The first thing that immediately came to mind was how much better and more appealing the thing would look if it was a giant walker rather than a weird snail tank. Why did they have to make it a snail tank? Why? Isn't Khorne deserving of fighting on his own two feet?

/gripe over

**Luke_Prowler**

I think that it's be better if it was a mech, with the tank part holding up a throne for the mech to sit in.

It'd be soo fething metal.

**sing your life**

No, I like the tracks better.

Lol. Yeah, I'm as big and powerful as a riptide, or a wraithknight, or small titan, but I'm cool just riding here.

**CthuluIsSpy**

I would have him surfing on a tide of blood. Like, on a surf board. That would be bodacious.

**zephoid**

Give it 2 sets of Defiler legs and that thing would look amazing. Slightly smaller body and slightly less bulky torso. It would be an Apoc Defiler but much scarier

**Herald of Change**

Yeah, I think the whole half-giant-khorne-bezerk-half-tank
Is bit wierd.

**TheDraconicLord**

Because the miniature was like that in Epic 40k and the sculptor followed the original design.

I *think* it's this one, but take it with massive doses of salt. I'm no expert in epic 40k

Spoiler:

**CthuluIsSpy**

Yep, that's it.

Here's a front view:

I'm not really sure I like that GW is falling back on old designs for chaos. Looks lazy to me imo. If the old designs were any good, then I would understand. But they are usually...well, silly.

**BrotherVord**

For those interested

Khorne lord of skulls wih leviathan crusader legs

**CthuluIsSpy**

I dunno, looks kinda stumpy.

**DxM Scotty MxD**

That looks much better than the Khorne caterpillar.

Agreed, I can totally get behind the idea of a khorne armored giant

hey, I've killed ragnaros to get my legendary staff already. I Don't need to kill him agian.

**Agent_Tremolo**

I'm starting to like the Lord of Skulls. Sure, it doesn't get close to the sheer awesomeness of the Brass Scorpion, but it's cool in its own crazy, retro (if perhaps a tad juvenile) way.

What bugs me most about the kit are the huge fuel or blood or whatever tanks on its back. For some reason, they don't look right. But then, the model probably needs the extra weight for balance, so who knows...

But now it has a dong-gun.
The original looks kinda funny, but wh40k funny, so it's ok.

Oh wow, you're right

**MWHistorian**

That's the stupidest design GW has come out with since...ever. Why couldn't they make a chaos titan, like, you know, chaos actually has and is supported by fluff, setting and logic?

Because it already existed in Epic, and GW is trying to recycle old stuff from back then?

We might even see Inquisitor Obiwan Sherlock Clousseau

**Kangodo**

I prefer the tracks over something like legs.
It makes no sense to give a superheavy legs like that, it would be his biggest weak-spot.

**asimo77**

I think it's so goofy and ridiculous looking to the point that it wraps around and becomes awesome in the most metal ways possible. I especially like the giant blood vats and the abundance of skulls, in particular the one gun that is a skull made of skulls filled with skulls. It's like something from an Iron Maiden album cover.

**MerkQT**

I don't know, I personally prefer the tracks, although I like the look of the tornado lower body too, it's just that the metal doesn't seem like it fits that one.

**greg0985**

I really like it actually. I love the nod to the old heady days of RT, and Epic Armageddon.

**nwns**

I love it and will be buying one....when I've painted the other million or so models that still need finishing

**The Shadow**

Yeah, I really don't think the design is great. Some Defiler-esque legs would have been much cooler, imo.

We already got to many like that, we aint friggen Cryx here.

**gpfunk**

Khorne Caterpillar. Khornapillar.

I must model the Khornapillar. Splice up a Tombstalker model.

[EDIT] Also, if you convert that top piece to be a walker, you could use the bottom piece as a Chaos Landraider...if the sizes are similar.
