Skorne Rumor: Mammoth



Rumor summary: Range 10 Power 15 ROF 3 AOE 4 gun, Fist 19, Tusk 17, FURY 5, RAT 3, MAT 5, assault, bulldoze, animus is counter blast, PC 20.

Cool model & awesome melee capability. I dont expect Mammoth to cripple any high arm jack/beast, seeing him only RAT 3, but I do looking forward how this guy give Skorne another viable option to tackle high def infantry other than eHexy's A2A. Definitely not a beast to mess in close combat even its only MAT 5. I believe this giant beast does not require much buff as it's quite capable of clearing charge line and killing things by its own stats. The only thing that made me have doubt to fill him is he PC as I can play 2 BBs which is equivalent killy, if not more, but BBs do need support to avoid getting clog up by infantry. Decision decision... 

Skorne Rumor: Mortitheurge Willbreaker



Rumor summary: Standard solo stat, 5 boxes. Puppet master, beast master, ancillary attack & influence. 2 pts solo FA 2.

Oh boy, if this guy is as good as what been told, I betcha we will get to see more playtime with low FURY caster like Morghoul. I have been playing pMorghoul for the past 2 months and FURY 5 is a real concern for pMorghoul as it force you to bring your low arm caster to go up whenever your beast go, risking him getting assassinated by all kinds of means. With this new solo, you can actually extend the beast manipulation control bubble by 100% of Morghoul. I would have to say this is my most looking forward model of 2013, even more so than the Mammoth.
