Going to build 9 grot tanks and 1 grot mega tank for starters. I really loved the concept of grot tanks, cause they are funky, yet capable to do some damage.
Grot tanks 3/8
Mobs completed 0/2
Painted 3/8
Built 3/8
Grot mega tank 0/1
Grot looted wagons 3/3 completed
So, here is my first built tank, haven't given him name yet:

nice work for a name "little blue"? got any wip shots whats it made form?
Well done. It looks slap-dash while being functional at the same time. Nice to see an Ork tank that isn't red or rusty metal.
With the blue and white checkers, it looks kinda Greek.
Here are wip pictures of the first tank
Today I've made a second tank.
No pictures, but I added crude rivets all over the tank and managed to prime it. Gotta slap some blue now.
These are really cool. Looking forward to seeing more.
Will you be building this up to a full army later?
Lowmans, thanks.
Yes, I plan to build a dread mob army with deff dreads and stuff using IA8: Kastorel-novem, or play regular games using codex: orks and grot tanks counts as warbuggies or maybe killa kans.
On progress:
Yesterday I painted base colours, and started painting freehands. Chipped paint and other weathering to go. No photos, was to sleepy to make some.
Yay! Managed to paint the second one
I LOVE your tanks! Keep the work, fur da revolution!
This is the war-ravaged world of Warhammer, and there's only WAR!... and hammers.
Mr. Ultra, thanks a lot.
No real updates for now, but i've planned the last third tank for this mob.

Please forgive my ignorance but are grot tanks in the Ork codex? I have personally never seen a grot tank company. I have seen a few threads on them though and to be honest, I want to build some mini tanks!...but only if I can actually play them in a game/tournament.
Thanks

I like the weathering you've done on your first set. I'm about to try it on my Ultramarine Dreadnought, do you have any tips please?Originally Posted by Komodo
The Kastorel Novem book was really good, I thought. Nice to see some models from there.
Nah, they're Forgeworld stuff.
Lovely cute tank. A great idea for a force, how many points will it be?

CutThroatRazor, they do have rules to play with, it's even now have a stamp "Warhammer 40k" in latest Apocalypse 2nd ed. As for tournaments... you probably won't be able to field them as grot tanks, but we all know a wonderful "counts as" rule.but only if I can actually play them in a game/tournament.
Lowmans, sure. I use a spongy thing that comes metal blisters to apply a black paint, sponge reaaally gives a nice random effect. Then you just paint inside of a black area with metallic.I like the weathering you've done on your first set. I'm about to try it on my Ultramarine Dreadnought, do you have any tips please?
As for mud, It was painted in consecutive dabbing of scorched brown, bestial brown and snakebite leather.
Hairy Norseman, I'm planning to bring the whole force to about 2k with roughly 500 points of 3 grot tank mobs with grot mega tank.Lovely cute tank. A great idea for a force, how many points will it be?
Magot, thank for the kind words
Updates to come!
