Grotesque Conversion Part 3

Now that ive got some 50mm bases for my grotesques(40mm seemed to small and 65 was way to big so i had to find someone who manufactured 50mm bases heres the link to where i found mine but people may be able to find cheaper

Basically what ive done since last update is added base coat to my first grotesque (solomon grundy), i also added some green stuff around the drug dispensor thing on his shoulder to make it look more like it was imbedded in his skin, i also plan to do this on the ones on his arms as well.

I have also started to work on my screaming bell grotesque, what ive done is ive cut his left arm off at the elbow and repositioned it at a different angle and i intend on making the hand into a scissorhand, i have also cut off the top part of the chain and also moved the chain from under his hand and made it look like it goes into his chest, all thats left to do on him is add some spikes to his back and i also plan on sticking one of the thieving grots in his hand, which will take a bit of work as i will have to try and open the hand a bit as well as drill it out to make room for him, but once its done it should look pretty cool.

Also you may be wondering why they all have names....It all started with my harlequins where i had decided to do my troupe master up as 'the joker' along with the shadowseer as 'harley quinn' the death jester as 'bob the goon' from Tim Burtons 'Batman the movie', with the rest of the harlequins being joker goons with names taken from the 60's Batman series (they are all named after legendary comedians)....i also wanted to do one of the gorilla looking island of blood grotesques up as 'Bane', who just so happens to be from batman as well....so that basically made me want to do the rest like that....in the future i may do some of my other Dark Eldar as Batman or other DC villains.

I also did a picture of one of them standing next to a marine for those who arent familiar with rat ogres sizes....i for one not being a fantasy player was not until i actually got them....

* Some of the photos turned out a little fuzzy for some reason, probably cause i have bad lighting here at the time of day i chose to take these *
