Ok, I was hesitant at first, but that tank looks positively groty! Are you going to add details to the belly of the beast?
I like the walker too. The cockpit looks surprisingly detailed. The red bumper looks like the chin on a Rock'em Sock'em robot.

this is now my favorite army.... ever

those are looking dope! please show more, can you send more comics?

maybe add actual squids thruout the army, i think that would be fun.

Grot Ninja No.3
Well thats the 3rd and final grot ninja completed just 1 more to go and that will be all my objectives completed.



As I mentioned before these guys are the rebellion scouts they find the enemy and call in the main force. I enjoyed doing a base with a some life compared to my usual dry deserts and ruins.

Whether the grot ninjas return in the future to fight for the rebellion (with the exception of grothopper representing marbo) will depend on if any good assassin units are featured in the rumored codex Inquisition.

GROT NINJA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 (again)
I'd Love to see you make a fullsize graphic novel of your grot rebellion my friends a pulisher so if your interested just PM me.

Then your wait is over

A Grotwork Orange anyone?
I totally love this army, damn sure i've expressed this before, keep it up man, you're an inspration to Grotz everywhere

The Squig Tank
Behold the Squig Tank! As you can see it represents a sentinel prefectly and features a jetback so that it can leap like a squig (a suggestion by my local GW store manager).



I plan to make 3 in total so I can tweak my army list, one of which will be launching itself into the air, the other will have horns.

Someone commented on how they look like tie-fighters and suggested I make a squadron of 3 and use it as a vendetta lol. But that should a little too crazy even for me.

Da Air Strika & Krew
Along with the squig tank I also completed all of the Air Strika's crew, quite a lot going on around this tank.
Because the Manticore only has 4 shots rather than keeping a dice or token besides it I'll remove one of the crew. After the last shot Gazza himself will be removed; taking shelter within the tank after his job is done.



Da Ead Mek: Gazza Stripbolt
Another hero of the rebellion is miniaturized originally he was going to be just a night goblin with a few tweaks controlling the Air Strika Tank. However my friend Matthew Green saw Gazza from the comic and requested that I let him make him, and he did a fantastic job!



So much so I made Gazza removable from his controls on the air strika tank so I can have him replace Colonel Grotsnik and have him lead the army with his assistant 'stubbs' (the one with the wretch) replacing the ammo runt.

Not sure what coming next since I'm still waiting for parts to arrive, perhaps the gunship?

Heres the third page of the comic. All 3 characters are being made into miniatures and you may notice the which one has been made from my previous post.

This is hardcore!

hahaha! love that comic, and love the new models, keep them coming please!

Awesome work!

I dont know if these would fit your theme http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/GROT-TANKS.html

But they might add a few more ideas to your already brilliant army

I've had about 10 people suggest those to the point when it's very annoying now.

Anyway NINJA TIME!

Gorkil Nightrunna
Given how the other comic characters looked thanks to help from my friends Matthew and Alex, plus how the other ninjas had come out. I thought it was a good idea to go back and completely redo the assassin grot Grothopper
He now has a much better name and cooler weapons such as the remote 'boomer bugger' which counts as a demo charge.


"Gorkil iz da best grot in da rebellion next to da colonel, da boss gives im a mission and i'll do it without fail.
He's always getting new gear like iz remote 'boomer buggy' and 'Rippa Pistol' though he does love iz 'slicer'.
Sum say he once took down a whole mob of ork kommandos one by one and dat he blew up an ork stompa.
All we know iz he da numbur 1 ninja!"

Damn, beaten to the clockwork orange reference...


anyhoo, I like these but could we have some size comparisons? I wanna see what using cadian torsos does to grots

Sorry man :')
Great work still, I forgot to subscribe to this before, i have now

Wow, there's so much to love here that I can't really pick out individual things! I made a tech grot in my warband holding a drill in the same way as you did though, which is cool. I'm guessing that's a real drill bit?

Man I love this army, so much old school grot love...

Pure brilliance. I'll be watching this one for whatever insane (and brilliant) ideas appear next!

By the way, here'sthe mechanick of my grots who carries a drill like yours. I don't actually run them as grots for 40k, they're goblins for a skirmish game I was trying to come up with. Though the whole concept stole a lot from GW's rebel grots haha!
The difference was that they were a lot more intelligent than GW's goblins and grots. More like the goblins in WoW but less comical and more grimdark. Basically they've been slaves for years and years and now they're p***ed off!

"Buldin A Doom-Vee Boss!"
Well all the bits for the doom-vee finally arrived on friday so I slapped one together with blue-tac for a preview.



First I'll say is the thing's a monster it's 4 inches wide, so I look forward to scaring my opponent by driving 5 of them across the board.

I had originally wanted to have windows that had raised borders, plus a small boarder for the wheels as well. (See da attached planz)
However the smaller parts are too rough around the edges and you need to cut at it with a knife to smooth it down, but that makes it even smaller. So I've decided to add just bolts to the wheel around the shield.

The windows however were a bit more of a challenge I had thought to use mesh but there is no space above the window due to the leman russ hull to glue it down. But after an hour of rummaging though my bits box I found a solution.
After buying two ‘Aegis Defence Line’ sets for the dakka tank’s autocannon turret I had a lot of barricades so I cut the window out and slapped it behind the hull. It was a damn near perfect fit.

One question I will ask is how should I detail the shields on the wheels paint the star or a skull? Because that skull is far too detailed for a grot tank.

Also for those who were with me at the start of the log and suggested names for the doom-vees to be labeled on the front plates, here are the winners...

Any suggestions for the command doom-vee?

Now I just need to get all the grot crews painted up and I can paint up the first doom-vee.

Those are some very cool Grots. I really like the characters and your conversions are awesome.

As for a name what about:

"Lock 'n' Loada"
"Mean Machine"
"Rebellious"

This is pure awesomenesscopter

Viva Da Grotlushun

I laughed so hard that i started to literally drool.

Allaround this is the best army ive seen.

You make me sad that i didnt think of this!
