I picked up a bunch of Space Crusade Grotz up on Ebay ages ago their slightly taller and bigger and may make good Grot Herders......Brilliant stuff If your worried about the Hand held Rokkit Launchers not looking twin linked why not just add another gunner?

Just won 10 MegaNobs on eBay. So I'll be adding MegaGrots. they cost alot of pts but should give the army some bite. I'll probabily arm them with 3xKombiScorchas, 3xKombiRockets and 4xTwinLinkedShootas To max out wound allocation and If I make a WarBoss grot they will count as scoring... I think they'll help with the stompy grot mad mek feel to the army. 10 more power claws! Started painting the buggies today. Panic...

yeah, Ok I've ignored this blog for long enough! But I've been busy, I've replaced the unpainted metal kans and Dread with new plastic ones... the mixture of 3metal/6plastic Kans and 1metal/1plastic dreds give the army a more shambolic and varied look, these are built, photos to follow. So I'm bringing this army to a tourney next month, so I think this blog should recieve a little more love. I have a deadline of three weeks to bring this army up to 1000pts so Today I managed to finnish some stuff! First up is the new Big Mek with Kustom Force Field.  He is using the old MEks Kustom Force Field... not sure if I'm going to rebuild the tau suit bigmek??

I've finished the first 5 MegaGits, grots in Tactical DredGrot Armour! these guys provide a tough unit for the mek to hide in. Made from MegaNobs (obviously) with a imperial tank track 'front hatch', A plastic grot head and then the shoulders are made out of greestuff. pretty simple but I like it!      HQ Unit altogether.  Pretty Cool Huh?! Panic...

Mega grots look sweet, although you should do this:
Get the grot-pilot bits from the stormboy box
Trim and glue into place on top of the iron gob
profit!

I need to find a bitz site that sells the Grot extras that most of the ork kits have... I want the grot riggers from the stompa kit, the grot pilot and the grot gunners in the battle wagon etc...
I've checked a few sites but they are always sold out.
I also want a set of the piggy back Gnoblars to convert...

The Stompa grots are great. I could only find them on ebay, though. I want to pick up a set of gnoblar too.
Onto the praise:
Very nice body guard unit. Solid paint job, and I thought you cut the shoulders off! I wouldn't have guessed they are GS.
The Big Mek is great, but it seems like they're missing something on the back platform...

I like the MANZ, they'll add some nice punch to an otherwise fragile army. I also agree with The Good Green: the KFF Mek thingy could use something on the back. Some kind of power source maybe?

Love the Megagitz, especially the smooth integration of the grotz and the paint job. Loathe to critique them given how far along you are with them... but... do the bodies look a bit big for grotz? I'd have thought a second head at stomach level might work, or a larger chest showing (or alluding to) the controls the grot would be using - almost like a walker or lesser killa kan...
Still, they look great and are much further along than my own Ork efforts, so feel free to completely ignore me

Fantastic minis Panic, I love threads with lots of modeling stuff in. Just a thought though have you though of converting FW grot bombs into Deffkoptas, I think it could work quite well, perhaps putting the weapons on the side next to the cockpit. Cheers, Bloodthirster.

Arakasi wrote:...do the bodies look a bit big for grotz?...
Yeah I agree the grots pop out the top a bit too much... kinda looks like they are struggling with the controls etc... My first version had the head lower down where the ork head/ironjaw went, but that left too much space at the top. I've got 5 more MegaGits to do so I'll probabily try dremmeling out the body so the grot is inside the suit, if it looks better I'll think about updating these guys.

I plan to have a extra grot or two there later. but right now i'm just trying to get the list up to 1000pts for the Canterbury tournament. I think i'll magnatise the platform so that extra wargear can be represented. I'm thinking Grot with boss pole. Grot with burna. Grot with a powerclaw type weapon, probabily a mech arm with buzz saw. I think I can manage to get two grots on there without it looking over crowded.

No love for a second head at stomach level then? (Grot in legs and existing grot controlling arms?) I do think the dremmeling out the body to fit the grot inside the suit would look best though... look forward to seeing it!

yeah,
Killa Kans are coming soon... I'm keeping them as my painting reward for getting the buggies and GrotHerders done!
I'll have them done in within the next two weeks.
Small update today, I've almost finished painting the buggies, the crew have been stripped off for painting separately.
They're ment to be desert buggies, but I think I've gone a bit over board with the powders again, so I think I'll paint in the highights again to try and fix them a bit.
Then I'll get on to the crew and GrotHerders.
9 Grot Rocket Buggies, the photo is quite big you can zoom around it if you click on it.
I think they look ramshakle enough, but I think having 4 official models is too many so I may replace one... later...

Today I'm working on the buggies hoping to finish at least 6 of them with crew today.
So here's the first three...
Buggy1
Made from Ork bike and truck wheels. the crows nest is chopped up plastic model railway girders.
Buggy2
Made from a metal Lobba chassy, vindicator intake fan, bike bits, FW grot sponson, truck wheels and plastic model railway girders.
Buggy3
Made from GW buggy with a crows nest made from buggy mud guards, the skull is from the ork bike set... I think..
This buggy will get two more pointless hangers on/crew with guns at a later date...
Group shot! Squadron1
Ok I'm going to start finishing Squadron2 now....
Hopefully I'll update later, before I go to the pub, Good local bands playing there tonight...

Last night and today I finished off another 4 buggies... only 2 to go for the full set complete
Buggy4
Made from GW buggy with a crows nest made from buggy mud guards...
This buggy will get two more pointless hangers on/crew with guns at a later date...
Buggy5
Made from GW buggy with a crows nest made from buggy mud guards, the front bit is from a ork bike...
This buggy will get two more pointless hangers on/crew with guns at a later date...
Buggy6
Made from Ork Bike, bike wheels, truck wheels, Plastic Railway girders and a FW grot sponson for a crows nest...
This buggy may get two more pointless hangers on/crew with guns at a later date... not too sure if they will fit on...
Group shot! Squadron2
And the first from the final squad...
Buggy7
Made from GW buggy with a crows nest made from a FW grot sponson...
This buggy will get two more pointless hangers on/crew with guns at a later date...

Looking good as always! I really like buggy 6, it looks very fast and the bike parts make it look highly maneuvrable as well. Thanks for the info on the grot, I'll have to nick a skorcha from somewhere then... Not all that enthusiastic about the skorcha model, but nothing some plasticard can't fix .
Quick question: why buggies over wartrakks? I went for 2 wartrakks because 1) they looked cool and 2) I felt I'd be going through terrain with them a lot. Did you need the points (it's 45 points on 9 buggies, after all), or do you consider them expendable enough to have them destroyed on a '1' in terrain?
Enjoy the evening in the pub!
