A guy at my game store has his specific guard army, we legit play sometimes and he uses a custom regiment that is literally just Dakka Dakka Dakka. It’s so funny to see a leman Russ shoot more off 6s lol
Imagine being a guardsman and seeing that force in the distance, getting happy to being receiving reinforcements, then them getting closer and realising it's a bunch of grots XD
A massive thank you to Nick and the PlayOn team for having me, and to every single comment over the past three years, I read them all and it inspires me to hobby almost daily. Also, I guess this is what three hours of sleep looks like, my mum doesn’t even have stairs at her house!
Superb mate, I haven’t played since I was a teenager but came across across this video and youve inspired me to get kit bashing 🤣 Love the creativity. Great vid all round, cheers to you and the Play On team for some solid content 🍻
i really feel that this is what 40k is about , he legit has had soo much fun building , painting , and creating lore for his force tbh this is the hooks that pulled me into 40k in the first place
I've been saying for awhile it'd be cool if a particularly clever orc warboss noticed just how strong space marines are and started their own chapter, gaining tons of strength because they believe they are generically augmented. I'm so on board for this army! Fantastic execution to.
Seeing this Grot Guard gives me more inspiration to continue on with my custom Sisters of Battle order the Sisterhood of the Wolf, using a lot of Space Wolf bits, green stuff and molding.
I wanna see this army fight Tanya Gates’ army and have them role play interactions between them. Cadian: By the emperor what are you?! Goblins: we serve the emperor!!! Dakka dakka dakka!
every time i'm asked what i want to see next in 40k my answer is always "expanded grot options in 40k to be on par with grots in WFB or AoS". there's so much space to work in, and i feel like people would go mad for properly fleshed out 40k grot armies
This is perhaps my favorite army I've seen in the entire time I've watched, played and read Warhammer 40k. Stuff like this is so fun to see, and breathes life into the game. There's lots of GORGEOUS armies that appear here on Play On Tabletop, but I think this is perhaps my no. 1 favorite. I love the story too, and the callback to 2nd edition. As a newer warhammer fan, it's always nice to see references to materials I haven't personally been exposed too, yet.
Where the Beast won and conquered Terra, so the Orks are the dominant civilization of the galaxy and human remnants are mostly demoted to the role of savage raiders.
Not an Ork fan at all, but that army is amazing! At of all the armies in 40K, Orks are probably the army that I'd least like to collect, but Ork players are the most fun to play against. True labor of love
Somewhere in the 41st millennium there's a record keeper in the Imperial Administratum completely missing the obvious on this regiment! XD Absolutely love this army, very well done and thanks for the showcase of it!
As a fan of zany and unorthodox conversions and armies this stuff really speaks to me! Converting models and making them your own, complete with your own lore and everything is the creative soul of this hobby.
Oh maaaan... I getting flashbacks to the one tournament army I had - Blood-Axe Orks based in 1950's Russians - The 1st Mota-riflez ov da 1st Gran Army ov da WAAAGH - Led by the 'Grand Komissar fer WAAAGH' himself: Iagrof Snarlin I had a 'looted Chimera' as a command tank (this was back when the 'looted vehicle' rule alowed you to pick specific vehicles as their basis), and I bought a WW2 Tiger kit that I converted to be a "full" Battletank/wagon (I *think* I rulesed it as a Lotted Leman-Russ). I do SO MUCH conversion work - Iagrof was converted from a metal 'Warboss' figure, but I put him in a full (sleeveless) Greatcoat plus fancy 'officers cap', with a Power-claw hand and a bunch of little stuff all over. Then there was my Commando squad who all got red berets (Because red wunz go fasta - And if yer hat is red den dat meenz ya THINK fasta too!). Ahh... So many memories... ~JD
Absolute BEST custom army i’ve ever seen ! Fun factor AND awesome kitbash+paint are through the roof ! Games Workshop absolutely should let you sneak in some house rules for these hilarious little guys ! Really amazed !
This army is incredible thank you guys so much for highlighting it. I love seeing all the hard work people have put into their army’s, and this one is something else
This is one of the reasons I want different type of guard regiments to be released from GW. I don't have skills to turn Imperial Guard to something like this :D
You guys are the freaking best. I love all your personalities and your attitudes are so great and just seem like a genuine blast to be around. You guys actually helped inspire me to play in the first place. Keep up the great work!!!
Absolutely fantastic army! This is what it's all about just having fun with the hobby, it's just an added bonus that it's a playable army. Grot commisar is now officially my favourite model.
I like the Grot Guard army, I see this army in some other channels befor and every time I see his converted Army is amazing, I can't wait to see his Grot Guard in action =) Matthew is a cool guy and a friendly person I think :D
I Love this Army! I am tempted to make a GrotGuard for years. This army is a perfect example of how to make a count as Army that is still mostly WYSIWYG for the Opponent.
Such a cool army! You are a master kit basher. Besides the fact that this army looks amazing, the fact that it is all GW and tournament legal is so epic!
I am actually really blown away buy this. It's amazing, beautiful, and fun. The lore is perfect too! Imagining these little guys being so serious about the duty to the emperor is great!
Such an awesome army showcase. I really hope that he decides to come back on and play a match with them. He's got a really great attitude it seems as well.
Well if his goal was to spark joy he certainly succeded. Not just his army, his general demenour seems absolutely lovely. Best of luck to him with his future armies, I know I'll love to see them.
I'm in a 40k Rogue Trader RPG game, I have an Ork named Bazgak who thinks that if he believes in "DA EMPRAH", then he gets super strong. Later on he's gonna become Kommissar Bazgak and being the Big Boss of "Da Emprah's Orkiest"
What an epic army! All I can think of is Noman's Astra Mili-grot-um army, da greatest and da greenest serving Da Emprah and his mighty 'Perium. If you guys got a chuckle from this army, check out Noman's channel for his story playlists, particularly his story on "Da Emprah."
I now have the urge to make the Bois of Brattle, Grot Punishment engines and Boiz of battle squads, Brother Sella-Stein and his Snotty Inferiors, Morka Fryers, and Cast-a-gork'ar's, also can't forget his Kannonezz

I MUST SEE THIS
Grot Guard vs Tau, underdog vs underdog, as i like Tau myself, i guess the Grot Guard will win easy going
A guy at my game store has his specific guard army, we legit play sometimes and he uses a custom regiment that is literally just Dakka Dakka Dakka. It’s so funny to see a leman Russ shoot more off 6s lol
How much earlier do patreons get each episode?

This army is so awesome and inspiring, night goblin admech?!?! I might have to...
You're army heavily inspired me to get into kitbashing! amazing work
My love for this army knows no limit! Excellent work my man.
Superb mate, I haven’t played since I was a teenager but came across across this video and youve inspired me to get kit bashing 🤣 Love the creativity. Great vid all round, cheers to you and the Play On team for some solid content 🍻
This army is so freakin' cool! As soon as I saw that Shadowsword, it reminded me of the novel "Baneblade" by Guy Haley.
I don’t see any grots, just your regular loyal guardsman. Isn’t that right overly large space marine with green skin?
LOL
Should have painted them purple and this comment would be even funnier.
Those were probably Salamanders.

"Barring Squigs and Tau" Coming in HOT.
As a tau player I went oof there.
delivered in jest, poorly
@@GundamReviver same
It is not a lie. Tau are only good for two things, mocking and ork bits boxes.
Bold words, soon backed by bold deeds hopefully.
i really feel that this is what 40k is about , he legit has had soo much fun building , painting , and creating lore for his force tbh this is the hooks that pulled me into 40k in the first place
Same its what drew me to make my custom Craftworld and their own lore
@@dominichorner957 like I based my gaurd army off world war 2 German infantry and a German panzer division
I can't wait to make my fan made chapter

I've been saying for awhile it'd be cool if a particularly clever orc warboss noticed just how strong space marines are and started their own chapter, gaining tons of strength because they believe they are generically augmented. I'm so on board for this army! Fantastic execution to.
The most beautiful army I've seen.
Period
Every look at any model makes me think how much time, blood and tears had to be put into it.
You’re too kind! Definitely many late nights!!
This is absolutely crazy and I love it!
“How many hours do you think is here?”
>”It’s about three years...”
A real passion project.
Seeing this Grot Guard gives me more inspiration to continue on with my custom Sisters of Battle order the Sisterhood of the Wolf, using a lot of Space Wolf bits, green stuff and molding.
The PlayOn Drinking Game: take a shot every time a split fire fails
Out of all people.. never thought I'd see you here!
Huh. Train man.
Please don't play that drinking game, you've formad enough things.
Now playing 40k though.
Wait... train man?
Dead from alcohol poisoning by the end of turn 3
I wanna see this army fight Tanya Gates’ army and have them role play interactions between them.
Cadian: By the emperor what are you?!
Goblins: we serve the emperor!!! Dakka dakka dakka!
That would be hilarious and awesome. :D
Yaaaaaaas
That would be amazing
I to want to see this happen
Yes!! Hahaha
Oh yeah, that would be awesome
A truly incredible army. An excellent display of creativity and kitbashing. I look forward to seeing the army on the battlefield once again.
You can really tell that Matt had a blast making this army. It turned out amazing and has so much personality!
His passion and love for the army was infectious. Made us in the studio want to get to work on our own armies.
It was fun to see the conversions in my head spring to life, they normally don’t look as good as I imagine!!
This is the coolest army I’ve ever seen!
every time i'm asked what i want to see next in 40k my answer is always "expanded grot options in 40k to be on par with grots in WFB or AoS". there's so much space to work in, and i feel like people would go mad for properly fleshed out 40k grot armies
now we need an imperial knight to be orkified
Play on tabletop's orks vs necrons actually had a orkified knight in it if that interests you.
After seeing this video, I was talking to my friend about building an imperial knork army.
no dont
@@bobalthoff8242 do it dude, Orks are the most fun project to get dug in with

More like The 'Perium
@@jirojhasuo2ndgrandcompany745 the ‘Perium of boyz

The emperor's greenest

"we is the emporers greenest, FOR DA EMPEROR"
"Krump the spiky gits! Smash the mutated gits! Stomp the heritec gits! In da Emprah's name, kill 'em all boyz!"
Woohoo! These are so cool, and I love the idea behind the army!
Holy cow!!! This is so dang rad! Man, I’m chubbin over here.
this guy is amazing! what an effort and such an amazing army as well. Good work on the painting there, I love it!
Not an Ork fan at all, but that army is amazing! At of all the armies in 40K, Orks are probably the army that I'd least like to collect, but Ork players are the most fun to play against. True labor of love
They need a new codex, but they are so much fun. They were my second army, and one of my favorite
This is one of the most creative conversions I have seen. Nice work!
Somewhere in the 41st millennium there's a record keeper in the Imperial Administratum completely missing the obvious on this regiment! XD
Absolutely love this army, very well done and thanks for the showcase of it!
Legendary Army!!
That's some good stuff.

Btw y'all, the episode between Matt and Nick is fire.
Goddamn patreon time travelers...
Beautiful stuff. This army is really amazing, and you can tell that a lot of thougt and love has been put into it. This is why I love this hobby!
Absolutely! We love connecting with people that love the hobby as much, or even more, than we do.

Finally I can see this army again, it's so beutiful as the first time I saw it!!!
Great army. And putting the unit names on the bases is just a great idea. relatively simple und avoids confusion.
I always want to avoid confusion in any future games and I feel this army will outlast most of my others through many future editions!
An outstanding labor of love. I adore the commitment
Absolute BEST custom army i’ve ever seen !
Fun factor AND awesome kitbash+paint are through the roof !
Games Workshop absolutely should let you sneak in some house rules for these hilarious little guys !
Really amazed !
This is great, I'm in the process of making the same thing. Some of those kit bashes are amazing, pricey but amazing.
This army is incredible thank you guys so much for highlighting it. I love seeing all the hard work people have put into their army’s, and this one is something else
This is one of the reasons I want different type of guard regiments to be released from GW. I don't have skills to turn Imperial Guard to something like this :D
You do, you probably just don't have the time and patience. Ive done some awesome stuff (nothing like this army) that shocked me.
Technically he doesn't either. He said this was made out of Blood Bowl grots and AoS dwarves.
You guys are the freaking best. I love all your personalities and your attitudes are so great and just seem like a genuine blast to be around. You guys actually helped inspire me to play in the first place. Keep up the great work!!!
Absolutely fantastic army! This is what it's all about just having fun with the hobby, it's just an added bonus that it's a playable army.
Grot commisar is now officially my favourite model.
Welp, I'm inspired to kitbash an army now. Thanks play on.
The actual best army I’ve ever seen, I have some ordered grits comin to my house soon!
This is the most awesome army showcase I have ever seen!
I was smillling all along
I like the Grot Guard army, I see this army in some other channels befor and every time I see his converted Army is amazing, I can't wait to see his Grot Guard in action =) Matthew is a cool guy and a friendly person I think :D
Can confirm Matthew is a great guy. Source: that's my friend!!! :D
I Love this Army!
I am tempted to make a GrotGuard for years. This army is a perfect example of how to make a count as Army that is still mostly WYSIWYG for the Opponent.
The best counts as shouldn’t require too much thought when playing against! (Tired grammar...)
This is one of the coolest conversion armies I’ve ever seen. Well done.
It is a joy to see every time it comes by the studio!
Hands down one of the most creative and incredible armies I've seen out there! Amazing work, Matt!
Thanks!!
Fantastic interview - loved it (and what an army!)
loved all the thoughtful questions you came up with. love this army as well. props to everybody; well done on this one.
I was inspired to get into warhammer because of the grot guard when i saw you play 40k in 40 mins. Thank you Matthew!
So glad to hear it! Hope you’re enjoying the hobby as much as I have over the years, keep painting and keep learning!
this is an amazing army, this is the creativity and imagination i loved most about the hobby when i started
Such a cool army! You are a master kit basher. Besides the fact that this army looks amazing, the fact that it is all GW and tournament legal is so epic!
Thanks! It’s a bucket list item to bring this to Warhammer World one day...
I am actually really blown away buy this. It's amazing, beautiful, and fun. The lore is perfect too! Imagining these little guys being so serious about the duty to the emperor is great!
Cool to see this army back, one of the most imaginative I’ve seen
Such a beautiful converted army. Marvellous!
Such an awesome army showcase. I really hope that he decides to come back on and play a match with them. He's got a really great attitude it seems as well.
He did. And you can see it right now. It’s coming on TH-cam soonish. But patrons get early access. :)
fell in love with the army the first time i sat my eyes on those. EPIC project
And things like this, is what got me into 40k. Hats off to you!
His creativity and dedication is inspiring!
this is just pure love and dedication for the hobby!
This army makes me smile
Great job ! 👍🏻 Beautiful army !
Such a fun and creative army! I love it!
Holy crap good job man
That Army is DOPE! Thanks for sharing!
This was sooooo chillll :) AMAZING VID. Keep up this content :) Love could be seen from Emperors Astronomicon

probably the coolest army I've ever seen
Amazing conversions!

Well done sir! Thank you very much for sharing your work.
Clearly my favorite army in ALL of wh40k. Meaby one day I might make my one groots conversion army
I think the best part is that this is applicable to canon lore, and doesn't break it
@@tchaika2697 I generally like armies that both look good and have story to them
Beautiful army!
easily one of the most beautiful and fun army I have seen haha, love it
This is my favourite army on this series and I'm so glad they're back
I don't say this lightly. This is the best army ever. Amazing work. Conversions are beautiful and the paint jobs are incredible.
this means a great deal to me, thank you!
Best overall army I have ever seen. That blu is fantastic! Happy life
lothern blue! happy hobby, happy life :)
What an amazing labor of love! Awesome work my dude, some really kick ass pieces!~
The army is amazing! Great job converting and painting it! Love it!
Brilliant! Do the Rough Riders!
Just finished! I used mechanical horses from the Admech line of models :)
@@Beavy Then we must see them return with the rest of the army in a video - and SOON!!!

thats just brilliant
Need to get that battle of Grots vs orks awesome army collection
Great job on these! Looks amazing!
Hobby goals right there, just awesome.
This should feature in white dwarf. So good.
Great job matt, Blue matches your shirt.
Love the Grot Guard. Always makes me smile.
We smile too!
So incredibly thoughtful. This guy has an eye for the aesthetics, and a love for the lore. What a beast!
That is sooo cool! Love it!!!
I was waiting for this :)
As a Guard player all i can say is Hell Yeah mate.
What an epic army! All I can think of is Noman's Astra Mili-grot-um army, da greatest and da greenest serving Da Emprah and his mighty 'Perium.
If you guys got a chuckle from this army, check out Noman's channel for his story playlists, particularly his story on "Da Emprah."
I watching this, glaring at my guard and ork armies
Makes me want to convert an army of ork ranged units. Like a bunch of shoota boyz in berets and tactical armor.
I now have the urge to make the Bois of Brattle, Grot Punishment engines and Boiz of battle squads, Brother Sella-Stein and his Snotty Inferiors, Morka Fryers, and Cast-a-gork'ar's, also can't forget his Kannonezz
Awesom army! Thanks for bring it!
Amazing, I would love to see a big battle with this army
this is phenomenal!
Amazing work!!!
