Is this going to be a knight titan?

Yes, my new army project was going to be a Tau Empire Drone Army but with rumors of a codex on a horizon it been put to the sideline and it looks like I'm finishing the grots with something big!

Well, if you need any Tau bits, I've got a fair hunk of junk that would be put to better use in Grot stuff!

Tau Drone army as in
a Tau army where you try and use only drones as the core?
Or is it like this Grot project where instead you are making a Tau army out of Drone and Drone-inspired Models?

The later, here's a small teaser for my next project in the form of my Crisis Drone. I was also working on a Tank Drone for my Riptide... well until the Grot Titan parts showed up anyway.

Cannot wait to see kroot!

Proiteus does Tau?! BOOYA!

DRONE EMPIRE

I am excite

- Salvage

All in good time, till then here's a progress photo and the face of my Red Gobbo Mecha, and yes that is a heavy flamer in his mouth, that way he can breathe fire.
.

WAAAAAAAAGGGGHHH!!!
....I mean, my Red Gobbo Mecha is coming on nicely.
.

It looks incredible! Will we get to see some grot riggers and a commander poking out of the hatch too?

Dat look dead'ard Proiteus. Can't wait to see it done.

ARMED AND DANGEROUS!!!
Well my Grot Titan is coming on well! Especially that big ass sawblade!

However magnetizing is proving a complete pain. First the magnets in the upper arm and shoulder weren't strong enough so I placed a strong magnet to link the two, problem now is due to the weight of the saw weapon they swivel around.
So I'll likely glue them into place and just magnetize the head instead so I can place the torso down in 3" tray in my army case. Just hope the magnets hold the torso into place!

Well, could add some piston-y gubbinz that slide together when you add the arm to help hold it in place, effectively pinning it.

Nice work, sir.

The rebelión is looking amazing as ever. The new units just keep getting cooler!!

BIGGA IS BETTAH!!!!
It's finished the Grot Knight titan and it is glorious!!! However alternative angles will have to wait as the legs are blu-taced at the moment which means due to the weight of the torso I can't really photograph any angles without the model falling apart.
Still not sure on an actual name at the moment? I'm thinking "Da Red Gobbo" mecha! Can't wait to get it painted and based should be a fun way to end my work with the grots (for the moment that is).
.

I see you used my piston idea - it looks great!

Da Black Gobbonator or Black Gobbo in tribute to the old web-azine spinoff of White Dwarf.

Awesome work! It truly looks like a bunch of scrap that the grots put together into a deadly killing machine

A BRAND NEW PROJECT!!!
I've managed to escape from the grotz at last! I'm starting work on a new project which you can find the log for below...



But it won't receive my full attention till the Red Gobbo Mecha is complete, which is currently chillin on my hobby station.
.

Looking forward to the "new wave" of conversions!

BUILDIN A LANDING PAD OR A TELEPORTA... I DUNNO?!?
I making me self a bit of terrain for my Armies On Parade board at first I was going to make it a teleporta platform with 3 tesla coils but feel mounting it on the lower half of a bastion and turning into a landing pad will give the board more depth. I'm very pleased with the laser cutting work I comissioned and look forward to seeing it some more plates and detailing before the final paint job.

What do think? Also where should I put it on the hill or on the right?
.

I've just read through this thread and I'm thoroughly impressed! It's clear you have a lot of love for this army, and that passion really shows in the models. The Squig hopper suits are particularly inspired!

Hill is too small, so right. (Unless you put it on hill and put like, pillar supports under it. Maybe?)

I actually like it better on the hill, if you added a few bits to the edge of the landing pad to help it blend in a bit more to the hill.

QUIK UPDATE
Well I've got till the 24th to complete my Red Gobbo Mecha and Landing Pad, the first of which is progressing nicely as I've just finished the touches on the head. Now all that's left is the main body and arms, plus the base which I can't do till the legs are assembled.
.

Excellent work.

Your work is truly outstanding on all levels. I think my favorite part is trying to figure out what you have actually added to the model once it has been painted as your additions are very seemless and look like it's actually suppose to be there.

GROT NITE TEEZE!
The Red Gobbo is nearly ready, just a few more touch ups and the base to go. Till then have a look at my Ubersaw; ready to cut through Orks like a hot knife through... well anything really.

Love the blending on the blades Proiteus.

BEHOLD THE RED GOBBO!
I felt I needed to finish of this project with something big! The colossal gas spewing poisonous squig was a nice idea but I decided to keep with something that would fit right in with the rest of the army; a mechanical giant, a Knight Titan and here it is!!!
To help better represent the massive saw being a destroyer weapon I decided it be cool to have the blades glowing red hot with a flamer built into the arm heating it. There is also a flamer in the mouth cause what Grot Mek wouldn’t want his creation breathing fire.
