As for heavies the Skorne, like the Trolls, specialize in melee combat: the Titan Gladiator, Titan Bronzeback, Rhinodon, and Molik Karn (their unique warbeast introduced in Metamorphosis) all excel in both damage output and resilience, with the Titan Cannoneer filling both melee and ranged roles. A Skorne army plays similar to a Troll army, with a few notable differences. Arguably the slowest of the Hordes factions, the Skorne excel at regimented, brick-style combat, with hardened melee troops and beasts forming a wall in front with ranged and support units behind, but whereas the trolls specialize in defense and endurance, the Skorne specialize in offense and damage output, even at the expense of their own troops and beasts. Most notably the Skorne have access to several abilities that can turn their losses into advantages, more than any other Hordes faction, giving them an edge in battles of attrition. Several army additions released in Hordes: Evolution and Metamorphosis drastically changed the original Primal Skorne play-style, allowing them to field more varied types of armies, but the tried-and-true Skorne brick is still a powerhouse to contend with, for few factions can deal out more damage than the Skorne in straight-up melee combat. Legion of Everblight An army of draconic horrors and twisted creatures who serve the newly reawakened (but not reformed) dragon, Everblight, the Legion is led by the blighted ogrun Thagrosh, Prophet and now Messiah of Everblight, who discovered the resting place of Everblight's crystal heart, or athanc, thrust it into his own chest, and thus unleashed the Legion into the world. All of the Legion Warlocks carry a shard of the athanc within themselves, linking themselves both to the mind of Everblight as well as each other. The energy emanating from the athanc shards, called blight, has both corrupting and mutational properties, which can be used to warp and twist others to the will of Everblight. The first victims of this influence were the Nyss, the arctic race of elves which lived near the mountain where Everblight's athanc was discovered by Thagrosh, and these blighted Nyss comprise the bulk of a Legion's unit and troop choices. Apart from the Nyss several tribes of ogrun have been subjected to the blight as well, giving the Legion limited heavy troop options. The warbeasts of the Legion are all dragonspawn, hideous eyeless draconic creatures created from the blood of Everblight's warlocks. Two hallmarks of
