Disciples of Hashut Artillery & War Machines

The Daemon's Tongue – Dreadquake Mortar

The Iron Daemon is one of the latest Daemon Engines created in the service of the Chaos Dwarfs. It is a mighty, smoke-belching powerhouse that fires blasts of shrapnel against enemy forces or crushes fortifications while towing up to two heavily-armed steam carriages. The boilers that provide these machines with motive power to haul heavy armaments and munitions to the battlefield are cunningly designed so that they can also be used to work pressure-fed weapons such as cannonades and wall-breakers. This means that every Iron Daemon is also a powerful war machine in its own right – a fully mobile artillery piece or murderous killing engine, able to smash through fortifications and hack down ranks of living soldiers with equal ease.

• Hellbound
  Some war machines have Daemons of fury and destruction bound to their very frame and bolt, creating something even more bloodthirsty than their creators, and much more difficult to destroy.
