similar to stealth to try and keep them alive a bit longer.

Your codex needs special characters... I took the liberty of making one, hope you like it

Glubsmuk, leader of the grot rebellion.......130pts

Ws: 3 Bs: 5 S: 3 T: 3 W: 3 LD: 9 SV: 4+
special rules:
Leeda of the revulushin:
Grots see Glubsmuk as a glimmering beacon for hope. They follow Glubsmuk's every order for they know his tactics will not fail them. As a result any grot within 18 inches are treated as fearless, also if any grot falling back enters this radius, they may regroup, even if they are below half strength. If Glubsmuk is removed from play, all grots within 18 inches, regardless of any modifiers or rules.
Equipment:
Freedom's fury:
A grot shoota supposedly forged by Gork himself, for a grot who will lead his kind. If the prophesy is true, The wielder of the gun will free the grots, but at terrible price.Glubsmek is honored to be in possession of the gun, but fears it's danger. As he knows that death will soon be apron him.
S: 5 Ap: 3 Heavy 3, special rules: Rending, master crafted
Grot force armor:
Grants a 4+ save and 4+ invulnerable save.
Will wright fluff soon.

We aleady have Grot Squad Rules

Grotz ......................................................................................................................3pts per model
ws bs s t w I a ld sv
grot 2 3 2 2 1 2 1 5 -

He may also exchange his close combat weapon for
- Poisoned dagger(3+) 5pts - big choppa 5pts
Dedicated transport- may take a dedicated transport

First of, it is the grotz running this thing. So wouldn't they all outfit the troops with a tiny bit of armor? Not even the grot boss?
Anyway it's cool. Which other ones do you not have stats? Or would you rather fluff?

We mainly need fluff and art, but if anyone wants a copy of the rough codex pm me or bloodhorror and im sure we can send you the latest draft.

New rules are welcomed as nothing set in stone yet. Mainly kept armour off as cant see grotz using it but with the tiny rule they all get +1 to there cover saves.

As of yet there is 4 special character in it mentioned in first post if anyone has any weird and wonderful ideas for more we would love to hear them.

we have stats for most now but if you want to see the codex to see if we got things ok let us know.

Let us know DWB if you want a copy of the Codex, and we'll throw you the link for you to have a look over and you can tell us what you reckon to it.

But if we see it on Scrib-d or whatever....

Were comin' for ya

I'm loving the sound of this army but i have an idea for a special character its Arbam skul krusher He is a huge ork warboss that was punished by mad dok Grotsnik. Grotsnik switched arbams brain for a grots but as it is not supposed to be he does not know his own strength and limitations also as the brain was not wired in completely correct he can suffer from random spasms and is not in control of his body. He is extremely unique as for some reason because the grot brain in his body is constantly trying to turn him into the perfect grot ork hybrid he has the transformation special rule. He has the following profile:

225 Points
WS BS S T W I A Ld Sv
Arbam 4 3 6 4 3 3 3 6 4+

Special rules: Transformation, Preferred enemy- orks, Squig master, regeneration

Wargear: choppa, shoota, boss pole
Options: Uge choppa +5 points
Grot claw +35
Upgrade his shoota to a...
Big shoota +5
Skorcha +15
Up to 5 squig bombs + 10 points per squig
* A grot claw is metal claw that is wired to a large power source. Any close combat attacks made with a grot clow ignores armor saves and is rending

Transformation: Because Arbams body is constantly changing at the beginning of every turn roll a d6 on the roll of a one he body makes a change for the worse all his stats are reduced by one (except armor save that goes one up e.g before 4+ sv after 5+) and on a roll of a 6 it is just vice versa.

Squig Master: Arbam is a master squig trainer and handler his attack squig gives him + d3 attacks instead of the usual +1 attack. And any squig bombs within 18" of Arbam automatically run towards the nearest enemy vehicle when released. Also any bomb squigs within 18" if not yet released can be used as an attack squig on a roll of a 6 if the unit they are in is in close combat.

It is just an idea so what do you think? I'll welcome any feedback and i hope you want to use it.

P.s could i have a copy of the codex please?

Me and Bloodhorror had a chat and we definately want to use it i would say give him a fixed weapon loadout.

and maybe 225pts is a bit high but i think its a cool idea. working on a link at moment for codex but if anyone pm's me with e-mail ill send it through to them

Anyone who wants a link nto the codex just ask as we now hae one to the codex as it is now. in pdf.

Obviously this isn't yet completed, but its getting there...

Any help would be muchly appreciated!

You should buff them up a little with errr Cy-Grot Armor making them like a spac e marine or something and making them cost a bit more

Ok codex is coming along nicely we have a guy who is sorting the art out and the layout of the codex. But what we really need now is fluff for the units and short stories and little bits of funny grot sayings and quotes.

If anyone can help we would be really helpful.

Come on Dakkites!

We all love Grots.

The only thing that annoys me about a grot codex is that you can end up with mutli-wound models that are toughness 2, so they get insta-gibbed by bolters..

Also, i'm a decent artist and would love to help, but i'm a bit of a caveman with computers... can someone send me a link on how to send in pics? And where should I send them to?

acually it all look pretty nice, you should make another troop choice called grot lootas, basicly grots with stolen imperial weapons (no bolters, much too wimpy to carry them)
