Grotesque Conversion

Hi, I'm looking to field some Grotesques but I'm really against their models. I'm running The Hex as my coven and in the lore they have enslaved a Genesteal cult, so I was thinking of converting a box of Abberants with my Talos bitz into a bunch of Grotesques. Anyone know see any issues with that?

I'm playing almost exclusively with close friends, if that changed anything.

I can't see anyone having a problem with that. Adding the DE bits will make it clear. Personally, I would paint them to look all gross and experimental. I think those factors will make it completely evident what everyone is supposed to be looking at.

Extra talos masks go a long way on any grotesque conversion. I have board game conversions, chaos spawn conversions, an ork warboss. They go a long way to tie things together.

I reeeaally like the the art on the grotesque lore page (p71) of the Drukhari book. Both the daikatana and the battle axe grotesques are awesome. I think aberrants could capture that same feel with talos masks, weapon swaps, and those little talos manipulator arms sprouting from their backs.

I'm using these models for mine, and none of my friends question it.

They are very tedious to assemble though.

You could possibly try messing around with some tyrant guard or tyranid warriors, for a more nid-like look, otherwise I'm not as knowledgeable on gene cult
