Well, in fairness it is technically a discount from the price of two boxes before, however it's rather unfortunate that if you want any, you have to drop $100 rather than the what, $58 before?

Ive always wanted some juggernauts so i think i may pounce, one thing leaves me scratch my head some tho, the rules say they have ensorcelled axes? I thought khorne didnt go in for that sort of mischief or have all these years of endless war court up with him meaning he out sources a lot of the work now a days?

Also i guess i have no taste i like anvil boy

his head is awesome might swap out the anvil for a more fitting fail and give the juggerchamp a 2 handed hammer with the anvil as the head.

Khorne is ok with magic if it is used in the most direct and destructive manner possible; plenty of Khorne units have had magic weapons and/or armor, for example. Spellcraft, on the other hand, is far too frilly and weak to have any level of approval. Though once all the spellcasters were dead he'd probably direct hate to those with magic abilities (like plague priests, relictors, blood priests, etc) then move on to magic items once they were all dead. After that... I guess he'd destroy himself, chaos gods are made of magic after all.

In other words; Khorne is somewhat like a technology hater who tolerates weapons of forged metal in order to combat those pitiful users of gunpowder.

Thanks for your input most insightful

Skarbrand:

**Joyboozer**

Is Skarbrand based on the daemon prince rather than the bloodthirster?

**highlord tamburlaine**

Skarbrand is automatically a step above the previous Bloodthrister due to having two feet on the ground to help keep him stable.

Wanted a Bloodthirster, wasn't satisfied with the previous one's pose, but this looks more like what I wanted.

**Grimskul**

The way he's holding those axes makes it look a lot more awkward than it needs to be.

**Melcavuk**

... whats up with how he's holding those axes? He cant swing so much as try and punch with them. Surely his hands need to be at the other ends of the haft.

**H.B.M.C.**

Gotta say, I never thought there'd be a Skarbrand model.

Indeed.

Thought at best maybe some -- probably awful -- Finecast conversion kit or something.

.. strange days indeed.

**Alpharius**

I think he's just in "Angrily Brandishing Them" mode at that point - he'll adjust his grip as things get more urgent?

(!)

**Darth Bob**

Oh look, more Khorne stuff. I can hardly contain my excitement. Seriously though, can we get some non-Khorne Chaos stuff? How long has it been since we've gotten a new Tzeentch or Slaanesh release?

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

Living axes that eat their way in to the victim so no need to swing them?

**Wehrkind**

Axes are more comfortable to carry around like that, as the center of balance is so far up. Usually you just let the head drop and the haft slide through your hands to grip them lower when it is needed.

Now, it does imply that Skarbrand is not planning on smacking someone right away, but he seems to be screaming orders or something, so maybe he doesn't lead from the front?

**RoninXiC**

Wow he's really a mess. The face, the proportions.. the anatomy.. I hate it.

**Imposter101**

The wings look awkward, the face sculpt isn't fantastic. Wish they'd stayed closer to the original look, instead of these very cheap looking new plastic models;

**Azreal13**

I always intended to build my own Skarbrand, if I ever got around to adding one to my daemons.

Still do.

**jonolikespie**

He seems a little too... Happy?

Goofy?

He does not look intimidating or powerful like that black and white piece.

**Mymearan**

A little busy, but still a great sculpt. LOVE the beard! Doesn't live up to the illustration but it's John Blanche so not much will...

**nels1031**

Wonder if the regular Bloodthirster hands/arms/heads will be compatible?

I got enough bits for a second BT and I would kind of dig having a different pose.

Head looks a bit too small, but otherwise I like this mini.

**RiTides**

He's just choking up on the handles a bit

. If only more MLB players would follow his example:

**Thraxas Of Turai**

Are those flesh hounds current sculpts?

**chaos0xomega**

I still dont get why they didnt just include him in the (otherwise excellent) bloodthirster kit.

**Fleshrott**

Skarbrands looking freaking ace!

Although the way he holds those axes are a bit iffy

**ShaneTB**

Skarbrand has been squatting some serious weight. Guy has muscle dysmorphia. Probably insecure because of his wings.

Thraxas Of Turai wrote:Are those flesh hounds current sculpts?

Yes, unfortunately.

I saw it as him bellowing across the battlefield (with his ribs open, shoulders back), not ready to strike immediately.

Flesh Hounds: Looks like current stuff...

Also- Skarbrand's wings appear to have had the Soul Reaver treatment in a much more violent manner lol. Overall though, I like the model. As others have said though, I didn't actually think there would be a model for him.

**ImAGeek**

I don't like the beard but he's pretty cool apart from that.

**lord_blackfang**

He's pretty cool. But not my favorite use of production capacity to make something that's so close to an existing model when other factions are still way behind.
