Dakka Grot

Snikshok, my shoota grot is all painted up.  I think he turned out pretty well.  Since he's basically dressed like a ninja, the model is overall a bit on the dark side, though the bright red of his goggles and scarf, as well as the few bits of skin he has showing help to balance it a bit.

I'm now officially half way through painting my Gretchin Herd, which has turned out to be a rather daunting task.  I do like how the models have turned out so far, so I guess I can't complain.

More Grot Conversions

I managed to get a few more grots ready to go.

This guy is mostly made from the Ork Mek Gun crew, with a nasty spiked wrench club from one of the Poxwalker sets.  The rivet gun in his other hand will probably just count as a slugga.

This is the only grot model that I didn't really convert at all.  He's just built out of some of the bitz from the Mek Gun crew.

This one got his original hand lopped off and a nice slugga pinned on in its place.  He also has one of the more unusual pairs of goggles I came up with during this project.  I guess we'll see how they look after they get painted.  The gears he's standing on are more of the random robotic parts that are all over my desk now.

The final grot is also a fairly simple conversion, mostly just adding a pair of goggles.

With the length of time it's taking me to paint all these grots, these guys might not be painted in time for the campaign.  If I'm lucky, maybe I'll have two of the four ready to go.  I guess we'll see soon enough.

New Recruits

At last, the first batch of new recruits is ready to join my Gorkamorka mob.  As usual, I over-complicated both the models and their bases, so it took me quite a while to get these three painted up.  Still, I'm quite pleased with how they turned out.

Zhak's cogwheel club turned out quite well, as did his goggles.  I'm also quite pleased with the color scheme for their skin, which was one of the reasons I decided to paint him first.

This guy started off with few conversions and a pretty simple base, but he got one of the more involved paint jobs.  I quite like how the patterns turned out, so I might use them again on some of my other grots.

The Poxwalker club on this guy turned out great, but paint-wise, I think my favorite part of this model is just how well his t-shirt turned out.  Just a really nice shade of grey.

So I've finally got the beginnings of a grot herd for my Morkers.  We'll see how many more models I can get finished in time for the next campaign.
