THE GREAT GROT REBELLION!!! Part 1

[Inquisitor Proiteus]

Normal people are happy to assemble and paint their army following the simple instructions provided and paint in a colour scheme of their choosing. WELL I'M NOT ONE OF THOSE NORMAL PEOPLE!

Over a year and half worth of designing, modeling and drawing my insane mind has spawned the Grot Rebellion.

The Army is fully converted and unique, its mission is to win best army and conquer all the Orks in the Galaxy so lets get started on the first half of miniatures...

HQ

Grot Rebel Command!
Colonel Grotsnik by far is the best miniature in the army taking the ‘Red Gobbo’ miniatures and slapping the cap from the classic Commissar Yarrick was a stroke of pure genius. As was the rest of the army who would of thought of using guard torso and arms with goblin heads and legs would make such a fantastic miniatures!

Grot Special Weapons
For a while I thought of taking a Special Weapons squad using fanatics as bomb wielding madmen but they were soon replaced by a very famous weapon. Sadly this squad was ditched for my much more hard hitting Kommandos.

ELITES

Grot Kommandos
As I mentioned before I needed something to give me an edge against tanks and heavy armoured units enter my Kommandos deep striking in squads of 5 each with 3 Meltaguns or Plasmaguns! These units have terrorized players to no end!

The Grot Ninja
‘Grot Hopper’ was a character in the Grot Rebellion’s background comic of which I’ll upload in the art area soon, he was too cool not to be made into a miniature so he acts as an Eversor Assassins in certain campaign missions.

TROOPS

Grot Rebelz
The army originally started out as a Grot Speed Freaks army but having all those tanks with BS2 put me off so I thought what is the 2nd lowest form of life? Of course the guard! From then on all my models were to be created to look like the Guard units they represented. This group is part of a 4 Squad Infantry Platoon. I also have plans to build a 2nd Human Slave Platoon using the new Empire Flagellants miniatures.

Grot Grenadiers
By far one of the challenges of this army was to convert Grot Storm Troopers with out making them look like walking trash cans so I casted them each a heavy duty riot shield to count as their 4+ armour save.

...I am afraid. Very afraid. And the fact that I'm being made to be afraid of grotz adds humiliation to the fear.
Great job with the modeling!

wow!, I never even though of combining grots and imperials. I thought grots and chaos, but what you've got here is genius. Very good idea, painting and models. It inspires me to do my chaos kroot.

Sorry mate, its already been done. Some guy at a Grand tournement some years back did an all out grot rebel army. It had a mega armoured leader with a grot controlling it inside. HE used Ork rules though.

Heres his site with the stuff on.

Neither am I. I'm starting up Beastmen in 40K as a Lost and the Damned list, so I have complete sympathy for what you're doing here.
