Anyone noticed the artwork for the new Grotesques? Instead of the spindly old humans of the old codex, they now have the impression (and stats!) of drug-fueled Ogryns. Instead of having to wait for GW to possibly release a model for them, would you guys think that Renegade Ogryns would look good for a Grotesque.

I've always loved these models but until now have had no reason to include them in an army. Do you think that if I modelled on some drug-inducers and enhancers etc, that they would serve as a suitable Grotesgue?

Thanks,]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/321476/2007384.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/321476/2007384.page GMT Idea for new DE Grotesques.

You just want a scale model of House, MD for the WH40k, don't ya?

Well, the Grotesques always looked like zombies with little switchblades for hands. Why not try melting a few old plastic warriors in a microwave/under a head gun and mush up their features, then stick needs inside their body and paint the ends green.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/321476/2007416.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/321476/2007416.page GMT Re:Idea for new DE Grotesques. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/321476/2007448.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/321476/2007448.page GMT Re:Idea for new DE Grotesques.

I'd just buy some Mantic Ghouls (50 for 30 pounds) and green stuff more Ghouls on, using the Tzimisce from Vampire: the Masquerade and that "The Human Centipede" thing as inspiration.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/321476/2007489.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/321476/2007489.page GMT Idea for new DE Grotesques.

Yeah good point. I was just thinking that they would really show off the S5 and T5 rather than the standard human-size models. I suppose I could go for the Vampire Counts model idea and bulk them up a bit. Thanks for your ideas.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/321476/2007701.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/321476/2007701.page GMT Idea for new DE Grotesques. See why you liked them as they are tasty.
The IG conversions are good as well and may be a more economical route, but still pricey.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/321476/2007774.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/321476/2007774.page GMT Idea for new DE Grotesques.

Well, its clear that not many have seen or heard about the new DE codex

Grotesques are no longer man-sized, so suggesting using mantic or GW zombies or ghouls doesn't work.

Grotesques, for those who don't know, are now ogryn-sized models that are T5. I'd suggest using minotaurs, rat-ogres, and ogryn to make some bizarre combinations.

Wracks are the new man-sized 'grotesques' in the new codex. For Wracks, zombies and ghouls would make really good bases.

It does if you represent that ogryn-sized model as an ogryn-sized mass of slaves stitched together instead of one ogryn-sized slave.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/321476/2008704.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/321476/2008704.page GMT Idea for new DE Grotesques. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/321476/2009731.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/321476/2009731.page GMT Idea for new DE Grotesques. FW, what about the plague ogryns? those look nicley mutilated and distorted, add some dark eldar gubbins and chem dispensers via putty, remove the nurgle horn, and could be really nice.
