A Couple of finished minis

Ive nearly finished the yella team and the Grots. I'll post a few guys now but the rest can wait till I do the bases.

So here is Grotsmasha


The Boss Grot Cpt Squig Snotto (Name to be changed)


One of the spannas


The next one is the boy with the magnet arm.


And a couple of grots
I want to make my own bases close to the original GoMo bases so I can fit more grots on the cuttas.
Next project is to build a trukk for the yellow team. I thinking big ute or some CAT machine.

The Grot Mob

As I'm back at work now I decided to work on the mobs. So I wont get any paint on the Cuttas till I get back home.

Im going for the pirate theme for the Grots to fit in with the boats. I will do up about 20ish Grots including 5 snots as I seem to go through them pretty quick. I will probably just leave them fairly generic with minimal mods. I think I will build a card for each grot with all his stat much like warmachine.

So here is the crew so far.

The Captain. I think I'll call him Cpt Squid Beard but then I'd have to sculpt a beard (As you can see my sculting isnt that good) So I will leave him unnammed at the moment.
Im thinking of also giving him a Squig Parrot.

Next up is the Banna Wava. He'll get the same treatment as the Capt.

Here are a few of the crew. They will also get a bit more pirate stuff sculpted to them.

And a few Snots. These were like 2nd edition metals. Ive replaced the heads but need to do a bit of work to blend them in.
I should have them done in a day or two and then to get paint on them. I want to do a total of 4 mobs so they will be red yellow blue and green. The Grots will be Kahki with red trim so they are basically my Green team. The current ork mob are yellow. Im trying to do the paint jobs quickly so they will mostly be painted with washes.

Cutta and Lugga

I got myself one of those hole punches I see alot of people with to use as a rivet maker. So I went to town with it making the two Cuttas I will need. Here are a couple of bad pics of them. No wips as I was too busy to take any

The two of them together. They can hold 6 but 4 fit comfortably.
I think the mast is too big so I might swap it out. Not sure what to make the saile out of. Maybe light cloth.

I have made all the moving bits work so the boom will swing around and the steering turns a rear skid.
You mught see the bits on the boom and floor. Not sure what they are called but I will add ropes to it so I can make the boom move. I will also have ropes for the sails as well so they can be raised or lowered
 The mast is damaged to reflect the damage done on the last game I have. Damn Mutie guns take em out every time.

The big lugga with a bit of paint on it. Going for a russian type look so Kaki and red.

Big Lugga build nearly finished

Just few small things to add to this and Im done. A figure head (I might wait till I have a game and see if I capture and ork or something). Stearing wheel and port holes and some rope and nettings. I also want trophies hanging of it but will do that after painting. The color scheme for this one will be like my khador minis. I like the idea of cam green with red stars.

Anyway here tis for now.

As you will probably guess this this is pretty big. Much bigger than the trak Im building. I can probably use it as a trukk if I needed a spare one. I intend to build 4 mobs in total.

The other side. You may not make it out but there are two holes in the front for rope to attach to the front skids for steering.
Old Kopta blades for the egine. I was going to make a working motor but as the body is foam I decided a hot motor sitting inside foam might be a very bad idea.
A pick of the poop deck. Just needs a steering wheel and its done. Also you can see the door leading to the engine room.
So my next post for this guy will be in a few days maybe a week when I hope to have paint on it.

Big Lugga update

Doing a few bits for the big lugga. Ive been working on the Forcastle (Focsal) I will magnetise the splater gun in case I change my mind and put a twin linked in there. Also as its so big I might even use it as a trukk one day.


The Focsal. I will put some scrap metal to protect the grots and make it look more Goblinie.
Im planning on a figure head as well just not sure what yet. Maybe a tied up orc.


A few pics of the Splatter gun. It actually woks. Im going to magnatise it once im finished building it.



I have a few squigs laying around so I might have a grot trying to load one in. I also want to make a trigger devise for it so I can load it and use it during the game.

GorkaMorka update

Here is a quick update of the Grot Big Lugga. Most of the plating is done then all the pretty stuff will be left to do. Im going to use a set of skids for this one witha giant fan out the back for propulsion.
