I'm sorry, I want to contribute something helpful, but I keep getting drawn in by the picture of Morghoul3 and his 2x (ahem) "healthy" and rather well-toned Escorts.
All of the jokes going through my head...
And the one that keeps floating to the top is: Shouldn't those girls be wearing black leather?

Cool skorne theme. Hopefully it isn't meta breaking but I think in general it will be powerful, but bearable. Gonna be some cool armies that come from this.

Will make minions players mad though.
Kinda makes minions just a subset of skorne really.

I thought this theme was one of the the fluffiest of the theme armies, a lot like the Fat Bastard's theme army back in Mk2. (Kinda funny he can't run this one.) This theme army makes sense, the Skorne treat slavery like me and my fellow Americans treat television. Kinda sad I traded my Fat Bastard stuff off now.

Skorne doesn't really need minion beasts to help arm crack, and it plays against the free points. It will have a tough time unseating the other 3-4 Themes in a 2 list pair.

I'm only playing this because it fits the fluff of my not-Xekaar/not-Carver Valdruun the Unchained, a former Skorne slave who seeks to use the minions against the Skorne as revenge for destroying his house. So reverse-Vinter.

I'm sorry for the angry minions players. I'm not super excited about possibly having to buy another gargantuan, but maybe. On the other hand, I'm sure somebody pointed out how many more Skorne players than Minion players are potential buyers of this big expensive model. It's almost certainly a business decision.

I'm not seeing why I would play this. Especially as it requires me buying almost an entire other faction. Would be neat if Croaks get fixed and I could put them back on the table. Would be worth a try with Morghoul2.

I guess people would play it if they like the idea of mixing two factions. Cross-faction stuff tends to interest people in my experience. Khador casters with merc jacks, minion locks with Circle beasts, and so on. Breaking down the normal faction boundaries tend to get people to go "hmm, interesting".

For a mechanical standpoint, it feels like a lot of the power of Minions is concentrated in their warlocks, while in Skorne it's the troops, some of the beasts and the support. So playing Skorne casters with Minion models and no support is not all that enticing.

Nobody plays minions, how do solve that? Allow other more popular faction to take their models as their own.
