Howdy Dakkites, just thought I would post of few pictures of some of my (WIP) converted Grotesques.




Check my sig for more pictures.
C&C welcome

damn they look Vicous man

nice and gruesome,i like the pyramid head lookalike.

Sweet 'tetrahedron-head'!
I must state that tetrahedron head is not associated,inpired by or affiliated with Pyramid head.

The pyramid head was completely by accident. I have a bunch of wracks too, and the way I make them is the way I think a Heamunculus would, that is, grab a bunch of things that look dangerous and stick them on your "patients", see what happens.

Only after It was done did I I realize that I had a pyramid head look-alike. Sort of wish I had given it a knife now.

Saying a dark eldar model looks like pyramid head is an amazing compliment.

Pretty sick. I would say touch up the GS a bit, if you can. Just flesh out the details a bit more.

Still, very cool conversions! Paint them!!

The pyramid head was a very nice "accident". I know I am copying it for sure on my next two. If you end up making a few more and want to have a different look to them, try using chaos spawn. I have a few pics in my gallery of some that I made.

Okay, here is Grotesque Number One, painted:

More muscles.

Oh hey, both painted to a table standard, one of the two is based, so yay, HIGH FIVE:


Here's the pretty pair:

Pyramid head FTW! The other head I like cause its weird kinda experiment gone wrong look...but its also a little bland with all that flat space. Other than that great work and Great use of A otherwise hideous model.

Love the idea and they look really good, but I agree with touching up the GS. Please don't leave it sloppy.

WOW dude... the green stuff is a little messy but conceptually these are amazing! ...I am really impressed.

They are very Grotesque!

*repeatedly shot by Liquidfiers for the horrible pun*
(That's a compliment)

You know what I would have done with the bubble head one? I would have ordered a bunch of the eyes that come with a Chaos Spawn and randomly stuck them around the head

Nah, this isn't a chaos spawn. The helmet looks good as is and actually looks like the one in the codex.

I'm aware that it isn't a Chaos Spawn, just because it's the source of the parts dosen't mean it magically turns into the unit.

I couldn't agree more. Heck my Grotesques were made from mostly Chaos Spawn parts. Body, legs, arms, spikes, and all.

No need to be offended, I was merely stating that the guys models look perfectly fine the way they are lol.

Oh trust me it takes alot more then that to ofend me, but none the less what I said stands. And saying that the model is fine the way it is is your opinion just like me saying the eyes would look good on it is my opinion.

I love the one with the alien maw-but great job on both!

God damn it I need some Green Stuff!
