Having built and painted the models I have actually grown to like them. Having constructed the models I gave them a white undercoat. They’re loaded into the wings of specially-fitted Grot Bommers, and launched in support of the Air Waaagh! Fitted with a short-burn rocket engine and stuffed with unstable explosives, some rabid grots are happy to climb aboard just for the (short-lived) thrill of speed and freedom.
It doesn’t take long before they become obsessed with flying just like their bigger kin, begging for their own turn on the control stick. Some enterprising Ork meks decided this arrangement could be mutually beneficial, and created guided missiles that could be flown like a tiny, gretchin-sized airplane. The diminutive Gretchin have long been enthusiastic supporters of Ork aviation, whether gleefully pushing bombs out of open bays, crawling into tight spots to fix engines, or acting as spotters and even gunners on ork planes.
Well in the end I got a box as a present, so the decision was made for me. I do like the concept of these, though I am not a big fan of the actual models, but Orks is Orks, so they are next on my shopping list. The obvious answer for me is a pair of Grot Bommerz.
I did say in a post last year that these would be my next purchase for Aeronautica Imperialis would be some Grot Bommerz.
