Has anyone done this yet? I was strongly considering it..

big mek
6 squads of 30 grots
2 looted wagons
1 battlewagon
5 deff koptas
15 lootas
15 burna boyz

(didnt list wargear, but it all adds up to 2000 exact)

Sound like a stupid list, that'll actually be fun and work?

Lol. I was thinking of doing it.

Don't ya need runtherds ta keep them grots in line?

yeah, 1 for every 10 grots. didnt include them in that list in the OP coz i thought it'd be obvious

Remember you're gonna have to paint 180 gretchin. Is it worth your sanity?

i dunno, the fact that im actually considering spending $220 on 180 gretchin should answer tell you that im probably not all there to begin with!

Ha! Fair dinkum! Good luck with it anyway.

first of all you dont need to paint the models to use them so you can stretch the painting over a long period of time like half a year and secondly:
-1 big mek with kustom force field and power klaw
-3 zzap guns with 1 runtherd, 2 of which have an ammo runt
-3kannons with 1 runtherd, 2 of which have an ammo runt
-30 grots
-30 grots

-3 runtherds with grot prods

TOTAL=1001 POINTS!!
simple winnings!

Have you considered a cybergrot list?

Take grotsnik as a HQ, give all your grots and runtherds cybork bodies, suddenly all your grots have a 5++ and are much harder to kill

Take an aegis as well, and your looking quite tough

Mate of mine did this.

Warboss was that Ork Runtbot thing
Weirdboy was the WFB Goblin Shaman
Dakaa Jets he converted to be piloted by the Grot Gunners
Runtherds were just Cave Squigs
His Lootas were just Guns on bases and piloted by one Grot Remote Gunner !

Just a quick tip: Don't take units of 30 grots, take them in units of 29, this way you only have to buy 2 Runtherds and you can save a whole ten points per unit! That's a fair bit in an Ork army...

13 points, cause of one less grot too
