Skorne epic revealed at L&L staff panel.

[Stuh42l]

Just a heads up guys. Our new 3pic is a Makeda with ancestral guardians cadre type unit. Art looked greatbut thats all it is so far.

Also, the Mammoth art shows a Bronzeback on crack with a cannon turret. Also looked sweet.

[Isante]

A bronzeback on crack with a cannon... think I just got a chubby.

Must see pictures!

[Triumph Of Man]

But where are the pictures?!

[jettzypher]

dont tell me this information with posting supporting imagery...

[TheConstantWay]

Apologies for the extreme blurriness!

[Cronix]

Amazing..... Let's hope that she returns with the feat Gates of Death (eMakeda mkI).Big sword she has there, she went from sword mistress to beserker :P.

[toku]

WOW.... I personally never expect that Skorne Gargantuan would be range focused beast.... speechless.

[PG_strangedane]

Hope this saturday will bring better pictures! Looks amazing - who is that accompanying makeda?!

[atis52]

OMGOMGOMGOMG.....can i have them yesterday ?

[paspinall]

Hope this saturday will bring better pictures! Looks amazing - who is that accompanying makeda?!

As said elsewhere a pair of Ancestral Guardians

[Stuh42l]

Makeda 3 will be a Warlock 'unit' they said. One of the first, I think a couple other factions might get one as well.

They are supposed to be eliteancestral guardian cadre/body guards.

And the Mammoth looks like a Bronzeback and Battleship had a tortured love child; which is a good thing.

[Cronix]

Her personal unit of Ancestral Guardians.

[PG_strangedane]

Is that comfirmed? Not that I don't belive you but wow that would be awesome!

[PG_Enazel]

yes its confirmed.

[Stuh42l]

Is that comfirmed? Not that I don't belive you but wow that would be awesome!

That is what the PP panel said as they displayed the pic. They used 3Mak to showcase the idea of Warnoun units.

[Keeper Hobo]

I am somewhat disappointed that it is just a giant titan, (although the concept art looks cool) they could have done something a little less generic. Upon closer inspection though, is it just me or doesn't it look kind of like a Triceratops? it has that big central horn and the flared plates coming out of the skull and a tail going by the art. Still both Makeda and the Mammoth are looking to be awesome, here's hoping we see some pictures of epic Xerxis (if he is our second lock).

[Redvig]

And Makada has an even larger hat than before, her neck must ache a lot :/

The Gargantuan does look epic, it ties in with the current beast them but is still unique. And 4 cannons is always fun > And of course we can always buff his fists to hell and back..

[PG_strangedane]

I love Skorne again! Just sad we are sooo far back in line with getting stuff.

[doom_reaver]

Hmmm enraged, abused mammoth with the rush animus on him, nothing will ever be safe again.

[PG_strangedane]

The Mammoth reminds me of a Brumak from Gears of war.

[PG_Paingiver]

is it me or do the ancestral gaurdians appear to be wearing Irusks hat?

Supprised she gave up the Swords of Balaash. Any theorys as to where it came from. Looks like it may have another effect than just chopping off heads with all the tendrils coming off it. great swords pow usually 6 so should be min p+s 13.

[Refyougee]

Whatever that gun does, I can just imagine how awesome it will be with eyeless sight, magical weapon and snipe

[delar]

I'm afraid it's going to be Mat 5 Rat 4.

[PG_princessprettyposies]

If it's a bronze back then it should be 7 though for balance it will probably be 6

[Kurgash]

Why am I reminded of those Japanese Kabuki guys when I see her face?

edit: also, when can we expect this book to be released?

[viperidae99]

Oh Blastoise, how long I begged for you, and finally you are coming!

Loving both. I know the pictures are blurry but those AGs kinda look slender and more Praetorian like than what we've got so far. Kinda like female Immortals or something. Super psyched!

[PG_Pickles]

Disapponted it's a Titan as I can't see why they would come in super size. OTOH I love titans so not very disappointed.
I do not think it is range focussed so much as anything 20 points has to be able to contribute a lot so needs it batteries to use while not quite in melee. I see Stormwall as range focussed but Conquest may well prefer the thumping as his guns are worse & his melee better.

[Jake the Dog]

Funny thing, all Guargantuans look like giant versions of current heavies. At least most Colossals look a little different from standard Warjacks.

[gaminguy]

If the actual model does that concept justice color me a happy Tyrant. I'm just thrilled out Gargantuan has some obvious ranged power, the chance of it being melee only made me sad a little.

Also, Warlock unit! Who might buff AGs and Immortals! (So what if the Trolls got to see theirs first.)

[Ruad]

It looks like Makeda gave her swords of Baalash to each of her bodyguards. The second weapon looks like there is no hand to hold, maybe they worked them into the guardians. To activate these murderous twins Makeda had to forfeir her swords.

The Mammoth ist great BOOM!

Ruad

[Raktra]

Loving every last bit of it all. It's a good time to play Skorne.

[Lord Tyrant peers]

they arn't ancestral guardians. they are the exalted court. so expect super elite skorne super elitist super swordsmen. either way i don't care aslong as a warlock unit isn't a cop out for a character unit. mammoth i was really hoping it to not be a cop out and be a titan. I saw it i was glad they copped out and made it a titan. if it is a "Titan" class gargantuan then fatty tier love all over again

[AngraX]

As someone else posted on LH: it's not yet another giant lizard. Phew, I would be sad if it was. Anything that reminds me of the turtle makes me sad.

[Lord Tyrant peers]

also it was said that makeda was a near future release. must crack on with painting

[OMM_Lukav]

I was very meh when i first heard about the Mammoth, but I have to say I really like where they went with the idea. I think the colossal titan is an excellent idea and can't wait to see what it does.

I am a little surprised no one mentioned that Makeda no longer is duel wielding and it appears she has a brand spanking new two handed sword. The fluff and powers behind this could be interesting...unless she pulled a Vlad and reforged two blades into one.

[gaminguy]

I imagine House Baalesh has a fair store of "special issue" weapons floating around, she did hand Mercy over to EMorghoul (that's an heirloom weapon IIRC) and I doubt she'd have done that if the supply was even moderately tight.

reforge the symbols of her house? i doubt that very much. likely she is ripping off vinters idea of a sword that you cant parry. lets how for decapitation woohaa

[atis52]

Er.....so. Gargantuans are warbeasts, right ? And we can assume that the mammoth is a titan, right ?

So.....can I have 2 in my 50 point rasheth t4 list ?

[various]

Relieved that it isn't a literal Mammoth with tusks, a trunk, and a wooly coat! A large Titan may not be original idea but at least it looks good and is a bit different as it appears to be a ranged option. With any luck it'll be more useful than the SA is. Makeda3 looks good and super AG's to keep her company sounds cool.

[gaminguy]

I hope those ARE genuine AGs, that would give me another lock that runs Immortals well.
