Disciples of Hashut Artillery & War Machines

Skullcracker

One of the latest designs to see widespread service within the Chaos Dwarf empire is the Iron Daemon, a compact, armoured steam-driven traction engine, designed for hauling heavy armaments and munitions to the battlefield and to work pressure-fed weapons such as cannonades and wall-breakers. In addition to those it tows to the battlefield, the Iron Daemon may be equipped with weapons such as the Skullcracker, designed for crushing fortifications and walls – a hissing, grinding arcane-mechanical conglomeration of iron hammers, hacking blades and brutal picks to pulverise and shred anything unfortunate enough to be caught in front of it.

  Speed x 125%
  Mass x 150%
• 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.

• Wounds
  Even the greatest foes can be laid low with terrible injuries, and the greater the damage done, the less able they will be to effectively continue the fray.
  Speed x 90%

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.
• Causes Terror
  This unit can cause terror, making its melee target rout for a short time. Units that cause terror are immune to terror and fear themselves.
• Contempt
  Witnessing other friendly units rout will only affect this unit's leadership if they also have the Contempt attribute.
• Hell-Forged
  This unit can be restored in battle by the Daemonsmith's Reforge ability.
• Unbreakable
  This unit does not suffer any form of leadership loss and will never rout.
• Wallbreaker
  Allows the unit to attack and destroy walls in melee.

Strengths & Weaknesses

• Armoured
  Armoured units can block damage from any source apart from Armour-Piercing damage.
• Hell-Forged
  This unit can be restored in battle by the Daemonsmith's Reforge ability.
• 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.
• Collision Attacks
  This unit deals additional attacks when colliding with enemies when charging.
