The Warhost of Zharr Artillery & War Machines

Iron Daemon – 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.

  "'Wait and see,' said the Daemonsmith. 'We'll have a roaring fire, just when we want it!' He was right…"
  Acceleration x 300%
  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.
  [[img:ui/Battle UI/ability_icons/resistance_physical.png]] Physical Resistance +20
• 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%
  Armour-Piercing Weapon Damage x 80%
  Base Weapon Damage x 80%

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.
• Fire Whilst Moving
  This unit can fire while on the move.
• Unbreakable
  This unit does not suffer any form of leadership loss and will never rout.

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.
