Now i know folks will think that its not an all gretchin army cause of the Ork units, but my plan is to convert those units into grots. An example is i was planning on tweeking SM melta bombs a the burnaboyz back packs with some tubing running to their guns. Any feed back would be great

Crazy idea, I'd love to see it in action

Would love to see pics of this when it is finished.

Those Grots need some serious exoskeletons to get T4, Ws4 and A2... But I love the idea.

Wel i was thinking about doing the orky unit like mechanical versions seeing that grots are bit smarter than orks and or greenstuff armour to bulk them out. but im sort of having trouble converting the stormboys. I was thinking bout cutting down Hellstrike and Hunter Kill missiles from IG and some bitz from other armies.

I agree with Makarova. I don't think any opponent is going to buy T4 grots. Maybe the rocket pack could be really huge, its almost a rocket wearing a grot, to give the model size to justify the ork-grade durability.

I have a great answer to that. Bottle rockets.

Grot sized killa kanz.

Mega Armored Grots!

Beware of the Redeemer. It is almost unstoppable and can put obscene amounts of hurt on gretchin.

but this is an army with incredible staying power. Namely because you have more firepower in one of you're troops choices than most marines can feild in a small game.

[Ymmot (M.I.A)]

Are you talking about the thirty 12 inch range , S3, AP- grot blastas?


My SMurfs aren't too worried.(which could be their undoing!)
anyway...it is lists like this that are the reason all marine players should have a whirlwind or two.
