I'm afraid the only GW figure I had to hand was an old TK skeleton. (The other is a Stargrave model.)
One of the Youtubers said they're about the right size for Grot tanks, though I can't confirm that.
I'm not sure if these are the same ones that Luke82 recently bought. If so, maybe he can give a second opinion.
I think it needs a bit more something. Probably some extra armour panels. I did have a GW plastic one glued on the side of the turret, but I thought it looked too thick. I'm wondering whether to try bits of cardboard or foam.

I had to trim the back end off this gun, but then it fit surprisingly well. It even had a couple of nubs on the side that just about fit the brackets from the original gun.

I didn't get much done last week, because of the heatwave, but prior to that I had been making some progress that I hadn't yet shared...

I was thinking of making this one Evil Sunz.* I think that suits the low-slung hull.
I'm not so sure about the turret. (Unfortunately, while the turrets can be swapped from one hull to another, they don't always fit so well - particularly where you want them to rotate.) At least the sides of the turret will give me space to put a sun glyph.
I ordered a WFB orc shield sprue off eBay for that. (I'm sure I already have some somewhere, but it was likely quicker and easier to buy some more than to find them...)
And this is Tonk #3:

As you can see, this one is a Bad Moon.
The picture shows the rear, rather than front. I had a spare exhaust piece from some ork sprue (Trukk perhaps?). I trimmed it down, but then it turned out to fit quite nicely from a screw hole underneath and up the back of the tank.
*I'm not sure whether Grotz really belong to the klans, but I assume they would imitate them. Anyway, my plan is to have each tank a different klan, so they're clearly distinct for game play purposes.
