Inquisitor Red Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Hey so I'm looking to convert some models into Grotesques and I have a fluff question. Do the Haemonculus create Grotesques only out of Dark Eldar slaves or can they pull from other species as well? Such as Orgrn, Space Marines, T'au, Tyranids, etc?

Commander Dawnstar Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 The Codex says that they usually begin their existence as Drukhari, which is really as good as saying that you're in the clear to convert them out of whatever you want. Even if that wasn't there I'd still feel very confident saying that there absolutely will be Haemonculi out there who dabble in transforming non-eldar subjects into horrifying over-muscled monstrosities fit only for killing.

Lord_Caerolion Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 You think the Haemonculi would accept being told "no, you can't make a Grotesque out of that Ogryn"?

Wolf Guard Dan Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Isn't there a fluff piece about Urien taking a bunch of Tau in a cultural exchange, turning them into grots, and then releasing them back on the Tau. I am sure Grots can be made out of anything. Covens take raw material and break it down to whatever bit they want and then rebuild it how they please. Haemonculi can literally (not figuratively) do whatever they want. They have the technology.

Lord_Caerolion Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 "We have the technology, we can rebuild him! Stronger! Faster! Better!" "Sir, this is a gretchin..." "Silence, Wrack number 436! As punishment, hand me your left leg. That's at least a start in increasing his biomass..."

That's the War of Dark Revelations, yeah.
