Forbidden Workshop

A screenshot of the Workshop in actioon.

The Forbidden Workshop is a campaign feature available only to the Clan Skryre faction. The player can spend Food and Warp-Fuel to buy upgrades and abilities for certain Skaven units, unlock campaign-only Regiments of Renown, or construct Doom Rockets.

How it works

The Forbidden Workshop is accessed while viewing the campaign map, using a button in the bottom right of the UI.

The Clan Skryre player can pay varying amounts of Food and Warp-Fuel to obtain new abilities and buffs for Ratling Gun Weapons Teams, Warplock Jezzails, Warpfire Thrower Weapons Teams, Doom-Flayers, Doomwheels, and Skaven characters mounted on the latter two war machines (see: Doom-flayer (mount) and Doomwheel (mount)). Doom Rockets can be built and also upgraded in various ways. In addition, while upgrading units, special banners and equipment will be unlocked.

Strategy

• The ratling gun's, endless drum passive does indeed make ammunition for Ratling gunners endless, as when ammunition reaches 20%, regeneration of ammuniton will be applied, and is therefor a must have upgrade if one plans to use ratling gunners
