With axe-flinging Marauders in tow, drooling and crazed Ice Wolves can pull chariots with overwhelming speed.

Marauder Ice Wolves Chariots are a World Walkers Norsca chariot unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer with Norsca (DLC).

Recruitment[ | ]

Description[ | ]

The Marauder Warwolves Chariot is an interesting take on the standard war chariots commonly used by the Northmen and other Warriors of Chaos. The same spike-laden chassis gives it a similarly devastating impact on the charge, but instead of being pulled by destriers, it is pulled by brutish Warwolves. This gives the chariot several advantages – firstly, the swift, muscle-built beasts enable the chariot to move faster over short distances. Also, unlike horses, Warwolves are natural killers in their own right – bloodthirsty animals concerned only with biting and tearing at enemy flesh. This makes the Warwolves Chariot a truly scary prospect up close; snapping, slobbering jaws await any who engage the charioteers in melee.

Attributes[ | ]

  • Chariot Chariot
  • Armoured: Armoured units can block damage from any source apart from Modifier icon armour piercingArmour-Piercing damage.
  • Armour-Piercing Missiles: The damage of Modifier icon armour piercingarmour-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.
  • Anti-Infantry: Anti-infantry units have an advantage against targets that are smaller than a horse. This advantage can be a damage bonus against small targets, superior weight used to smash through lighter enemies, or an explosive attack from range that effects a large area.
  • Frostbite: The intense cold cuts into the flesh and burns the foe's extremities, greatly reducing their speed.

This unit is a significant upgrade to the Marauder Chariot. Its melee attacks have the Frostbite Contact Effect, it has armour-piercing ranged attacks, and its speed is on par with light cavalry and hound type units. Bring this when you want the crowd clearing ability of a chariot, some armour-piercing poke damage, and a method of slowing down and debilitating enemies.
