Recently I got Forgeworld's grot tanks at a very reasonable price, and out of curiosity used them in a grot-centric list as warbuggies in 2 squads of 2, both with shootas. I'll be honest, the list was never going to be tourney quality (6 big gunz and 60 grots in squads of ten) but I wound up winning and despite the pivotal moment being undeniably won by a squadron of 10 grots killing 4 TH/SS in a round of close combat, the buggies had an impressive showing.

They functioned as a flawless distraction against anti-tank and infantry alike, multiple times pulling marine squads out of their cover to be hit by krak kannon shots and drawing the fire of his predator away from the unit of Killa kans that then went ahead and ripped into the scouts managing his aegis line. They also managed to easily make back their tiny points investment in 3 turns of shooting.

I guess the only reason people don't like them is the model is crappy and the force org slot they take up? But now in the era of double force org and hull points they could not be so bad. Any thoughts? Any ideas of alternate things I should run the tanks as?
