Gunner Runt

The next converted grot for my Morker Mob is ready.  This is Snikshok, the most heavily armed of my space gobbos, armed to da teef with both a shoota and choppa.  He's also the most heavily converted of the bunch.  His torso is the ammo runt from the Lootas sprue, while his bottom half is from one of the Night Goblins from Battle for Skull Pass.  His head is just one of the standard Gretchin heads, with some goggles added.

I actually ended up chopping his hand off and pinning it back on so that I could reposition his shoota a bit.  It was a bit of a hassle, since I already had to pin his waist together, but I think it was worth it.  I'm quite pleased with the overall composition.

I ended up making greenstuff robes to make his top half match his bottom.  I also made a bit of a scabbard to strap his choppa to his back.  As with the rest of my mob, his desert base is going to end up more scrap than sand, but at least he will match the others.

Four grots down, four to go...

Space Goblins

Things have been a little crazy lately, so I'm a bit behind on my work for the new campaign.  I did, however, finally get a chance to start converting some grots so I can justify taking my dapper runtherd.

This is Zhak, the first of my converted Gretchin.  Since my Morker Mob is mostly a bunch of crazy Spanner Boyz, I decided I'd keep the mechanic theme going through my grots as well.  I decided to give this guy a nice Cogwheel Club, using some robotics parts I got from China.  I also decided that furry loincloths looked a bit out of place in my mob (furry outfits seems to be more of a Digga fashion statement, unbecoming of a sophisticated ork mob), so I converted it into a simple cloth affair.

Twik here got the same treatment with a greenstuff loincloth and a pair of goggles.  As you might have noticed, I went through several iterations with my goggle making.  I got much better as I went on, but a few of my early attempts, like these, actually turned out rather nice, so I ended up using them after all.  I actually chopped this guy's hand off accidentally (one of the hazards of trying to convert a bunch of grots at once) and had to pin it back on.  Fortunately, you can't really tell, which I guess is as much as you could hope for with pinning.

Finally, we have Krik, who is the example to the rest of the mob as to why you always wear your goggles.  His left hand is from the new Poxwalker set, which happens to be mostly armed with nasty looking pieces of scrap, which work perfectly for Gorkamorka, though only a few have normal five-fingered hands like this one.

Anyway, that's all for now, but more grots are coming soon.
