Speaking as someone who has only faced, but never played, Skorne, my advice would be sure to buy those tortured baby elephant things. Creepy and powerful.

Titans, at least a bronzeback and whichever one has the rush animus. Also Tiberion whenever he comes out.
Paingiver beasthandlers, these guys are so stupid good theyll be in every list.
Agonizers ie tortured baby elephants, also stupidly good.
Molik Kharn, stupidly good warbeast.

Other then that Skorne infantry falls into two categories, heavy brick infantry and light fast infantry. The heavy stuff is pretty difficult to kill with some buffs applied. The light stuff is fast, generally hits fairly hard, and hand plenty of souls to your support solos in the backlines when they die.

Bronzeback : cause nothing hits harder !
Molik Karn : I stand corrected, this one is a beast (lol) and moves really fast too.
Basilisk Drake : not expensive SP8 POW14 attack.

Paingiver Beast Handlers : obviously.


Agonizer : the biggest PITA ever. If you play Hordes he's your number priority to take down. If you play Warmachine, you'll regret that you didn't take a miniature with "power booster". Suspect

As a Skorne Player, Molik Karne and Agonizer, I rarely Take. Why? Because they are stupid OP and I feel cheap. Seriously.

For things in 90% of my lists, because of all around usefulness and just great units,

Hakaar, Great solo, cheap good infantry killer/good damage to warjacks and hard to kill.
PGBH (paingiver beast handlers) in 90% of every skorne players lists, just incredibly useful and cheap.
Titan Gladiator. Great Beat stick, plus rush animus is amazing
Archidon. Flying high speed, cheap heavy with critical pitch. Was leary of him at first, but after my first game, have used him rather consistently.
Extollers. Deal a good Deal of damage vs warjacks. Kill units if they hit them, and cheap ranged.
Cyclops Brute. Great Defensive unit for saving your warcaster vs pesky range snipes.
Swordsmen. Super cheap infantry. 2 attacks. Min 1 dmg vs warjacks per attack, good tie up/ infantry killer or soul provider distraction. Start here and find your play style. Skorne have a lot of great weapons. We are quick scary melee, that like to bring the pain. We can be tricky, and have some decent range (range as in range attacks and range as in scary threat range.) Good all around army.

basilisk drake
4 x cataphract arcuarii
swordsman officer and standard
ancestral guardian

A very good start of a list.
You need more beasts though, but overall, it's a very good deal ! pig
