Well I don't think anyone saw this one coming. A Cyclops Character Warbeast that is also a Heavy beast from the looks from his 50 mil base size. Well, enjoy. Molik Karn

http://www.privateerpress.com/

Molik Karn has borne the paingivers’ lash and learned to obey, but his will has never been broken. His service to Makeda extends beyond mere slavery; he has some deeper loyalty to her and brings the full force of his deadly strength and barbaric nature to fight at her side. He truly is a cyclops lord—a giant of his species, cunning despite his brutishness.

it would be a great model if the face wasn't so stupid :(

Probably, but not guaranteed. Legion broke that rule long ago.

It looks like the mouth is actually a Japanese Mempo half-mask. It fits well with the Skorne theme.
It's supposed to be exaggerated to scare/distract the opponent.

Dude, you're right! That's totally a mask!

Coool

No that you say that, the face looks much better than I first thought. Cool model.

A giant Cyclops eh? Looks good, that mask needs a little work though.

"Karn", "Skorne", red armour with brass..

sigh. Just when I thought I was done with my crazy Cyclops giant samurai army (including Shaman!).

Any word on this guy's animus or other abilities? Is he the first of the 'legendary' beasts (a la Ol' Rowdy, Beast 09 for WM)?

Looks too much like an oversized character and not enough like a beast for my tastes. I guess it's part of the background, but that guy doesn't look like a subservient beast, he looks like a massive leader.

Know what I mean? I imagine that these beasts would be completely mentally broken by their masters... this guy doesn't really fit that image in my mind.

It's a cool sculpt, though. Then again, 90% of the Skorne line is well sculpted. They're like the anti-everblight. (although many of the monsters are cool in the everblight range, the elves themselves look like Morley sculpted them)

Well it does say "Molik Karn has borne the paingivers’ lash and learned to obey, but his
will has never been broken," but you already knew that part. And he IS a massive leader.
They describe him as a lord of the cyclops.

ah.. if it's a mask then it's suddenly cool. I thought that was supposed to be a regular cyclops face.

I like the cyclops models a lot despite the impossible-to-glue-on arms the savages had. I really want to play my skorne more but it's so hard to add anything to my army when I have so many GW projects in the works, and only 1 guy in my group that plays, and the store WM day being when i can never make it :(

This is first we've seen anything of him. He is actually the third (fourth if you count Laris) character warbeast previewed. If you scroll down the PP front page, you'll see Typhon and Mulg.

I like the mask. It looks like Baraka from Mortal Kombat.

I'm going to be so broke.

You're going to be so divorced.

I did a quick side by side comparison with the other new Beasts and give it some room for picyure size and he is about the size of Typhon, maybe a little smaller.

You just want to get me on the rebound.

The face/mask looks to goofy for my like and I'd have to repose him. A little disappointing to be honest.......but my friends will pick it up.

Im pretty sure that is a 40mil.

I think painting the mask a different color and not looking so much like the rest of it would be a better move. A simple black mask or something to that effect.

GMMStudios wrote:Im pretty sure that is a 40mil.

Are you talking base size? Because it clearly says "50mm" on the bottom right corner of the pic.

All this hordes stuff is nice and all... well actually not since I dont really like hordes, but can they please get the exemplar Bastions out. Soon prehaps?

Unfortunately, Bastions weren't on the latest retailer pdf. :(

Looks kind of stupid to me. But meh.

It's kind of cool. I've seen better, but I definitely felt more positive about it when I realized it was a mask and not his actual teeth, so I think it sort of works.

I'm not really into most of the Skorne stuff though, and he isn't really cool enough to push me over the edge.

He's cool. It would probably be a good idea to keep the whole mask metallic and not paint the teeth white.

I think it could make an interesting piece to convert into a 40k demon prince.

If you don't like the growly mask face (like me), pop on over to the Privateer bitz shop and get yourself a regular Cyclops helmet for a head swap.
