For a local, low competition event this year I'm doing an all Grots mechanized force. All the stuff that's not a Grot will have Grot pilots. Pretty heavy on kitbash/converted/proxy, the only GW stuff is current Gretchen for pilots and 30,second Ed starter box monopose Gretchen for troops. My "Kloned Kommandos"
List is all the things that sounded fun to build:
2 Mekka Dreads (from Gundams)
12 Grot tanks (half scratch, half dollar store tank)
3 Chinorks (the helicopters from Dust Tactics that we're on super discount)
2 BigMeks (Noodling on how to make Mek sized Grots)
Big Trakk with supa scorcha ( half discount Dust tractor, half scratch)

Been having a blast so far! Did a demo model to test out the paint scheme. Going to up the teal and decrease the blue for final scheme and need to find a better steel color. Really happy with the color and amount of rust though.
Demo for color scheme:

Blocked in Grot tanks, still need detailing.

Blocked in Chinork, still needs detailing.

I've been using nail gems for rivvits and love them! Any suggestions for "must-build" details I need to add? Criticism, critiques?

I love them! I converted my grot tanks from the back half of skorcha trakk and other ork bits like cockpits from dakka jet sprue. What model did you use as base for the chinnork?

Nice work on the vehicles. Really well executed and appropriately grotty.

Thanks!
The Chinorks are based off a Dust Tactics model I picked up from the Miniatures Market clearance bin. Some really great deals in there and the Dust stuff really leands itself to Orky builds.
Was shooting for "Sikorsky and Hind have a chibi baby". Super happy with where they're at so far.
Update pics tonight, have some hobby time scheduled for this evening.

I think for your Grot Meks you should start one of them with "the wrong trousers" from Wallace & Grommit and the other with Bender from Futurama.

Nice work on the scratch builds! Looks like the force is taking shape nicely.

its all so small deadly and adorable

Built up a Grot version of the Big Trakk with Lobba. Trailer has a peg so guns are swappable. Still needs detailing but mostly done.
