Grotesque: Glamour Shots!

Here are the in-focus shots of the Dark Eldar Grotesques. I enjoyed kit-bashing these guys, even though my heart still waaaaghs for Orks. Picture above is my Aberration with Flesh Gauntlet. I dub thee "Captain Bad Touch."

"Clamps" with possible Scissor-hand. Too cool of a wargear name not to represent.

"Uncle Wiggly" I threw the tails back on his arm and placed a Tyranid Warrior arm. DE mess around with Nids right?

"Simmone" with his drill, stolen from a Killa Kan.

"Tequila" with his Liquifier gun. Reference anyone?

Back tank is a Deff Dread Skorcha with the burna end cut off.

Rat Ogres to Grotesques: "Feed my Frakenstein(s)"

I am converting Skaven Rat Ogres (WFB) to Dark Eldar Grotesques (W40k). I don't much care for the official GW models because they seem boring. I want something more how do I say...Grotesque? I was telling my brother from another mother that I've seen Rat Ogres as an awesome base for the conversion. Thus, the great Converto-Unit Swap of 2012 was born!

I'm making the Grotesques, while he is making me a unit of Team Fortress 2 Orks. I am getting the better deal in that trade IMO.

The Tools of the Trade

 ++ 4 Island of Blood Rat Ogres + 1 Screaming Bell Ogre (bought from Lazarus Games on eBay)
++ Clippers bought from Micheal's (Craft Store) Gardening section for $1
++ Razor Blade for MOLD LINES or cutting my fingers
++ Loctite Super-Glue (I've tried Zap-a-Gap and Gorilla Glue, neither impressive)
++ The Masks from the Talos kit (bought from Horde o' Bits on eBay)
++ Liquifier Gun and Gauntlet from Talos kit (see above)
++ Oatmeal Stout beer (I prefer hard cider)
++ Rocky Horror Picture Show's "Sweet Transvestite on loop (<3 Tim Curry, so Dark Eldar)

Step 1: Cut Those Tails. MAZEL TOV!

Step 2: Get Chopping and Gluing
Here is where I am at so far, I am pretty satisfied. I might slap some little bits here are there, but stick a fork in them, they are 90% in my eyes.

I will get better (non-cellphone) pictures of the little Frankenstein in another post.
