Hordes Unboxing: Skorne Desert Hydra
January 24, 2017 by dignity
We're back with another Hordes Unboxing from Privateer Press. This time we're opening up the fearsome Desert Hydra from Skorne.
With five huge heads independently biting and spitting acid at its foes, the Desert Hydra is one of the most devastating warbeasts the Skorne Empire has ever captured and conditioned for war. Each head can release a focused spray of highly corrosive acid or snatch up opponents to be devoured by its gaping, hellish jaws.
With a 360 degree line of sight, you're going to have a tough time sneaking up on this big guy, some would say you'll need a Hercules to take this thing out!
Have you played with or against the Hydra?
looks great guys may make a good Caliban worm Queen they had to kill in the power plant.
Great review as always but you failed to mention the mis-casted pain hooks in the main body. This is a engineering flaw across the whole run. Apparently PP know about this, and it is useless sending the piece back at this point in time because they are all the same. If anyone wants to buy this kit, he will have to sculpt the hooks individually along one sided with greenstuff. A lot of extra work for an already complex model. I honestly think PP should man up and take responsibility for this mistake and reduce the price of this run… Read more »
Great review, well balanced. You two work well together.
You guys also failed to mention that the latest Errata changed a few things right when the model released, with an improved RAT and a completely different animus.
Justin rattles off stats, John reads instructions and thinks “Geez I have to make this”. A nice video lads and I think more of the kit now than I did looking at the pictures. I love the skorne warbeasts but can’t stand the skorne themselves.
It is a wonderful looking model. Bit too pricey just for an FRPG (which is what I would use it for) but certainly an amazing centerpiece.
