New Grymkin Renders Show What’s Creeping Into Hordes
April 20, 2017 by brennon
If you're liking the look of the Grymkin from Privateer Press for Hordes then you'll want to check out these new renders that appeared online showing off some of the upcoming characters and units available as the faction expands.
Leading the way is this lady who appears to have been surrounded with pesky little imps clambering all over her. We know her name, Lady Kiranna Rose, and it will be fun seeing how she fits into the wider collection for the Grymkin going forward. She certainly has an unassuming but dangerous look about her.
The Creepy & The Creepier!
Following on from her we have a strange contraption and something decidedly more creepy too. First off is the Death Knell which looks like it has been lifted right out of a fairytale world.
This creation shows just how inventive they've been getting at Privateer Press, using the Grymkin as an excuse to do something completely different and off the wall. It's nice to see them being allowed to experiment and go in a different direction to bring a new lease of life to the narrative and it's aesthetic.
The 'heroic' nature of the sculpts still feels Hordes but with a twist. This grave keeper with his creepy bell no doubt heralds something unfortunate coming your way.
Maybe The Child might have something to say about that?
If anyone has played Malifaux then you'll be getting shades of The Dreamer from this. Once again it's giving us a different slice of the world that Hordes and Warmachine inhabits and introducing recognisable monster designs but in a new way. You could have a lot of fun painting this range too.
Imps!
We finish off with some of the Imps that have been talked about in past videos with the Privateer Press crew. The Glimmer Imp is first up, dressed in his finery and yet no less dark and dangerous for his attire.
He is then joined by the rather quirky looking Cask Imps. This aesthetic for Hordes is something that seems to be bringing a few more players into the world.
The core factions have been joined by fringe factions before with the Cephalyx, who gave the game a different aesthetic when they were released too. Whilst the Cephalyx fitted into the urban environments of Immoren the Grymkin fill the role of what lies out there in rural pastures.

What do you think of the Grymkin?
"First off is the Death Knell which looks like it has been lifted right out of a fairytale world..."
That cart is the best miniature I have seen in…. forever.
Anyone know how much this is likely to be? I need to paint it. I NEEEEEED TO!
These are fabulous minis, I love privateer’s stuff I just wish I could get a game … sigh
Those do look really good.
Boy that Death Knell is a great design, PP is already gunning for one of the BoW mini of the year awards eh 😉
Even if I never use them in a Hordes game, I really want these models.
As models go, I’m a fan… but I’m having a really hard time fitting them into WarmaHordes…. Everyone else is running around with guns and blades powered with lightning or vicious steam-powered cannons and hammers… and then you have gremlins in wooden barrels and a single horse drawn wagon accompanied by musical gremlins? I dunno… just seems too odd for me at them moment.
man that wagons good, I mean really really good . I haven’t played since first edition but this is definitely right up my street. I would certainly like to get my hands on the wagon at some point if nothing else.
I have to say i’m over the moon at the fairy tale stylings that have started to appear of late, tough to get more magical than fairy tales.
The cart is cool, I can imagine the things playing instruments like a new orleans band…. but it all kind of looks like rip-offs of Malifaux.
Agreed, I like the sculpts but it just looks so very, very Malifaux. Not sure why I would buy into a new game for that when there is already Malifaux in my collection. Or the Other Side for that matter.
Yes, because Malifaux created supernatural stuff 😉
We all know they didn’t, they just made it cool.
No, Malifaux did not create supernatural stuff, but @necromancer120 the simliarities in style, combination of fantasy/faerie/steam punk elements and aesthetics doesen’t leave a lot of ground between this faction and a lot of stuff in the malifaux line.
I quite like that these are a bit of a step out of Warmahordes (is that how you say it?) world- it just makes them seem more uncanny and creepy. With the possible exception of The Child, these designs put me in mind of the kind of chldren’s book illustration which I would have been drawn to as a child despite them totally freaking me out. May be an excuse to put together a little army just to paint, then seeing if I can get a game in.
More power to you if you like them 🙂
The deathknell is the stand out piece the gremlin band escort makes it for me. I really like the range, characterful, varied and more than a little whimsical. Plus they are interesting on the table, so going to be slowly picking up a force of these and painting – unless I splurge on an army box….
These models look great but as others have said it is very Malifaux. You could easily see these in the Malifaux universe.
Wow… They look just like Malifaux… Seems very not in the same universe.
Weird.
