The tenacious and vicious nature of the cyclops brutes makes them singularly responsive to training, and the skorne rely on them to hold the flanks of formations or stand vigil over tyrants. Armed with towering shields and massive polearms, brutes constitute a virtually insurmountable threat on the battlefield. Their unique vision focuses on evading blows, and they can extend this power to those they protect.

Enslaved by the skorne as implements of war, cyclops savages are prized for their viciousness and battle prowess. They come from a brutish, carnivorous species that live to hunt and kill and possess uncanny skill in combat due to their innate ability to see into the future. Their complex and sensitive single eye demonstrates unusual perceptiveness, allowing them to see exactly how to penetrate a foe’s defenses. SPECIAL NOTE: PIP 74068 contains the same Mk II stat card as PIP 74004. The model in this box represents the same figure in the game. However, the model in PIP 74068 is a new sculpt and therefore looks different from the model found in PIP 74004. In addition, this model is plastic rather than metal. The replaced PIP will no longer be available from Privateer Press beginning January 1, 2013.

Favoured warbeasts of the Skorne, the versatile Titans can be conditioned and equipped for a variety of battlefield roles. The Titan gladiator is armed with massive spiked war gauntlets and uses its weapons and its armoured body to pulverize enemy troops and warbeasts. The Titan Cannoneer is a mobile siege engine, blasting apart enemy formations with its gargantuan siege cannon. Finally, the Titan Sentry is a living wall, immovable and nearly impervious to enemy attacks behind its heavy shield and thick armour.

SPECIAL NOTE: PIP 74057 contains the same Mk II stat cards as PIP 74007, PIP 74008, and PIP 74046. The model in this box represents the same figures as those PIPs in the game. However, the model in PIP 72057 is a new sculpt and therefore looks different from the models found in those PIPs. In addition, this model is plastic rather than metal. PIP 74007, 74008, and 74046 will no longer be available from Privateer Press beginning May 1, 2012.

This Hordes blister contains one model.

Chiron is one of the greatest basilisks ever broken to the skorne lash, and his subjugation attests to Beast Master Xekaar’s perfection of the art of physical conditioning through pain. The beast’s physical might is matched only by the power of his destructive gaze. Entire ranks of foes wither to dust as Chiron sweeps his cold eyes across them, and enemy warbeasts tear apart their own flesh in agony at his barest glance.

Having shown a keen aptitude for communing with those preserved from the Void, extoller advocates are sometimes chosen to play a more direct role in the empire’s conflicts, employed to coordinate exalted on the battlefield. In addition to bolstering the combat effectiveness of immortals in their charge, extoller advocates will not hesitate to put themselves in harm’s way in order to fulfill the sacred duty of recovering and preserving sacral stones from fallen immortals and guardians.

Each agonizer embodies pain and manifests its misery as an aura afflicting those around it. This horribly abused infant Titan radiates its suffering with such force that it can suck the vitality and strength from attacking warbeasts and cripple an enemy's assault before any blows are struck. Death comes as sweet relief after the continual torment these creatures endure. contents: this blister pack contains 1x Skorne Agonizer

Aptimus Marketh is one of the most accomplished extollers in the Skorne Empire. He is so focused on the arts of ancestral magic that he prefers the company of venerated ancestor spirits housed within sacral stones to that of his living peers. Though somewhat aloof, his magical prowess is unmistakable and Aptimus Marketh is frequently sought out to lend his skill to the most worthy of skorne warlocks. contents: this blister pack contains 1x Skorne Aptimus Marketh

Basilisk Drakes unleash waves of entropic energy that slough skin from bone and part muscles as if roasted. Their attack severs the fundamental connections binding matter together and can grind stone to dust and shear through metal. The Drake's gruesome bite destroys armour and flesh with equal ease, and its very presence causes nearby Basilisk Kreas to fight with greater ferocity. contents: this blister pack contains 1x Skorne Basilisk Drake

Skorne Bloodrunner Master Tormentor. contents: this blister pack contains 1x Skorne Bloodrunner Master Tormentor

Cataphract arcuarii are imposing warriors encased in extremely thick and finely lacquered armor. Arcuarii wield great hooked harpoons called arcus that can be brought to bear in close quarters or fired across the battlefield to impale enemies and drag them close. Once enemies are dragged in, the arcuarii use their barbed blades to put the foes to a brutally efficient end.

The imposing Arcuarii are encased in extremely thick lacquered armour capable of withstanding an onslaught of punishment that renders them almost impervious to normal attacks. They wield great hooked harpoons that can be wielded in close quarters or fired across the battlefield to sink deeply into an adversary. As a group they are skilled and efficient killers capable of defeating any lesser foe.

This Hordes blister pack contains 1 Skorne Cataphract Arcuarius

The Cetrati embody perfect Skorne discipline and fearless tenacity. A wall of these warriors charging across the field, with their shields locked and their wicked polearms aimed forward, will crush through lines of lesser infantry and bring down warbeasts. They are the hard centre of the Skorne army. They are the first to fight and the last to fall. contents: this boxed set contains 4x Skorne Cataphract Cetrati

Cyclops Savages are brutish and carnivorous creatures from eastern Immoren that live to hunt and kill. Their limited ability to see into the future is key to their amazing intuition in battle where they can see exactly how to evade blows or adjust their movements to penetrate a foe's defences. contents: this blister pack contains 1x Skorne Cyclops Savage

In an empire known for discipline and precision, it is a rare man who can excel in spite of his unsavory appetites and predilections. Rasheth leads a house well known for its ability to train mighty titan warbeasts, and profits from the recent push for western expansion has allowed him to delve ever deeper into decadence. Too slothful to walk on his own, the Dominar is carried into battle by a team of Agonizers. contents: this boxed set contains 1x Skorne Dominar Rasheth

Makeda leads the Skorne Empire into a new era and in doing so embodies all the strength, pride, and martial prowess of her people. She is not merely supreme archdomina, but one of the greatest military minds and combatants ever forged in the harsh and unforgiving crucible that is eastern Immoren. To signify her rule over the Skorne Empire she now wields the Talon of Murzoul, an ancient relic of great significance and incredible power. At her side stand some of the skorne’s greatest heroes of the past, given new life in stone to serve as her inner guard. Their presence is a tangible sign of approval from some of the greatest warriors and leaders in her house’s history.

It is the Extoller Soulward who selects the greatest heroes of the battlefield for preservation, guiding spirits to ancestral guardians to escape the Void. Those who survive the potentially deadly ordeal to become an extoller can communicate with the exalted. It is their task to invoke the guidance, wisdom and protection of the Skorne's most revered ancestors. contents: this blister pack contains 1x Skorne Extoller Soulward

Those Skorne warriors preserved from oblivion by Ancestral Guardians sometimes receive bodies carved from stone and hardened clay, take up weapons heavier than any mortal could swing, and go forth to fight again as Immortals. They may die a hundred deaths only to have a new body crafted each time and rise again to stand alongside the living and wage war eternal. contents: this boxed set contains 6x Skorne Immortals

The proud Karax form imposing phalanxes of interlocking shields to impale closing enemies, sweep aside all incoming blows and protect themselves - and those behind them - from explosive blasts. Endless training in unit tactics removes all trace of individual initiative and allows Karax to advance resolutely into even of the most earth-shuddering artillery barrage as shrapnel and fire wash harmlessly over their shields. contents: this boxed set contains 6x Skorne Karax

Skorne Master Ascetic Naaresh. release date: 14/09/11 contents: this boxed set contains 1x Skorne Master Ascetic Naaresh

Molik Karn has borne the paingivers' lash and learned to obey, but his will has never been broken. His service to Makeda extends beyond mere slavery; he has some deeper loyalty to her and brings the full force of his deadly strength and barbaric nature to fight at her side. He truly is a cyclops lord - a giant of his species, cunning despite his brutishness. contents: this boxed set contains 1x Skorne Molik Karn

Beast Handlers learn to evoke tremendous strength and speed from the warbeasts in their charge. With pain-hooks, goads and injections they can calm beasts or push them to fight on despite horrible injuries. There is always a price, but the beast handlers do not care as long as their efforts bring victory. contents: this blister pack contains 2x Skorne Paingiver Beast Handlers

Slavery is one of the most deeply embedded elements of skorne culture. The Paingiver caste takes great pleasure in subjugating new beasts and races, and recent battles have only served to open their minds to new possibilities. Paingiver Task Masters are sent to oversee Skorne Minions in battle, and they are quick to apply the lash to any who grow lax in their service. contents: this blister pack contains 1x Skorne Paingiver Task Master

Praetorian Ferox rely on the tremendous speed and agility of their mounts to deliver singular killing power and serve as a formidable forward strike force. Ferox can tear at an enemy¹s flanks, cut straight through his infantry frontline or leap clear of intervening forces set to receive their attack. Then these desert predators whirl about to cut the enemy down from the rear. contents: this blister pack contains 1x Skorne Praetorian Ferox

An unprecedented number of Praetorians march daily to join the Army of the Western Reaches, and only the elite few of proven loyalty, high birth, and tremendous intelligence may command them. These rightfully arrogant officers lead their men in devastating attacks, take full advantage of each individual Praetorian's skill, and will bring victory at any cost. contents: this blister pack contains 1x Skorne Praetorian Swordsman Officer 1x Skorne Praetorian Swordsman Standard Bearer

Recognised by their distinct two-weapon fighting style, the Praetorians represent an ancient tradition of Skorne warfare. The Praetorians are the backbone of the invading Army of the Western Marches. Praetorians wear expertly crafted and flexible plated armour and their swords are also of the finest make. In the capable hands of a Praetorian, each keen-edged blade can penetrate thick hide or armour. contents: this boxed set contains 6x Skorne Praetorians

Since the skorne arrived in western Immoren, countless warriors and slaves have met their ends in the slavering jaws of a pack of reptile hounds, vicious pack hunters that the skorne enjoy setting upon lone warbeasts and enemy champions. Many foes have been demoralized after seeing their mightiest heroes or greatest beasts torn to pieces by a pack of these scaled predators. Even the most resilient creatures often find their natural powers of regeneration no match for the crushing strength of a reptile hound’s jaws; a pack of them working in concert can swiftly reduce even a hulking satyr to a pile of bloody bones.

This Warmachine blister pack contains two Hordes metal miniatures.

Supreme Aptimus Zaal, first among extollers, has communed with the widest possible range of ancients. He has gained mastery over the insane ancestral spirits called Kovaas and is akin to high priest for the Skorne army in the west. Though it could mean his destruction, he treads dark paths for the glory of his race, the victory of his master and the expansion of his own power. contents: this blister pack contains 1x Skorne Supreme Aptimus Zaal 1x Skorne Kovaas

Bronzebacks lead the great Titan herds with brutal displays of physical might. Skorne Paingivers must capture these creatures in the wild and endure great peril to make them fit for war, but the Bronzeback's tremendous power justifies the risks. Ancient instincts goad other Titans to respond instantly to a Bronzeback and fight with renewed tenacity while following its lead. contents: this boxed set contains 1x Skorne Titan Bronzeback

The Titan is a solid wall of muscle and flesh with the strength to rip most any creature apart, and its armoured body is a weapon it slams into foes to send them flying. When the Gladiator pierces an enemy with both of its bladed fists, its extra pair of arms can throw its victim across the battlefield to land in a quivering lump of shattered bones or broken steel. contents: this boxed set contains 1x Skorne Titan Gladiator

Skorne Tyrant Commander and Standard-Bearer. contents: this blister pack contains 1x Skorne Tyrant Commander 1x Skorne Tyrant Standard-Bearer

Arising from the Cataphract tradition, Xerxis is a cruel taskmaster who forces his soldiers to drill day and night beyond exhaustion. By his orders they must master intricate formation drills and manoeuvres until they can march like a single organism. Xerxis is an expert at determining the right timing for the perfect application of force that will shatter an enemy line. contents: this blister pack contains 1x Skorne Tyrant Xerxis

Spraying the battlefield with a constant hail of razor-sharp needles, the flayer cannon is an immense, high-powered version of the weapons carried by Venator reivers. Although devastatingly effective against enemy troop formations, the flayer cannon is deadliest against larger targets, such as war beasts, ripping into their massive bodies with bursts of its flesh-shredding needles. contents: this blister pack contains 1x Skorne Venator Flayer Cannon 3x Skorne Venator Flayer Cannon Crew

Venators have mastered the unique firearm called the reiver. These horrific weapons fire bursts of iron needles that shred their targets. Larger creatures only suffer more from these attacks. With a lethal swarm of concentrated fire, Venators tear into the most imposing targets, making them among the most valued specialists in the Army of the Western Reaches. contents: this blister pack contains 2x Skorne Venators

Skorne Void Seer Mordikaar. contents: this blister pack contains 1x Skorne Void Seer Mordikaar

Once respected members of the warrior caste, the Skorne Praetorians now known as the Legends of Halaak spent the early years of their careers clashing with one another in house feuds. It was not until their houses were destroyed that Valgesh, Cidaar, and J’Deth would join forces and earn greater acclaim. When Supreme Archdomina Makeda overthrew Vinter, this trio of renowned warriors went west to offer their services to House Balaash.

The proud Praetorian karax form imposing phalanxes of interlocking shields to impale closing enemies, sweep aside all incoming blows, and protect themselves and those behind them from explosive blasts. Endless training in unit tactics removes all trace of individual initiative and allows karax to advance resolutely into even the most fearsome artillery barrage as shrapnel and fire wash harmlessly over their shields.

SPECIAL NOTE: PIP 74079 contains the same Mk II stat card as PIP 74032. The models in this box represent the same figures in the game. PIP 74079 replaces PIP 74032 and PIP 74033 by offering their contents in a complete unit. However, the models in PIP 74079 are new sculpts and therefore look different from the models found in PIP 74032 and PIP 74033. In addition, these models are plastic rather than metal.

Praetorians stand as paragons of the warrior caste, their traditions irrevocably rooted in the hoksune code. These soldiers form the backbone of all house armies as well as the Army of the Western Reaches. Praetorian swordsmen require superlative skill to master their distinctive two-weapon fighting style. The keltarii wield their double-bladed glaives with unsurpassed speed and precision, able to deflect incoming projectiles as easily as they slice through flesh and steel.

SPECIAL NOTE: PIP 74078 contains the same Mk II stat card as PIP 74009 as well as one completely new stat card for the Praetorian Keltarii. The models in this box can be built to represent the same figures as PIP 74009 in the game.

Hordes Skorne Warriors of peerless discipline, the incindiarii march at the fore in extremely heavy armor.

Masters of the powers of death and agony, the mortitheurges known as willbreakers can influence the mind of an enemy soldier as easily as they can control the great beasts of the skorne war host. A soldier who faces a willbreaker knows the roiling fear of uncertainty, that his own weapons might be turned against his friends and allies or he might be forced to lay down arms and placidly accept the blows of the enemy. Few things can terrify a warrior more than the stark realization that his fate is not his own.

This Hordes Blister pack contains one metal miniature.

This model is supplied unpainted and assembly may be required.

Skorne Solo Extoller Novitate all metal

 

The northern reaches of the Skorne Empire are a wild untamed place where beasts like the hydra and mammoth roam—only the fiercest of skorne prosper here. Among them is Primus Jalaam, one of the greatest hunters of his people, a cunning warlock who feels no shame killing his enemies at a distance. He is as effective stalking intelligent prey as are the beasts of his homeland.

With exaltation a remote hope at best, the ruthless warriors of the Venator caste take to the field for survival and victory instead. Relentless and cunning, Venator dakars are stern leaders with exacting standards. Under the watchful eye of a dakar, other Venators march quickly and take precise aim, proving they are every bit as skilled in dealing death as the more respected warriors of the skorne.
