Beautiful Dreamers & Slavering Beasts For The Grymkin Of Hordes
August 28, 2017 by brennon
Privateer Press continue to grow the Grymkin faction for the world of Hordes and this time around we're greeted by some fantastic looking new models starting with The Dreamer & Phantasms.
As you can see this new Warlock and her accompanying solos have truly embraced the strange and the magical. They look decidedly nicer to have around compared to some of the weird stuff we've seen from the Grymkin too.
Here's some more on her background...
"Having rejected Menoth’s reality, the Dreamer chose to live within the more pleasing confines of her own dreamworld. Existence itself conforms to her slumbering visions—or is punished for its resistance. Freed from Urcaen with the other Defiers, the Dreamer imposes her phantasmal will upon the mortals of the Iron Kingdoms."
I think this is a stunning model and once again something new and different for the world of Hordes. I like the addition of the moons around her floating dress drawing on that idea of lunacy and madness.
Sister Act
Joining this lovely lady (who I'm sure is nothing of the sort) we also have the Twilight Sisters.
"The Twilight Sisters offer grim bargains to those they meet on the perilous roads of the Iron Kingdoms. As these enigmatic witches travel, they offer aid to their grymkin fellows, all while serving their own ends and punishing the wicked for their folly. Those who renege on a pact made with the sisters quickly see their lives end amid unimaginable torment."
This pair really does add to the feeling of twisted fairy tale around Hordes and the Grymkin. It continues to show ways for the Privateer team to show off their skills creating new and interesting models and I think the Witch here, hunched over and creepy with her cauldron of ichor, looks awesome.
Rattler!
We also got a look at another of the shambling beasts that the Grymkin employs on the tabletop. Here we have the monstrous Rattler...
"Named for the jangling of the iron links that wrap it as it trembles with feral hatred for the Defiers’ corrupt foes, the gaunt rattler is the most spiteful nightmare serving the Wicked Harvest. Catching sight of the enemy throws a rattler into a mad rage, and in this frenzy it hurtles into crowds of the unfortunate to lay waste with its bladed claws."
They've gone for the nightmare fuel again with this one, wrapped in chains and with those brutal looking claws that would make Edward Scissorhands seem tame by comparison. I think it's another neat new warped monster to throw into the mix.
Are you a fan of these new Grymkin models?

Those are really nice. I am liking look of Grymkin more and more.
Picked these up last week. The dreamer and her phantasms are great miniatures.
Those are splendid. IIRC I’ve not seen a single bad mini in this range so far.
They look nice, but if you ask me they’re way off the mark when it comes to the usual WarMachine look. They might as well belong in an entirely different game.
rattler look fabulous.
Cool, new Malifaux models!
I’m surprised by Privateer Press on these. The “Alice in Horrorland” thing is a common theme, whereas they try very hard to be original in everything else. There’s nothing on these figures that tell me they are part of the Iron Kingdoms universe.
Fantastic minis, probably the most fantastic and diverse armies I can recall. Love the dreamer, good peice on the table as well.
I love these minis. The dreamer is lovely and the Khador Mouse and Skorne plush toy Titan is nice too
These look lovely. Genuine aside – gobsmacked that when I follow the links to their website in 2017 I’m presented with such a dated desktop design, and a reminder that I need to install Flash to view a 3D rotation of their models. Is that even a thing now? Tablets, phones and touch – it’s worth the investment for your commerce sites.
