As well as the Ork Stormboyz Nob which I got at Warhammer World last month, I also got the Grot Oiler which is a mail order direct only model as well.
Very nice little model which will eventually be found on one of my Ork vehicles or the new Ork Trukk which comes out in January.
Grot Cannonz attempt to ambush an Imperial Demolisher.
Boy are those things a tough nut to crack.
I have been painting some more Big Gunz Grot Krew.
The problem with only two krew is that they die easily, and quicker than the gun does…
When I last posted about my Grots they looked like this.
The next stage was to drybrush the weapons and equipment with Tin Bitz and Boltgun Metal.
I then using Scorpion Green, highlighted the skin of the Grots, finishing off final highlights with a mix of Scorpion Green and Blazing Yellow.
The next stage is the **uniforms**.
Having given some grots a basecoat of Goblin Green, I have painted their weapons and equipment with Chaos Black.
The next stage is to drybrush with Tin Bitz and Boltgun Metal.
Having now painted the Rebel Grot Leader’s jacket to be like a old battered leather coat.
I am starting to like my paint job a little more.
The model does look better in reality than these pictures.
I painted a little more of my Rebel Grot Leader. I painted his coat Snakebite Brown.
The flash has emphasised how unhappy I am with the paint job on this model. I am certainly not happy with the flesh tones compared to other Grots I have painted.
I might just abandon him and start over.
I have finished two Grots.
One is not based as it is going to be a Grot Rigger on one of my Ork vehicles.
I am quite pleased with the one with the spanner.
You can never have enough Grots (especially if you want to use them as ammo grunts).
I have started painting some more Grots, unlike my Orks I use a white undercoat as I want them to be lighter than the Orks.
The detailing on these models are excellent and they are full of character.
Once the white undercoat is done, the skin tones are painted in Goblin Green.
The next stage will be a highlight of Scorpion Green (as with my Gun Krew Grots).
Following on from my last posting on my Big Gunz Grot Krew, a few more details have been added.
I used Brazen Brass for the shell casings.
I am intending to make some bases for the Big Gunz with empty shell cases on the ground.
