Dark Eldar Grotesques

[odinsgrandson]

This is a unit of Grotesques that I painted up on commission a little while ago.

I don't know why GW didn't make a plastic kit for these guys- the cool pose the resin mini has looks superbly silly when you have four or five of them in the unit.

So, part of this commission was to re-pose some of them (I had some other Dark Eldar bits to help with this, because I've added quite a few things to this force over the years).

Here they are:

There are people who don't just convert them out of Rat Ogres/Crypt Horrors?

Look nice though, with your work.

Thanks.

Yeah, I've seen a lot of those Rat-ogre conversions, and I've seen a few other things that would work well also (if you're not going all GW, Privateer Press makes some Cephylax Monstrocities that would do quite nicely).

Yep, Crypt Horrors!

Done it twice now, Talos bits help A LOT! :)

BTW, your models look awesome!

Ah, Crypt horrors are a good choice for those conversions. The bones sticking out of them offer logical locations for all of those canisters.
