An Extremely Angry Titan Gladiator Smashes Its Way Into Hordes
March 13, 2015 by brennon
Keeping up with the updates for Hordes from Privateer Press we have a big Extreme sculpt from them in the way of the new Titan Gladiator for Skorne. If you want to get the real 'full on' theme of Warmahordes powering through your veins then these are the sculpts to check out...
The Extreme versions of the Warjacks and Warbeasts of both Hordes and Warmachine are larger in scale and feature a more dynamic and action packed pose, as if they're in the midst of battle. I'm not normally a fan of anything Skorne have in their repetoire but this isn't too bad. I think the epic nature helps with the rather odd and funky looking armour - and the cheesy smile.
As well as the Extreme sculpt the folks at Privateer Press have bought together this No Quarter collection for Forces of Distinction which allows you to make up more interesting and exciting themed forces for your tabletop battles. I love this side of Warmahordes and it's one that I think building towards can be very rewarding for a collector.
With the way in which the story progresses in Warmahordes you have the opportunity to take a Warcaster or Warlock from his or her most basic themed list all the way up to something epic.
Do you run a themed force?
Ain’t that an old discontinued metal miniature from PP ? Hope they are re-making most pieces in plastic, as it must weigh a ton !
Love it, btw !
No, it was resin the first time around (I’m trying to remember if the kit even had any metal parts in it- I think it had a few). It was kind of their first experiment in resin, but they didn’t keep producing it very long. It looks like they’re making all of their Extreme sculpts available again, and that’s a good thing.
But it is definitely not a plastic kit now- it is listed as a metal and resin kit.
If I were going to pick up that sort of a beastie for my fantasy world, I think I would go with GW’s tusker… less the tubby cartoon ogre of course.
That Skorne Titan Gladiator went extreme.
that base is way too small for that thing
Yeah- that’s what extreme sculpts are all about. They aren’t the most playable of models, you know?
Simply an addictive line to collect and paint marvellous sculpt, but will take some pinning, looking forwards to purchasing same.
The extreme gladiator is not new sculpt, it has been out for years. I’d heard there was a problem with the mould though so they weren’t making them any more. Maybe it will be made of the awesome new hard plastic? I would love to convert one of these into a Tiberion though!
