    Default Wracks and Grotesques

    Having recently got my hands on the new codex, I'm interested in doing a haemonculi themed army i.e Urien, lots of grotesques and wracks, talos e.t, but I'm stumped on how to convert wracks and grotesques. I can'f find any suitable components or ideas, so I was wondering if any of you have any ideas?

    TL;DR How could I convert wracks?

    See i haven't ot my codex yet (grrrr) but aren't Wracks and Grotesques tortured prisoners basically?

    I'm think Zombie bits with bits of who the prisoner was in a pat life.....

    As for Grotesques thinking some of the big fantasy monsters, with life support systems, cybernetics and the like...
    Autarch, Shas'o, Chaos Lord and Decadant Lord of the Webway. And a Doctor!

    Zombies are good as a base for the wracks, but giving them a more sci-fi aesthetic is the hard part.

    1. Grotesques i've seen just Rat Ogres being used. Adding Warpfire Throwers etc.

    2. Wracks are more difficult. I'm using Flagellants with pipes, chainswords, and all sorts of stuff cut into them. GS stitching etc into them.
    Back after a few years absence. Please PM me any changes to how the forum works - I currently have no idea how to make line breaks, and this is quite important to me. >.>

    This is what I have so far, but I've only just started my army:

    I've been thinking crypt ghouls, myself.
    As for not being 40K-like enough... wracks don't have any futuristic equipment. They've got tough skin, and two poisoned weapons (which, honestly, could be implanted claws if the haemonculi wanted). Anybody with a liquifier gun or other upgrade could be given a gun of some kind, but just straight-up crypt ghouls seem fine to me for the basic guys.

    The're a little small though. LOTR minis are 25 mm true scale and Warhammer is 28mm Heroic scale (bigger/beffier than real life).
