Hello folks, this is my first post and I would like to build a list between all to be able to win the painting price. I know I won't win any tourney because I'm not a good player and I don't like the competitive thing BUT: As judge and organizer of painting in some tournaments of WM-HD I've seen that the Huge-based models are more impressive than smaller ones to fix the attention of the votes. That's why I ask for a Skorne 75p list with some huge models (¿Maybe Xerxis2 with some huge bases?) or Heavy warbeasts that playing them wasn't ridiculous and an auto-lose in the 2nd turn. In the end, I have to play with them having some fun as well isn't it? I have thinking also in a Rasheth list (I have that warlock painted and I think is a nice model) or even a small based warlock with tons of heavy beasts... What are your thoughts? I have also thought in a full "bugs" list with Hydra - Aradus - Worms... lets see. PD: You can see some of my skorne models in this gallery: www.trollworkshop.es

Your painting is pretty amazing man! I only saw the Rasheth and Cetrati unit. If you want to use those models I would suggest the following.
Rasheth Mammoth (It fits your huge base requirement and I think it is the best looking huge base in the game) Gladiator Extoller Soulward Venator Dakar (Not released yet but I think he will be out pretty soon) Cataphract Cetrati & Vorkesh Paingiver Beast Handlers Venator Slingers
It is not the best list in the world but it has some of the better-looking models in Skorne and it should function well enough to not get steamrolled every game!

Thanks Cybrid! Is not mandatory to use those Cetrati & Vorkesh, due to that what you saw, aren't mine but looks cool. I only miss some more beasts but could be more in the second list.

If you're looking for a competative list pairing that features huge bases and bugs, I'd really look at a Hexeris2 and Xerxis2.
With Hexy2, you get the lovely Mammoth model and he's your go to Circle fixer list. With Xerxis2 you get himself on a huge base (and after building it today, that's really an excellent kit) along with a pretty good Smash Face caster. There are others who might do this better, but he's certainly not a slouch. Plus the Aradus Soldiers pair quite excellent with him.

Xerxis2 with a Hydra is a bit unwieldy (two huge bases), but it is extremely viable to make it threat 14" with Rush. With Ignite and Enrage and Prodding, this garg has 9 p+s22(24ish with feat) bites. Both those models are gorgeous. Nevermind how Sandstorm actually protects Xerxis2 a little from his pet-peeve: shooting.
You could easily put two Soldiers with him as well, since with Rush they threaten 12", which is immense for pseudo-Bronzebacks. My go-to Xerxis2 list has two Soldiers in it.
