Check out these hot new minis from Grim-Skull!

ERADICATOR-SEALED

I’m a fan of companies showing us different visions of the grim dark and Grim Skull is no exception because a lot of their models are females.

ERADICATOR-SEALED-G1

True Story, gamers love chicks. Who would have guessed?

FEMALE-MECHANICUS-TECHPRIEST-1

These models come well protected and in cool little blister pack style. They’re amazingly well detailed; the hair, skulls, respirator are all top notch. The cog wheel like ax looks great. These are done on a computer so everything is just really crisp and sharp; the way you want it to be.

ERADICATOR-SEALED-A8

Grim Skull uses Smooth On Resin, made in the USA, which also supplies Forge World; they know what they’re doing and they put out a good product.

FEMALE-MECHANICUS-TECHPRIEST-3

They’re several different version of each style of model with unique bits. The bases are highly detailed and fit in well in the Grim Dark Universe. I think you could use them as a tech priest for guard. They’re a bit too small to use as a Dominus. The detail work in the wires is just top quality. It’s ridonkulous.

As far as the clothing goes, something tells me it gets really hot on those forge world, all that molten metal, so clothing is optional.

KASTELAN

They also have Castellan-type walkers, so instead of the treads, you could have a walker. It’s got both a male and female pilot which is really neat. It’s all attaches and the tolerances are tight.

KASTELAN-F-9

I’m also a big fan of the Kataton Battle Servitor. He’s rocking a huge gun on a 40mm base. oh, and he’s rocking a sweet claw. The face is super well detailed. The kit fits in with the rest of the army is just gives you some really unique options for your Mechanicum army.

KATATON-3-7
