fluger Posted December 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 Oh, definitely EXPENSE. I try not to think of how many hundreds and thousands of dollars I’ve dropped on Orks. Pro Tip, check out Mindtaker Miniatures or any second hand source to cut costs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dry brush for various pops, airbrush was mix of nuln and earth's hade. Call it good. I don't have 120 but I have a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I am about there as well. Easily since it's about 5x squads of grots 2x 20 boy squads, 25 loota, and that's just the basics... There are tankbustas, Mek guna (and their stupid need of 6 grots a pop), and so much more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want those grots as shields dang it! Nope it's part of the model and is required for tournaments.... I am tempted to make orky metal cutouts of grots to give that illusion of grots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 If you need to borrow some grots for the league, I have extras I've been setting aside for pathfinder/dnd uses. Mine are a healthy mix of goblins, snotlings, and grots on 20mm round bases - they look really cute on the smaller bases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything outside of the gun core is GW bitz. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
