[Bjorn Firewalker]

Good job on Dok Kutta.

This is my favourite thread in ages!

Oh my...doc cutta... I would want to avoid getting hurt while out on mission with him ...!?! “I’m fine!, it’s just a scratch...ooohhh urk, no really I’m ok”
I like the use of the Scion med kit and the syringes are an awesome addition.

Cheers, Mithril

Burna is the team's Demolitions grot, and the final Specialist.  This was a relatively simple kitbash, taking a Grot Oiler from the Meganobz kit and combining his grease gun with a hand flamer from the Cawdor Gang from Necromunda.

Looking great!

So that’s all of the specialists done (10-11?) How many more standard grots are going to be fielded in this “Elite” killteam ?!..

 

Cheers, Mithril

[CommodusXIII]

Oh, it's not quite full yet.

 

 

Here are four typical members of the Grotlitariat - Stabba, Slugga, Stubba, and Snubba.  All were pulled together from the Gretchin kit, with a few added hits here and there.  Stubba, in particular, managed to loot some additional head protection.

[CommodusXIII]

 

Next up are the team's Ammo Runts:  Squib (top), and Dakka and Dragga (bottom).  Squib is a standard Gretchin with the Big Shoota backpack from the Ork Boyz box.  Dakka is from the Ork Lootas box, strapped to the back of another of Forge World's Gretchin Crew.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

I presume Dakka and Dragga took inspiration from Master and Blaster, from Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome?

[CommodusXIII]

They actually started as a "two grots in a trenchcoat" concept and evolved into this.  The shell-dragging grot from the Forge World set was just too good to pass up.

 

 

Today's top performer is Twitch, now more calculator watch than grot.  The body, rivet gun, and battery are from the Mek Gunz kit.  The cybork arm is from another of Kromlech's Goblin Scrap Tank Commanders, the head is from the Shokkjump Dragsta, and the backpack is from the Ork Lootas box.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Good job on Twitch.

Are you trying to steal all my ideas?!

[CommodusXIII]

 

"For when you absolutely have to move 5+d6 inches as fast as you can."  The Grotgiteer is best when Advancing every turn, using a scatter die to interpret the will of Mork, and waving the model around while making rocket noises.  The body is from the Ork Stormboyz kit and the head is from an Ork Wazbom Blastajet/Bommer.  The model is cinematically suspended using an Assault Rocket Pack Smoke Trail from Figure Painters.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Great job on the Grotgiteer

[space wolf]

So...I love this! You have captured my favorite aspect of Orks. "We're ridiculous, but don't mess with us, cuz you might just get embarrassed.". ...it's kinda like challenging Prince to a basketball game, if you catch my reference...anyway lovely work. 'Ere we go!

That Grotgiteer is inspired!!!

Those guys are looking great. Keep it weird.

[Zebulon]

Love all this - terrific little tearaways!

[CommodusXIII]

 

As this project winds down, the next addition is the Banna Wava.  I took Makari, replaced his head with one from the Deffkilla Wartrike, and replaced his bosspole with a banner from the OOP Orc Warboss sprue.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Good job on the Banna Wava. Whose skull is on his banner? A rival Warboss who died at your kill team leader's hands?

[CommodusXIII]

It has something to do with the propaganda poster on Loudgob's base, which roughly reads, "Grots are not the property of the nobility".

[Bryan Blaire]

Commodus, every single piece of your posted work in this is absolutely, amazingly fantastic - I ran out of Likes in your thread alone and wish I'd been following it from the beginning. Sooooooo many awesome Grots from the Grotlitariat!

[Bjorn Firewalker]

It has something to do with the propaganda poster on Loudgob's base, which roughly reads, "Grots are not the property of the nobility".

Communist grots launching a revolution against Ork tyranny?! Assuming the Tau don't offer support (why would the blue blighters trust the grots to NOT eventually attack them, the way Orks did?) they should run and hide, or it won't be long before the Orks beat them down and then eat the poor grots.

[CommodusXIII]

 

The final member of this Kill Team is, of course, the Red Gobbo himself.  I made some effort to de-Christmas him, removing his beard and replacing his tree topper with a more appropriate sickle from North Star Military Figures' Frostgrave Cultists set.

 

 

With that, this little distraction has come to a conclusion.  Glory awaits on the 22x30!

[Scribe]

Congrats on all of this. Awesome job.

Thank you for sharing the krew with us, really good fun!
