I originally posted this in General Discussion but figured it was more relevant here.

Ninth edition has given me a large boost in motivation to get armies done for the new edition, and Ive been particulary interested in smaller concept armies just for fun.

A recent idea I had was an army of savage, filthy children, most likely played as Orks (or more likely gretchin/grots). Inspiration for this has come from various sources such as Lord of the Flies, Peter Pan, Battle Royale 2, and Where the Wild Things Are, to name a few.
The most difficult thing however is trying to find models to use as a basis for converting.
Initially I had thoughts on using Age of Sigmar Glommspite Gits with a head swap and human skin tone, and possibly also various cherubs.

Does anyone have any tips or ideas that might help me complete this concept?

Bloodbowl halflings?

Have you seen DeadEyeDuk's "Little Big Heads" conversions? Scroll down for the ones with the halfways 'proportional' heads tho https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/789925.page

Hasslefree do some children although they're more 25mm scale than 28mm.
