![]() The Monstrous Cleaver is their default option, granting one extra attack in the same manner as a Chainsword but striking at S+0 AP-2 Dmg1 not exceptional stats, but more than servicable against most targets. Grotesques each come with a pair of melee weapons, though one of them typically sees way more use than the other. Various Obsessions can help enhance this, which we’ll talk about more in a minute. Their only other ability is Insensible to Pain, which grants them a 5+ invulnerable save- and since their armor save is practically nonexistent, this serves as their main protection.

They benefit from a 7″ movement just like other Drukhari infantry do, but their stats are otherwise quite exceptional. ![]() Grotesques, not truly being Drukhari at all but rather creations of the covens, have a fairly different statline than most everything else in the codex- much to their own benefit.
