So i want to run a snazzwagon in my list, mainly for preventing overwatch, but also for having solid shooting, issue is the snazzwagon isnt super grot-ish, and i want my snazzwagon to fit in line with my other chaos grots, so 1 how do i make this look like a grot revolution thing and 2nd, what chaos faction should it be themed towards?
This is not fully painted, almost done, but not fully painted.
If the colour scheme didnt give it away this is based off of slaanesh/the emperors children. Why not world eaters? Because im running this with the thunderbuss so i can shoot with it.
I do have a boomdakka snazzwagon that i plan on using in my army also (since i kinda want a sub-list for my chaos grot revolution) issue is, idk how i can grot-ify it and what chaos faction i should do it for. I do kinda want atleast one unit painted as a csm faction that isnt WE, DG, EC, or TS. Issue is i dont really know what faction, ik i dont wanna do black legion or night lords cuz frankly those wouldnt make sense, but what do you think?

I wanted to make a list that use all 3 of my non-epic kitbashed grot characters and ive seen a few of the enhancements in brute bosses and they looked super spice and if anything kinda silly
My kitbashed ghaz. I still have no clue what to call my chaos grot army xD
All i need to do is the claws and the spike pole on the base
Is it weird that im actually starting to like this? Im still not sure what chaos faction im going for, i've just been winging it
This..... abomination was something that i randomly threw together cuz i had a bunch of forge fiend and csm stuff lying around. As you can probably assume, this is my grot ghaz proxy, i wanted to lean into my grots being fueled by the chaos god's blessings to make them stronger and less cowardly so i thought what better thing to lead my walking nightmare than this horrific monstrocity.
Yes this is the most cursed thing i have ever created outside of my tall grot boyz and that dakkarig i made while blackout drunk.
So with my grot army being fully built and me getting a paint scheme for my grots and my reanimated ork corpses, i kinda realised that my grot army could also double as a CHAOS grot army, akinned to a mob of cultists. With most if not all the weapons and armour on my grots being dirty and rusty and the ghost white skin on my orks, i could see this passing as death guard grot cultists (yes, that is a mouth full) especially with hobgrots being basically non existent in 40k, it could be rationalised that the stature for the hobgrot boyz and snaggas could has been the cause of a ritual and their increase in height was perceved as a gift from the chaos gods.
Do you see what i mean or am i just rambling like a crazy person?
So i played and 1000 point game against kroot with my 1000 point grot revolution list (the one with zodgrod and 20 grots) surprising no one, i won (because kroot are comically terrible) after tabling them on my 4th turn. Shockingly enough, zod with the 20 grots actually worked really well for holding centre objective, even when the game ended zod and a handful of grots were still alive after being shot and bludgeoned for 2 turns straight from multiple units.
I dont think this makes zod viable but he was really fun to use against a take an hold list.
So with my army fully built i was reminded that i made a grot proxy for zodgrod and since he's 50 points i was wondering how viable would he be in a 1000 point list?
Here's my idea:
1000 points
Purge the foe
Dreadmob, greentide
1× Warboss (ferocious show-offs, warlord)
•10 boyz (konbi-skorcha, kustom choppa, 1 rokkit launcha, 1 big shoota, 1 skorcha, 6 shootas)
1× beastboss
•10 beast snagga boyz
1× Zodgrod wortsnagga
•20 gretchen
1× 5 flashgitz
1× 5 stormboyz
2× 3 killa kanz
1× trukk
This list comes to exactly 1000 points
Im using purge the foe as my disposition since most of my army is made to kill things and or do a lot of damage at range and up close, especially since i mainly play against custodes, purge seems like a safe bet.
What are your thoughts on this list and is zod even worth it in a 1000 points for advance and charge grots and a permanent 5+ invuln save?
Ik there are some orks in my list but im making all of them (except gorbok my beastboss) with ghost white skin so theyre less living orks and more the corpses of dead orks that were either brought back to life as mindless slaves or theyre acting as meat suits for a bunch of mechanical gubbins inside the dead orks. Besides that 7/9 units in my list are grots and or squigs
Im not really sure what colours to use for stuff like the iron jaw or what to paint onto the choppa head.
I want this model to be badmoons-esque, atleast with some stuff being black and yellow i.e. the mutilator squig: Blasta (the troggoth) is painted predominantly black asides the stomach and the cracks in his body as i wanted the power source from the kmb to be his feral fury and not something simle like a battery. But his stomach armour is gonna be yellow (yes ik its pink but i kinda want to do what i did with my goliath trukk where its a very splochy yellow) the only exception to this limitation is the modified kmb or as im dubbing it from now on the Pulsa Blasta (basically think a kmb and make it a close ranged explosive shotgun) cuz even badmoons could use a little luck, especially since we're talking a grot army.
Thats all i really gotta say, im loving how this model is turning out.
This kitbash was surprisingly easy, just the kmb from the morkanaut for the thump gun, (my thought process for how it shoots is less like a kmb and more like a close ranged heat blast, like the plasma gun in doom eternal) the snotlings came from the crudcreek nose pickers, the axe head was from a megaboss axe, the bullets on the jaw and the dead boy came from the old boyz kit, and the grot came from the runtherd and grechen box.
If you have a name for these lanky lads, lmk
So my 1000 point revolution is almost fully built, all i need now is another unit of runt boyz and (the topic of this post) the beastboss on squigosaur.
There is only one problem, it has been out of stock both online and in stores for months, so i cant buy a bbs and just grot-ify it....
And then i found the breaka boss on mirebrute troggoth. The y use the same 80mm base and they are about the same size and since the bbs in my list is my warlord, the kruleboy could just be a tall grot so all i'd really have to do is 40k it a little.
If there is anything i should add to grot-ify or 40k it that you think is a good idea, lmk.
Idk how it took me this long to remember that substeala wheelas existed and guess what, theyre the same base size as the wartrakk. And since the grots already kinda looks similar to 40k grots, all you would have to do in theory is make it look a bit more orky (scrap metal and looted bits) and add a gun and some rokkits and you have a wartrakk (2 if you decide to do the same with the second sunsteala in the box)
Pretty easy "conversion" (i just put the normal squig hoppers on squighog bases. Dw my beast snagga hobgrots will take a little more effort.) I was planning on 40k-ing them a little bit, but squighog boyz are already snakebites, which are primetive orks so i think theyre fine as is (this is code for i didnt have any rokkits left over and i didnt wanna run the risk of making them too big and thus handicapping myself.)
To make up for this being not very creative, i'll let you gitz decide what colour i should do them. Ive already done purple, yellow and a mix of blue and red.
This is the start of my 1000 point grot revolution list.
Right now i have the cawdor grots as boyz, my grot warboss kommisar hookgut, my grot-liath trukk, and my savage ork beast boss Orgob skull krusha, i also have some squigs that i plan on running as grots. most of these are not painted (as you can clearly see) but im working on it.
For anyone who's curious, this is my list:
Detachment: Warhorde
Characters:
• Beastboss on squigosaur (warlord, headwoppas killchoppa)
• Beastboss (follow me ladz)
• Warboss (attack squig, kustom choppa (may change out for a power klaw) and kustom shoota
• Weirdboy
Battleline:
• 10 beast snaggas
• 10 beast snaggas
• 10 boyz (1 rokkit launcha, 1 burna, 1 big shoota, kombi-skorcha)
• 10 boyz (1 rokkit launcha, 1 burna, 1 big shoota, kombi-skorcha)
Infantry:
• 10/11 gretchen (idk if they will have a runtherd when the codex comes out)
Mounted:
• 4 squighog boyz
• 1 wartrakk
Transport:
• trukk
All of this adds up to exactly 1000 points
