Skarr Bloodwrath Slaughters His Way Into The Warhammer End Times
March 11, 2015 by brennon
The rules and model for another character in the epic End Times saga that is Warhammer Fantasy have popped up online and this angry chap goes by the name of Skarr Bloodwrath. If you haven't worked it out already he works for big ol'Khorne...
Now, don't let the artwork above fool you - he looks nothing like that. You can check out the link HERE to see what he really looks like and he's all chains, axes, big weapons and spiky armour. This chap is certainly touched by the Gods and I would have to say that he looks pretty awesome if it wasn't for the flail bits that are attached to his weapons. I'd be chopping those off...
Rules Of The Beast!
Rules wise he's a combat monster as you'd imagine with Initiative 7 meaning he's pretty much always striking first and a Weapon Skill of 8 allowing him to start hitting with ease. With a natural Strength of 5 he can put most things down too and with his Bloodstorm Blades he can ramp that up to to Strength 7 on the first round of combat alongside some impact hits.
On the special rule front his Bloodborn rule allows him to keep fighting even when downed. If you can rack up enough of a kill tally and roll well on the dice then he can keep coming back to life and slaughtering in the name of Khorne. As long as your opponent isn't a complete wet blanket and covers him with a unit then this could prove for some cool scenarios.
What do you think of him?

Bloody hell, its horrible! Who designed that thing, the work experience kid?
They let the guys in Shipping design the last few figures. They wanted a break.
The kids will love it, and he’ll probably only be $35 lol. The chains have to go: utterly useless, and he’s more apt to brain himself if he’s trying to swing those axes. Not quite a skull record for a single figure on foot, but certainly gets honourable mention.
Once again, absolutely no resemblance to the art. I’d buy the figure if it looked like the art.
And how about replacing the mono-pose Chaos warrior box set, rather than flogging new singles at silly prices.
No the chaos warrior box set is fine as is. Do you really want goofy posed warriors that only come in a box of five for the current… no even higher price tag than the box we have now? You know that is what would happen.
Hmmm… good point. I guess I’ll be going with the Avatars of War alternative. Need a few more Chaos-like warriors for my evil armies.
There just aren’t words
So stats wise this guy is cool as……all the best chaos lords exude cool……they know they are going win so they just need to stare at you from the slits in their full helms and you run away.
This guy must be shunned by the cool lords…..no dignity. Bit of a wanna be….Abaddons topknot, Solitaires horned face mask, laughing god embossing, bloodletters legs, mini bloodthirster torso, wrathmongers chains, skullthings axes.
This guy has issues………and looks like a numpty.
Even the other Khornate guys are like “Good Khorne man, tone it down! Sharing is caring, leave some for us!”
More Chains and Skull(tm), it seems to me that a lot of new (if not all?) GW releases need chains of some kind just to show that they can make them now in plastic
The mini isn’t great, but after last week’s monstrosities it is certainly an improvement. The rules on the other hand remind me of why I don’t play this game anymore.
Really? Rules are the only reason for buying it! Lol.
Best figure EVER! I want 100 of them! And at only $10000000 each a total barg…..oh wait my meth has worn off….what the heck are GW doing? This must be for a bet or early April Fools.
Just proves GW hate WHFB. Makes me sad.
Got any more meth? 😉
No more stupid weapons Games Workshop! Please!
Now, now, there’s no need to worry – if the leaks about the conclusion of the Archaon book are accurate it doesn’t matter since this guy will soon be toast anyway, along with everyone else in the Warhammer World.
A new slate seems to be on the horizon, for better or worse. So… um… yeah; there’s that.
Not sure what this has become right now but its not Warhammer … Its “Generichammer no feel for the original magic fantasy battles” … good work GW you incompetent gits
Make me Weapons of Awesome with which to crush my pathetic foe.
Then add Chains of Entanglement that I may get all wrapped up like a kitten in a skein of wool.
But put SKULLZtm a their ends so that… well… I mean…that is …. look, just DO IT ffs because I am HARD and I said so!
You have to wonder what was going through the sculptors mind when they added those chains.
LOL
(ironically would be a great model once he undergoes the snip)
Warhammer is dead……long live Warhammer!
Righto…..ready when you are GW!
Dud for the dud god!
I love it! Then again, I also love lamp so what do I know.
I love carpet
I love desk
Oh dear lord,no…………..
these last releases really look like they have been designed by committee.
