I'm kind of thinking the concept of being a grot would be cool especially if you could ride a squig like grot calvary
Controlling grotz while waiting for the respawn (if its a long timer, maybe after a few consecutive deaths) would be neat.
funnier if your grot could actually interact with grots around them. If a bunch of PC boyz start chilling out the Grots would emote as well after a while, yelling at each other, maybe swinging a punch, or laughing when one of them falls down.
Still think player controlled grots would have a great purpose ingame. Dakka needs ammo. turrets need manning (orking lol) ect. You want a support class, BAM there they are. With of course their own flavor for attacking. because they are Orks at the end of the day. Not some lame cultist or w/e
well A slaver could definitely have Grot Minions as pets and can be used as either cover for Orks behind it or a steady wall of reliable (I be it by ork standards) medium range fire support.
OOOOOOo grot minions as pets, i like that idea, strap a bomb to them and watch them run straight at the enemies line and go BBOOOMMM!!!!!
I will be rather disappointed if they do not incorporate exploding squigs in the game in some fashion =(
