Hello everyone! Zak Ludick here from Cape Town, South Africa and this is a Warhammer 40k - The Great Unit Review Wheel! post!

However, on the 26th one, I have decided that it is big enough to call this series a Library!

What is it all about? It is not there to just give a stat. It is there to give MY review of the unit!

In this series, I will review one unit at a time, picking them randomly.

So let me spin the wheel again and see what I get:

Drukhari, Grotesques

10th Edition Index

It is the turn for the Dark Eldar again.

Grotesques are the creations of the Haemonculus Covens. They are made from all sorts of bodies and flesh that have been expertly and painfully grafted to each other. Modified with growth stimulants and driven mad so they butcher whomever their creators set them on.

They are currently 90pts for 3 or 180pts for 6 of them in a unit.

Let's see their stats.

Stats

Movement 7" (fast!)
Toughness 5 (tough)
Save 6+/6++/5+++(armor/invul/Feel No Pain) Armor is basically nothing, small invul save and then 5+ Feel No Pain for incoming damage.
Wounds 4 (This is a lot of wounds per unit, equal to a Terminator holding a Storm Shield)
Ld 6+
OC 1

Weapons

Ranged:
Liquifier gun
12" Range, D6 shots, Hittings automatically, S4, AP-1, Damage 1
Devastating Wounds

Basically flamers with some AP.

Melee:
Monstrous weapons
4 Attacks, Hitting on 3+, Strength 5, Ap -1 and 2 Damage each.

Abilities

Mindless Killing Machines
When a Grotesque dies in melee, if they have not yet hit, roll a 4+, if successful that model gets to make its attacks before being removed from play.

All in all this unit is somewhat an annoyance. They have a fair toughness and the invuls and feel no pain make them as durable as a Space Marine... I guess... I would have to roll it out and see what I come up with...

Lots of wounds and a fair damage dealing ability means above all that you cannot really afford to ignore them and if nothing else, these guys can take and hold objectives!

Thank you for reading!
