Daemonsmith Sorcerer (Metal) (Great Taurus)

Part-mechanical engineer, part-black sorcerer. The very definition of heartless evil.

Daemonsmiths, also known as Hell-Workers or simply Chaos Dwarf Sorcerers, are both the priest and artificers of their society, ruling over the desolate empire of Zharr-Naggrund with iron-fisted malice. Their lore is terrible and ancient, and involves the study of machines, and the mastery of forge-craft, weapon making and the terrible Chaos magics gifted to them by Hashut. Combined, these create terrifying weapons and arcane devices of power and destruction. Daemonsmiths are few in number, with perhaps no more than several hundred amongst the whole Chaos Dwarf race capable of wielding their savagely powerful combination of science and sorcery.

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.
  • Encourage
    This unit provides a leadership bonus to nearby allies. Units within range of both the Lord's aura and an encouraging unit will receive the larger of the two bonuses.
  • Can Fly
    This unit can fly.
  • Immune to Psychology
    The unit is immune to psychological attacks (fear and terror).

Strengths & Weaknesses

  • Spellcaster
    This unit can cast spells.
  • Contempt
    This unit won't lose leadership from witnessing a friendly unit rout unless the routing unit also has Contempt.
  • Flaming Attacks
    This unit inflicts flaming attacks. Units hit by flaming attacks heal at half the usual rate whilst 'on fire’ and sustain additional damage if vulnerable to fire.
