Re: Has anybody tried making 40K Grotz from WHFB Gnoblars? Interact Reply Quote Report To Mod Last Posts Ignore User Global Ignore Whisper I think they would be perfect grots, even better than the goblin conversions that are popular for this purpose. A few comments, though: Gnoblars are smaller in all respects (nose aside), which means that you may have a bit of a challenge getting some of the larger ork or grot weapons to fit their little hands. Converted Imperial weaponry might be more appropriate. The vast majority of gnoblars are in a stooped position, which means that they look like an appropriate carpet of greenskins when ranked up, but you may find that you want to position them for additional detail visibility; adding some height to their bases may help. The gnoblar hands and arms are perfect for re-positioning as they can be cut at the wrist and sleeve joins. Despite what the standard figs look like, the models are surprisingly versatile. Best of luck with the conversions, - Mike --- check out some pictures of my work at Coolminiornot

In the meantime, I found a fair number of threads here, too (D'Oh!), even if they are more skeptical: http://www.the-waaagh.com/forums/index.php?showforum=2 Cheers, Last_Chancer
