I’m getting treated to a painted Mammoth for my birthday, and that will finally lure me back to the empire. I haven’t played Skorne in Mk3 at all, and my collection is mostly MK2-based, so I could use some pointers with whom to pair the big boy. A couple sample lists would also be appreciated to get me back into the mindset.
From glancing at our casters, it looks like Makeda1 does great things for him – Shield guard, Carnage, Jackhammer and Quicken are all great, as is the retaliatory strike feat.
Xerxis1 is another obvious choice, if only for Defenders Ward. The +ARM part of the feat is also cool if you just park a Krea behind the big lug.
I could also see Hexeris2 with Black Spot, but I’m unsure if the weapon has enough Ooomph for that to be really relevant.
Other casters I own: Xerxis2, Morghoul1, all Makedas, Rasheth, Zaal1, Mordikaar.
I buult a sample list with Mak1, mammoth, Gladiator, agonizer, Krea, Cetrati and UA, min Handlers. Debating on the last 9 points, either a soulward and master tormentor and feralgeist, or a unit of bloodrunners. I'm not sure if this list does enough work, though, as it's a lot of points in defensive tech. Its all about getting and tanking the alpha and then hitting back. Is that viable?
That all said, I think the mammoth is the far cooler gargantuan, both in rules and model. Fight me.
