A Mammoth Preview Appears For Privateer Presses’ Hordes
January 18, 2013 by brennon
So we had a look at a Gargantuan and Colossus from the world of Warmachine & Hordes earlier this week but the Skorne Mammoth is certainly not far away as Privateer Press get ready to send it charging onto the battlefield.
This massive beasts almost (and it's very close) puts the Mountain King to shame. And the people of Minas Tirith thought they were in trouble when the Oliphants were marching towards their walls!
What do you think of this latest Gargantuan?
Let me know!
seeing models like this makes me want to collect skorne, It looks like it means business, unlike the circle stone donkey kong
love it apart from the lil…. triceratops looking…thing… on its head but when i do skorne (after i finish my menoth and touch up my legion) i may well pick up this beastie
The photo is so zoomed out it loses a sense of scale. That guy has a 120mm base, the size of a CD. My guess is he is around 9 inches from tusk to tail.
He is huge and fierce.
Man that thing is huge even for gargantuan.
4big guns on a giant angry elephantman…nothing could possibly go wrong.
Mountain king is still the king but this is like an archduke or something. very awesome indeed
My only complaint with this is how hard it is to get something into base-to-base with it from the front. Other than that – a bloody-awesome model.
A common issue with Skorne tusks. I’ve seen magnetised tusks, removable for close combat.
I think the critter looks an awful lot like a GW ogre-mount thingie, a thundertusk? Someone can and most likely will confirm or correct me on that. Hope there’s no copyright problems!
The only real similarity between the mammoth and the ogre monsters is the huge set of double tusks, but there has been an increased overlap between PP and GW lately. The new fantasy chaos monster looks a lot like a legion carnivean.
I like the way they designed this, it gives it a real sense of being sturdy. You look at this and think, I don’t want to get into close combat with this beast, while also thinking – he’s got four freaking cannons on it’s back… I’m also delighted to see that they made the cannons magazine fed instead of just being your standard cannons, leaving you to wonder how they reload.
I got a 75 point list of cryx and of trollbloods you guys want to pick that one up.
Go ahead slap some paint on it and holler at me. Pizza on me B.Y.O.B – lets do this 🙂
