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…

Highlighting Grots and painting their weapons
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**.
Grots’ weapons and equipment
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.
Grot Rebel Leader
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.
Rebel Grot Leader
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.
Grots finished…
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.
Grots
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).
Big Gunz Grot Krew
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.
Big Gunz Grot Krew
When you get a Big Gunz blister you only get two krew. In my games I have found two krew is not really enough to last the game, so I now try and have as many as possible. I have been using standard grot models, but I have had some spare models hanging around for a while on my workbench so I decided to paint them up.
I started with a white undercoat, I usually use a black undercoat with my Orks, but as Grots are meant to be a lighter shade of green than Orks, I start off them with white.
I then give them a base coat of Goblin Green.
I also paint any metallic equipment black to give a better look when I add the metallic paint.
I then highlight them with Scorpion Green, I use to use Bilious green, however my last pot dried up and Games Workshop no longer make it. The Scorpion Green is very similar and does the same job.
I also highlight them again with a mix of Scorpion Green and yellow.
Uniforms are shades of brown to represent the rags they wear and to differentiate them from the Orks who wear grey. I also use Boltgun Metal for the metal parts.
Eyes are painted black with a red eye, whilst teeth and nails are done with Bleached Bone.
Bases will be the same as for my Orks, Codex Grey with a white drybrush.
My workbench shows details on painting the Big Gunz themselves.
Rebel Grot Big Lugga
Managed to win an auction for one of these.
The Rebel Grot Lugga from Gorkamorka was (and is) one of my favourite Gorkamorka vehicles. I have been trying to get one for some time now, but have been very unlucky or outbid.
They usually go for about £25, but I managed to get one (still sealed) for a lot less than that.
