Continuing the Forgeworld Grot Bomb Launcha

The Forgeworld Grot Bomb Launcha is probably one of my all time favourite models. I have three of these, one is finished, the other two are a work in progress. Having painted the chassis with a spray of Citadel Zandri Dust. I painted the exhausts and the rear deck with Leadbelcher. I then gave the model a wash using Citadel Shade Agrax Earthshade. I drybrushed the model. I gave the tracks a heavy drybrush of Gorthor Brown, followed by a lighter drybrush of Leadbelcher.

I used some Agrax Earthshade on the fuel tank and the leather seat.

I then drybrushed the launcha with Leadbelcher. This is the right one for this Grot Bomb Launcha and is slightly warped. I also used some Seraphim Sepia to add some rust style effects.

This is the launcha on the Wartrakk.

Now to find the rider.

Grot Oiler and Grot with Toolbox

One of the things I want to add to my Ork vehicles are Grot Krew.

I did buy some metal Grot models for this purpose a few years ago.

This included a Grot Oiler and a Grot with Toolbox.

I had given the models a white undercoat and then gave the Grot flesh a base coat of Goblin Green.

Launcha for the Grot Bomb Launcha

The Forgeworld Grot Bomb Launcha is probably one of my all time favourite models. I have three of these, one is finished, the other two are a work in progress.

I found the chassis of one in of the boxes with my Land Raiders. Having painted the chassis with a spray of Citadel Zandri Dust. I painted the exhausts and the rear deck with Leadbelcher. I then gave the model a wash using Citadel Shade Agrax Earthshade. I drybrushed the model. I gave the tracks a heavy drybrush of Gorthor Brown, followed by a lighter drybrush of Leadbelcher.

The launcher system (launcha) was already painted black and drybrushed with a metallic paint. Though I think this one was from my other Grot Bomb Launcha.

I touched up the white paint on the Grot Bomb pilot to later paint with green flesh tones.

I also need to paint the driver. Well I also need to find the driver as well.

Still some work to do.

See the workbench feature on the Grot Bomb Launcha.

Further work on my Grot Bomb Launcha

The Forgeworld Grot Bomb Launcha is probably one of my all time favourite models. I have three of these, one is finished, the other two are a work in progress.

I found the chassis of one in of the boxes with my Land Raiders. Having painted the chassis with a spray of Citadel Zandri Dust, I used some other brown paints to paint the boxes on the chassis. I painted the exhausts and the rear deck with Leadbelcher. I then gave the model a wash using Citadel Shade Agrax Earthshade.

I then drybrushed the model with various shades of brown. I found the tracks. These had been undercoated black. I gave them a heavy drybrush of Gorthor Brown, followed by a lighter drybrush of Leadbelcher.

I also used Leadbelcher lightly on the motorcycle engine.

I had already painted the fuel tank.

More work to do.

Painting the Grot Bomb Launcha Mk II

The Forgeworld Grot Bomb Launcha is probably one of my all time favourite models. I already have a workbench feature on that Grot Bomb Launcha however I did get another model of one at GamesDay 2005.

I found the chassis of this one in of the boxes with my Land Raiders. Having painted the chassis with a spray of Citadel Zandri Dust, I used some other brown paints to paint the boxes on the chassis. I painted the exhausts and the rear deck with Leadbelcher.

I then gave the model a wash using Citadel Shade Agrax Earthshade.

The next stage will be a drybrush.

Painting the Grot Bomb Launcha Mk II

The Forgeworld Grot Bomb Launcha is probably one of my all time favourite models. I already have a workbench feature on that Grot Bomb Launcha however I did get another model of one at GamesDay 2005.

I found the chassis of this one in of the boxes with my Land Raiders.

I gave the model a spray of Citadel Zandri Dust.

Now I just need to find the rest of the model!

Warhammer World Grot Tanks

In the Ork display cabinets of Warhammer World are the Forge World Grot Tanks.

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.

I really liked these models and I bought them when they were released, but alas they spent many years on the Grot Tank workbench before this year when I got some real painting done and virtually finished all four tanks.

I think the next time I visit Warhammer World I might pick up another pack of the tanks and build different variants and maybe add some more details as well.

See the Grot Tank Miniatures Gallery for more photographs of these little tanks.

Grot Tanks

I bought these Grot Tanks ten years ago and I built them quite quickly and then they were undercoated. However for most of the next ten years they were kept in a box. In the last few months though, I got an itch and decided to finish them. I painted them all different colours

I am quite pleased about how they have turned out. Here is one of them with a Killa Kan.

I think I would like to have some more of these, but hopefully I can build and paint them quicker than I did with these.

Here are the workbench guides on how I painted the four Grot Tanks.

Grot Tank on patrol

This is one of my Grot Tanks. I bought these ten years ago and I built them quite quickly and then they were undercoated. However for most of the next ten years they were kept in a box. In the last few months though, I got an itch and decided to finish them. Here is one of the four that I have finished on my desert scenery tile.

Very bright for a tank, but I do like how this one turned out.

The model was then given various shades and washes before being slightly drybrushed. I did use contrast paints on the rockets on the back.

Here is the guide to how I painted it.

Green Grot Tank

This is another one of my Forge World Grot Tanks.

I bought these ten years ago and I built them quite quickly and then they were undercoated. However for most of the next ten years they were kept in a box. In the last few months though, I got an itch and decided to finish them.

Here is one of the four that I have. The model was painted with a a basecoat using a spray can of Chieftain Green, and the tracks with Gorthor Brown.
