Editing Skorne (section)

==Crunch==
On the tabletop, skorne bring the fucking hammer. They are the faction of getting in your opponent's face until they no longer have a face to be in. On the whole Skorne have good melee options, even if some of ther hardest hitting models (Immortals, Aradus Soldier, Bronzeback Titan) do actually have trouble getting to the opponent. Luckly Skorne warlocks and Beast Handlers have a plethora of ways to pump the models up speed juice. The Skorne don't generally have models that are the best at what they do, but what they bring instead is a unit or beast that can do whatever they need done. No other faction has as balanced an array as they do. Support wise, the Skorne army gives you a lot of stright foward ways to break people's faces

In ranged the Skorne don't have a large array of options, but what they do have fucks shit up. Venator Reivers and Slingers are pretty good when run by themselves but if you throw a Venator Dakar in the unit they can start bringing serious pain. The Dakar actually brings Skorne gunlines into the game as a viable option. Unfortunately Skorne warlocks don't buff ranged, although Xerses1 has a neat trick which allows nearby infantry to not block LOS. 

As far as beasts go, the Skorne's kick ass. Angry elephant men, cyclops with future sight and some fukkin dinosaurs; it's just a bucket of awesome. From a gameplay standpoint their warbeasts a capable of bringing the hurt in melee with a few exceptions (Basilisk Drake, Agonizer, Cyclops Shaman). They have a couple of great ranged options in the form of the Titan Cannoneer, great anti-heavy beast/jack and heavy infantry; the Cyclops Raider, hunts down solos; and the Aradus Sentinel, which blasts through infantry blobs. Their beasts have a generally low speed but many of their Animi focus on enhancing mobility. Their most comparable faction is Khador and their brutal warjacks, the Aradus and Titans are a lot like them; you'll basically always hit them but POW 10s are basically worth less. They are the only other faction with comparable melee beast/jack output to Khador, which is quite a feat.
