I'm stepping away from the cryx for a bit as I've become a bit bored of them and going to focus on my skorne, now I've not really played as a horde player plenty of time against them so it should be something that I can look forward to and hopefully enjoy and try and win a few games!
so I'm going to run with the following 35 point list for a couple of games to see how I get on with them, now the idea was planted in my head by a fellow warmachine player who has a knack of coming up with filthy lists...
"chain gang tier list" 35 points
Dominar Rasheth +5 warbeast points
Bronzeback titan +9 (-1 for tier one benefit)
Titan Gladiator +7 (-1 for tier one benefit)
Titan Gladiator +7 (-1 for tier one benefit)
Agonizer x2
Paingiver beast handlers (4 man unit)
Paingiver task master
Gatorman Posse (3 man unit)
so its about as subtle as a brick in a handbag the chain gang theme really pays off at 35 points with 3 titans! both agonizers fully loaded with fury and an extra 2" deployment with the three titans, the gatormen get +2" movement on there first turn
so I suppose the question is what would you do for a 35 point skorne list??
so I painted these guys up that I've had for a while is the best way to describe it! the colour scheme was suggested to me by Spencer a while back and I really like the contrast rather than the usual bright red of the skorne,
and I also decided to paint an agonizer...
I wanted the model to look well abused and this is where the washes really came in useful with giving it a grimey look and bloodied as well...
The Blast from the past is a case that I found whilst decorating the nursery.....
now these boys are really really old! working it out via the medium of ex girlfriends/nutters I'm guessing at about 8-9 years old? I remember I was working for GW when I had these and the Phat cats club was at the original venue. I suppose these will come out if and when the necrons get a revamp....
Thanks for nicking my scheme, you git :P
ReplyDeleteyea yea yea, you've been threating to paint your skorne in the royal colour scheme for over a year now and have we seen it?
ReplyDeletenope!
anyway think of it as a complment that i've "stolen" your colour scheme!! LOL ;)
I do have a tester model done, and done before you finished any of yours so there!
ReplyDeleteI suggested this scheme as soon as I saw it in Metormorphasis...and promptly suggested it to Ant when he bough my stuff off me.
ReplyDeleteThese wouldn't be the first skorne Ant has done in this colour scheme lol ;)
Looking good man. As for the 3pts...how about upgrading a Titan to a Bronzeback and upgrading the Beast Handlers. Or, drop a Titan, upgrade the remaining to have 2 x Bronzebacks, then that should leave you 8pts...just the right amount to have a Minimum unit of Cataphract Acuarii (guys with Harpoons). You know you'd love the minis and the ability to drag stuff towards you! lol
Turns out the Acuarii are only 6pts for a min unit...that would leave you 2pts for maybe another Agoniser??
ReplyDeleteCan you take Marketh in Fatty's tier list for those 3 points?
ReplyDeletena but I've had a gander and its not a bad model I might put another minion unit in there produces a smoke screen type thing?
