You said Eldritch/Lovecraftian. In "At the Mountains of Madness" by Lovecraft, the main alien race has created a type of "beast of burden" called the Shoggoths, and they are described as being formless yet able to adopt any form required by them. They were used primarily in the ocean when their masters built cities in the dark depths. I really think this should be a Shoggoths who has basically collected stray clutter from the ocean floor that it's former master's used to live on!

A Mordhaul or Death Haul. It looks like a creature of the deep ocean that collect bits of ships that have sunk under less then peaceful means and adds bits to itself. A model I would not be surprised to among the Vampire Coast faction in TW:WH2 to be honest.

The Mimickor, a Leviathan creature that lurks in the deepest depths of Sigmar’s waters. A mystique abomination of nature. Though a myth to man, but legend to gods. Nor man or God knows of it’s true origin. This creature is capable of taking many forms to fool it’s prey. If you asked Sailors of Sigmar, the story is always different…always changing. A sailor once said it was an abandoned ship with sharp teeth, others mistaken it with different sea creatures. The only thing that never changed, or was mentioned in every story was they heard the bell of Sigmar, but it’s tone was far more sinister. Sorry for the long reply, got inspired by looking at Thaumoctopus mimicus or Mimic Octopus. @Nonjon big fan of the channel and the colors of this unique octopus could be a great inspiration for painting. Look forward to you painting it up!

This was a great episode. One of the things that first drew me to minis was customising and kit-bashing miniatures, starting with Necromunda and moving onto Orks. The ramshackle nature of an Ork Army made it a paradise for my imagination and even now when I see a massive kit - like a huge terrain piece, it's all I can do not to think about pulling it apart and Frankensteining all the bits into strange new shapes and modifying dozens of characters and kits with them. This was a super-fun episode and now, having seen to kludge all these disparate pieces together into this weird nightmare hybrid, I'd love to see how your imagination could bring it all back together again with a suitably eerie and atmospheric paint scheme. Also, looking at those weird pincer tentacles, I kept thinking about Bobbit Worms. Check out footage of those suckers for amazing inspiration, they're like real-life Tyrannids.

I love kit-bashing. One thing I found useful when layering all those bits together is to primer them all black first and scrape the paint from the joining surfaces when you glue them on. It's so much easier to paint it later when everything has a uniform black finish in the spaces you can't easily reach by brush or airbrush.

This approach to kitbashing is very explorative and creative. It is like finding the creature as you build it. The opposite approach to this would be to have a plan and a design before you build it. I think that would be a good thing to see you do in a future episode, to concept sketch something out and then build it.
