Didn't think the warboss in mega armour fit my army. Instead, the answer (as it always should be) is squigs!

A Gloomspite Gitz Loonboss, courtesy of Stormbringer magazine! Had a lot of fun painting this little guy up for the latest review - and there’s more to come!

Warhammer 40k is great because there is a race of belligerent psychic space fungi (several races technically if you want to be pedantic) and they have a character that is basically V from V For Vendetta who is implied to remember things from every time he appears meaning he retains all his skills which makes him capable of fighting giants the size of 3 story houses that wear hollowed out mechs as armour in one on one combat and winning. His origins lie in the aftermath of a war that ended in the death of several gods and an entire empire going to bed for 60 million years. His people were forcefully devolved from brilliant tacticians and generals into small cowardly creatures used either as slaves or as food. People have speculated that he is anything from a daemon born out of a resentment thats been building up for millions of years to a memetic mind virus/infohazard designed to tear empires apart from within. And ontop of all this he’s the 40k version of Santa Claus.

Ho ho ho.

This is Redkap one of Zarbag’s Gitz from Games Workshop.

Painted this fella at a friend’s house had a great time with some good friends.

I always loved Night Goblins or Gloomspite Gitz. I probably would have collected them back in the day but everyone I knew played 40k. Now I collect just to paint and possibly use in my DCCRPG game so I’ve got a few now, mostly from Stormbringer magazine.

I'll do nice shots later, I'm just happy with how Makari turned out.

This batch puts me over 80/90 Boys, so I'll hit that goal with the next Ork wave. I am not a sane man.

Hobby update!

Orktober is now in full swing, and the greenskin bug has hit me hard!

Update on the squig herd! The squig hoppers and actual squig herd await basing details and metalics.

I bought and then painted a box of the multipose gutrippaz

Then I also got to work on the second batch of dominion gutrippaz, so that's 20 gutrippaz in like a week and a half. I'd call that good time.

I also aquired a unit of stabbas and a loonboss. Those guys will likely be reprimed in my preferred style. (Grey with a heavy white drybrush to really show off those recesses) That lil dude in the front used my normal techniques over the white base, and he came out less than satisfactory. They gonna look like mini gutrippaz and itll be adorable!

Last but not least, Bug Whispra got a LEF'TENUT. He'll be in the style of my ironjaws stuff. Its the new Anvilsmasha model, and lord he be CHONK! Homeboy rockin a 50mm round.

Grinkrak’s Looncourt, one of the most characterful sets of models I’ve had the opportunity to paint. I hope we get more platemail gobbos in the future!

The Mad Grot

(This is a Warhammer flash fiction piece I wrote, it was meant to be for a Cold Open competition but didn’t quite fit the theme and not sure it’s good enough to win, but I’m quite happy with it. I love the Warhammer universes, and am nerding out big over them. I’m still fairly new to it all, so apologies for any mistakes/inaccuracies. Hope you enjoy and let me know what you think.)

Tupzin threw an elbow into his neighbour's face and darted forward, scrapping a few more feet in the swirling scrum at the mob's centre.

He'd been pushed forward at first, but had no interest in being first to face the humie guns, but the rear held the threat of Brazgot's lashes and squig hounds. 

The best place to be was in the middle of the horde. Unfortunately, every other git knew this, and there was a mass of conniving cowardice at work.

It didn't help that countless squabbles and grudges were getting settled in the ruck too.

Tupzin, hissing angrily, shoved off a grot who tried climbing over him.

That's when he saw Loonza the Mad Grot.

                               *    *     *             

Loonza was angry, he'd wanted to get a place right at the front. 

They was fighting humies, and he wanted to get stuck in straight away.

He was sure if Gork or Mork saw him go down scrapping, they might let him come back as an ork or something, a proppa fighter!

He'd charged up his beloved laspistol, but when unplugging it from the frayed wires, he'd been zapped and woken up to find most of the other grots already scrapping.

Mad Grot. 

That's what they called him, Loonza knew. But they were just as mad as him. Fighting for a few more moments of life.

Not him, though. 

Nope, he knew he'd die eventually, but he was gonna go down swinging and blasting.

He'd had to fight his way through a bit, but most grots, seeing his determined expression, cleared out. 

The eagerness for a fight and determination marked him out as different right away.

There were his clothes too, which were more warlike than the usual grot rags. He's scrounged up plenty of blue, wanting the luck to kill some humies before they got ‘im.

And wedged on his head was a metal pot serving as a helmet. He had his laspistol in hand and a crude knife strapped across his back.

Loonza was ready for a fight.         

             *     *      *

Tupzin shrieked, running towards the human guns. 

He needed a place to hide! 

The ship had landed, or rather crashed, into the planet, and Brazgot had forced them into a charge.

Tupzin had been with hundreds of others but now ran with a small clutch of fellow grots. 

Hopefully, they'd catch any shots sent their way.

The gang ducked behind some rubble, jabbering nervously.

“I think Brazgot's dead! We can just stay here.”

“If 'e’s dead, his squigs loose! I ain't gonna sit and wait to get eaten!”

There was a demented whoop, and Loonza rushed over to them.

Figures. All that blue makes 'im lucky, Tupzin thought. Tho' real luck woulda been not being a grot to start with.

                *     *      *           

Loonza had his pistol slung over his shoulder and his bloody knife in hand. He'd found a humie hiding in a tower with some fancy gun with a tellyscope on it.

Typical humie nonsense! Aiming was cheating, and took the fun outta the fight. Better to just blast away and let Gork and Mork sort it out, innit?

“Wot you lot doing? Fights over there.” He grinned, nodding towards the enemy.

“Get lost you daft snot!” Tupzin snapped. “We is using cover for tacti-kal vantage, ain't we?”

“Youse is hiding!” Loonza cackled. “Well, not me, lads! Loonza's gonna fight!”

 He ran off hooting and hollering.

“That mad git is gonna get 'imself killed.” Tupzin sneered. “Shoulda stayed here, nice and sa-”

That's when the shell hit.

               *      *       *

Loonza had swiped a grenade from a dead humie and now held it like a prize as he ran along a rubble wall that ran through the human lines.

Three humies were crouched behind a big shoota on three legs, blasting away at the orks attacking.

Loonza watched for a moment, mesmerised by the awesome firepower.

'Cor, what I wouldn't give to have a shoota like that one day, Loonza thought, even though the gun was far bigger than him.

Well, if he couldn't have it, why should they?

He armed the grenade and lobbed it into their little nest.

One humie gave a little shriek, and then the gun and the three men vanished in a blast of flame, gore and smoke.

Loonza hopped down and ran along the humie line, occasionally finding a humie hunkered down in the mud.

They was all looking the other way, so he shot them in the back. Nuffin’ wrong with that.

Then he found a whole bunch of 'em all huddled together. Looking away and shooting at the charging greenskins off in the distance.

“Well, this'll do! Hope yer watching, Mork! You too, Gork!” Loonza said cheerfully.

Then with a manic whoop, he charged them.

Diving down into the foxhole he unleashed a volley of lasblasts, scorching the air and catching two of the humies in the head and neck.

The humans yelled, spinning around at this surprise attack and firing in panic.

One humie's shotgun cut down another, and the humie froze, staring at his dead mate, giving Loonza an easy target.

Then Loonza was thrown forward as a shot hit him in the back. He rolled over, dropping the humie who'd shot him, the last survivor in the place.

“Hope you enjoyed the show…” The grot muttered, before everything went black.

           *       *       *

Fixxbash looked at the towering metal form in front of him.

This was the mastapiece of kans, and he'd not wanted to waste it on another cowardly grot who'd still run even when inside his magnificent creation.

But Brazgot assured him this grot was different. They'd called him the Mad Grot, and the little git had killed a buncha humies before getting hisself shot.

“Plug him in.”

The grot he barked at hesitated a moment, saw Fixxbash's heavy wrench and then obeyed, jabbing a wire in through the top of the Killa Kan.

There was a flash, the smell of burnt grot and then the machine roared into life, belching thick fumes from the exhausts.

From inside came a manic cackle, and the arms moved, testing the giant pincers on the left and inspecting the heavy gun on the right.

“Oh, yeah! This is more like it!” A voice cried excitedly.

Got into local Crusade campaign. Brought in grot!WAAAAGH, inspired by Mike Brook's novel Warboss. Nothing is painted yet, as I just got most of it as Christmas, New Year and Birthday gifts. But here's my GrotBoss. And my stupid ultra-bad army that mostly consists of Stompa(705 points out of 1000).

And here's report from Snaggi's point of view

Snaggi applied the last coat of paint on his new armor with a happy sigh.

Dis was a good day. First 'e  spotted some fishboys rumbling tru ruins. Always fun to slap around if u can get past dem being shooty!  But dat's what ovver grots are for! And deir trukk was proppa shiny. Snaggi really wanted dat fishboy trukk plate for 'is armor. And 'e got it!

Yeah, dey turned over stompa. (Too bad it did not explode in deir faces. Dat would be hilarious!) And dey were ded set to do some weird fings to da ruins, and dey left after dey did dem instead of finishing da fight proppa. But we all know fishboys are weird.

Still, we got dat trukk. I got da armor. Princess got da fishboy snacc. WIN FOR DA GROTWAAAAGH!

(I actually lost the game as soon as tau killed the stompa on turn 3. Also because it was my first time playing orks and I messed up some rules badly in opponents favour. And because I'm generally not good at games😅 Does not stop me from signing up for anything I can attend tho 🤣)

I'll be tagging Crusade posts with Grot!WAAAGH , so you can blacklist it if you do not want to see it.
