Explore More Of The Creepy & Odd Upcoming Grymkin
May 15, 2017 by brennon
Adding to the weird and wonderful world of the Grymkin in Hordes, being added into the mix from Privateer Press, we have some amazing new sculpts to check out. We had to start with The Dreamer...
This really does turn the world of Warmahordes and Immoren on its head, bringing in a whole new theme and aesthetic to the game world. It's awesome to see this faction, which feels so at odds with the rest of the world, making such a splash with some original characters.
For example, we also have the Twilight Sisters. The world of Immoren is filled with all manner of different factions and peoples and you can just imagine these characters being summoned to life through myth and legend.
Some of the characters we don't quite have names for included these rather sickeningly brutal Gremlins riding hobby horses. Thing is, the horse's heads are real!
We also have these crawling horrors, coming up from beneath the streets. As mentioned above I think the aesthetic for this new faction is fantastic and maybe it's just what the world of Warmachine needed to make the game feel less like a solid wall of heavy metal, and more like the Fantasy world, it represents.
What do you make of the Grymkin and are you going to be choosing them as your faction?
Let us know in the comments...

Gremlins… on hobby horses… GREMLINS… HOBBY HORSES…
Damn, I have to lay my hands on these.
whimsy fairy tale stylings, love it. would they be my faction of choice? no contest.
the rise of fairy tale continues.
Don’t you open that trap door!
‘cos there’s something down there…
Berk …… Feed me
Genuinely superb sculpts, very fable with a real sense of whimsy.
They remind me of the Neverborn from Malifaux.
You are not alone.
All together, the whole new faction has an Old Malifaux feel to it. They don’t remind me of Wyrd’s plastic lineup, but they’re pretty similar to the old metal minis.
Which I think is nice- I miss those old metal Wyrd minis.
When a faction is full of models you want to paint, it really is a ball out of the park hit for me.
Neighslayers are even more stunning that I thought they would be from the art.
This is a gorgeous faction…. I can’t actually wait until the book drops so I can get some more of the fluff ( *sigh….. still fluffy at heart) … and the Strangelight Investigations novel looks good too (think X-Files meets Fantasy Steampunk)
I don’t think that the Warmachine aesthetic has been so shaken up since the introduction of Hordes.
And they all look really good.
The fact that remind me of Neverborn was worrying enough, without them now having a Teddy of their own too.
But I have pre-ordered the box set coming out week 1
Really nice, but I’m confused…are they all for Neverborn ?
Hoping the Arcanists will get some love next month 🙂
Anyone know if Gristle and Flay will turn up here? Talk about nightmare fuel.
Those are very nice and really unique looking for Hordes faction. Sure we have seen similar in systems like Malifaux but not before this in Hordes.
Never thought it would be PP that would get me into Malifaux.
I like a lot of these. I really like the Dreamer and the Twilight Sisters the most. The Neigh Slayers are really nice as well.
Can’t wait to get my hands on these models.
More and more tempting. I finally get to play a war game with wicked witches in it!
oh those hobby horse gremlins are genius! if only the shaft was coming out through their skulls they could be unicorns! 😉
I have only played Cryx since I started in MK2, but the Grymkin look set to be my first Hordes faction.
