Welp, all my ebay bits came in the mail yesterday, so of course I spent the entire evening converting up my first two grotesques for my planned unit of 4. I'm likely going to grab a bunch of Sslyth as well, so that I have two different T5 retinue options for my archon to jump into, depending on points and utility.
These are made from Island of Blood rat ogres, with Talos face masks, weapon arms, and vials added (and a decent amount of hidden green stuff work):
Honestly, I'm not sold on the talos weapons - they look so cool, but they're almost cartoonishly large for the grotesques to be wielding. If they were just a litttttttle bit smaller in proportion, they'd be perfect fits - but as it stands, they're going to take some creative basing to prevent them from looking like mouth breathing knuckle draggers.
Although I guess, if I were a haemonculus, I'd absolutely give my grotesques some oversized weapons, because who cares right? So maybe it works out in the end. I don't know, let me know what you think! Oh, and if anyone has 4x 40mm round bases...I need them desperately. Cash or hand jobs in payment.
