Reinforce The Skorne & Circle Orboros Factions In Hordes
March 9, 2013 by brennon
Privateer Press have some additions to the Hordes world coming soon and below you can see two of the new units that will be making an appearance. The Cataphract Arcuarii and the Tharn Ravagers...
"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."
"Channeling the savage power of the Devourer Wurm, the Tharn ravagers transform into ravenous beast-men in times of war. After hacking down foes with wicked axes, they tear open the chests of their fallen enemies to feast upon their still-beating hearts. This barbaric ritual fuels a berserk frenzy that few men have lived to describe."
Both units are looking pretty special but I have to give this one to the Tharn Ravagers with their epic Beastman look and mighty axes. I'm sure most people like the Skorne forces but they look like KISS got stuck in a fantasy world and formed an army. At least to me anyway!
Will you be grabbing any of these on release?
Those are some huge pauldrons that those Cataphract arcuarii have and I am not really fan of those. For that reason alone I do like some what more from Tharn ravagers and they feral design.
i’m assuming when you say new that you mean they’re finally going plastic?
I don’t know how Hordes plays but it would be good if they DID go plastic because metal seems just too inappropriate for normal warriors. imho
Both warmachine and hordes are gradually turning into plastic, and a lot of the larger kits are moving to metal and resin in combination.
