Grot Tank III

The lunatic product of the deranged imaginations of grot riggers and scavs that have spent far too long basking in the insane genius of the Big Meks, Grots Tanks are diminutive armoured vehicles made to imitate the far larger Ork Wagons and Tanks.

The set contains four different variant chassis, tracks, exhausts and turrets as well as four fantastic Grot Tank Kommandaz and 5 different, incredibly shooty, weapon options.

I picked up a set of Grot Tanks on a recent visit to Warhammer World. After washing the resin, I then looked at the four main bodies and tracks deciding which was going to go with which.

This combination, probably combine my least favourite pieces of the entire set and as a result I put them altogether in one tank. If I was to get a second set, I would probably use this for conversion using parts from the Ork plastic kits. The hull for me is too “tall” whilst the tracks aren’t that bad, they are my least favourite fo the four as they look rather lightweight. I really don’t like the turret which is too Dalek like for me.

One of the problems you can have with Forge World models is that the resin is more brittle than plastic. The sprue lugs are also much “bigger” so as a result is possible to damage the model. As you can see from this close-up of the track, I did manage to snarl up the track.

I don’t think it will show too much, but shows you do need to be careful.

The workbench feature on the Grot Tanks is broken down into four separate features, one for each of the Grot Tanks.

This combination, especially the turret had a very Sherman look to it. I decided to arm it with a Grotzooka.

Imperial Navy Vulture Gunship

Imperial Navy Vulture Gunship from the Forge World displays at GamesDay 2007.

Imperial Navy Vulture Gunship

I do wonder if we would ever see a plastic Vulture, but though I thought we would never see a plastic Valkyrie, I do think it unlikely that we will see a plastic Vulture.

The current Forge World kit, which use to be 100% resin, now combines resin parts with sprues from the plastic Valkyrie kit.

Building more of the Kill Bursta

Forge World’s big Ork tank mounts a huge gun ready to take on any Imperial BaneBlade or even Titan.

Having fixed the sides, the next stage was the top of the superstructure and the turrets.

The engine was added to the rear.

The main armament was added to the front. This was another piece that I thought didn’t fit too well.

Still one mean looking Ork warmachine.

Having built the chassis, the next stage was the superstructure. This didn’t quite fit as well as I thought it should.

There were a fair few gaps. However with a model such as this, the gaps were less obvious than would be on an Imperial model.

After fitting the sides, the Doza Blade was added.

This is one big tank.
