Clan Pestilens Chariot

Dwarf-Thing Menace (Doom-Flayers)

The Doom-Flayer is a motorised iron ball of whirling blades that was first deployed during the merciless underground battles against the Dwarfs of the World's Edge Mountains. Various incarnations of this Skaven killing machine with spinning, stabbing and slashing blades were used to assail the Dawi's subterranean strongholds. The first few Doom-Flayers were largely Skaven-powered, as the pushing crew generated much of the impetus needed to drive the whirling weaponry. The Skaven crew, protected by a scrap-barrier of old shields, metal-reinforced planks, and even the patched-together armour plates of fallen enemies, could just about avoid incoming missile fire and steer the device to plough into enemy lines.

Abilities

• The Best Defence
  There's no better defence than attack… preferably with this mass of whirling blades. Stay on the right side of it if you want to live!
• Scurry Away!
  "He who runs away lives to fight another day!" - so the foul, craven adage goes.

Attributes

• Causes Fear
  This unit frightens all enemy units, reducing their leadership when nearby. It is also immune to fear. Fear penalties do not stack.

Strengths & Weaknesses

• Armoured
  Armoured units can block damage from any source apart from Armour-Piercing damage.
• Armour-Sundering
  The armour-splitting attacks of this unit can significantly weaken the target's armour.
• Armour-Piercing
  The damage of armour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.
• Anti-Infantry
  Anti-infantry units have an advantage against targets that are smaller than a horse. This advantage can be a damage bonus against small targets, superior weight used to smash through lighter enemies, or an explosive attack from range that affects a large area.
