Warshrine Chaos Mutants as Grotesques

I have built some Grotesques for my Coven Detachment to use as a Grotesquerie Formation. I was wondering if this has been done before? I am trying to put these pictures up but its hard to make it work, its my first time i publish on this forum

work in progress obviously, but all ideas and tips are welcome

I am liking them, Maybe get some green stuff and get some DE like Armour plates on them. All in all I like the idea and good job.

They're looking pretty good. But buying a £35 kit for only two Grots isn't exactly cost efficient.

Very nice... they look phenomenal. Looks like they just crawled out of the depths of lower Commoragh. Did you bits order them?

thanks guys! Yeah I bought the bodies from Hoardobits or somthing similar, i think 4 USD a pop, not too shabby.

I thought since the grots from the grotesquerie are experimental and everyone are fielding super-fit bane-bigfoot-crossovers (no hating), I thought maybe mine are experimented with to give them a nice feel no pain ring to their body mass. I will def think of making some green stuff plating on them, thanks for the idea.

They match my haemonculus quite well, too. Epimetheus:



also WIP

No offense, but he still looks too much like a Nurgle champion, and generally more like an Aberration than a Haemonculus IMO.
I think he needs some vials attached, an extended spine and a weapon that is less obviously a Mon-Keigh flamethrower.

as i said, work in progress. I like the idea to have a fat Haemon, to go with my formation. But vials, absolutely. And Im not sure what to make of my giant rotting axe, a meat axe would be better fluff wise.

Anyway, here is the wip Raider for one of the squads!

still work in progress I have to rat ogres as grot friends until my next box of mutants come in

I'm liking what I see! The 3 headed Grot is the best! Man these are some freaky looking models... super hideous... but in a good way!

Now that is an awesome conversion!

I was going for using the head as prow to make liquifyers spew out poisoned fumes from its dragon mouth.. but people seem set on the prow not being part of the hull so thats a loss. The second raider is going to be a aracknarok spider built in

You can't really build a Raider or Ravager without the prow though, unless you replace it with something else. If you don't attach anything to the front, there would be a hole. It's meant to be a standard part of the model, regardless if it is used as a Shock Prow or not. And I'm pretty sure the passengers wouldn't mind standing on it, as long as it isn't electrified.
Anyway, you could still make the head "breathe" plasma by making it count as a Disintegrator Cannon.

thanks, if you look close there is a mutant head with two faces incorporated in the chest as well, kind of hard to see and even harder on the game board. you see it if you look hard though, i like that its suttle and not all in your face (pun not intended).



They played their first match recently but as a normal coven detachment. for grots in the dragon raider above with double haemonculus with one scissorhand each and no upgrades on the grots (the boat had cloak shields and dark lance) they smashed their way through two squads of marines, the psyker and a ten soldier vanguard squad on overwatch. With the help from it will not die they had regenerated all wounds at the end of the game, with a gunship hovering above them shooting, thunderfire cannon and predator aiming at them.

I stil lost the game lol 7-6 but it was a great game indeed.

I was thinking of using that model as a haemy as well though I intend on having acid spewing out of his stomach hole.

the first coven raider is done
