WH40K - Horrible Gribbly THING from the WARP!

I was reading the article about the sculpting of the shokk attack gun in the latest Australian WD and the fluff described a horrible, gribbly thing emerging from the warp. Now, that would be a conversion project!
I think I will make two separate models:

1) A space marine (possibly a Terminator, so there is more surface area to mess with). He would re-posed to look tortured and twisted, and bits of snotling will stick out of his joints and any gaps in his armour.

2) A horrible, gribbly thing made up from the bits of about three space marines, smashed together in a roughly humanoid shape, but combined with demon bits (green stuff) and snotling bits.

I am thinking silly ideas like a screaming snotling peeking out of his knee plates, snotling arms and legs visible in the joints and gaps. I'm not very experienced with greenstuff, so I just think I will separate the marine armour into its components, joined by tentacles and stretched fleshy looking parts, blended into hideously distorted snotling and marine faces. The basic form will still be humanoid, but blended, twisted, warped. A couple of spikes and tentacles couldn't hurt. Tentacles that end in mutated, screaming snotlings!

Sorry, I just paused to wipe some spit off the monitor.

The thing is, I haven't been able to buy the Ork Codex yet, and I am wondering if there is any reason to put this thing on the tabletop - ie a misroll on the Shokk Attack table, or am I just thinking this up because I am bonkers?
