Shredded flaps of skin, clinging to a vicious humanoid wolf-thing, are all that remains of these former champions.

Skin Wolf Werekin is a World Walkers Norsca Hero unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer with Norsca (DLC).

Recruitment[ | ]

Description[ | ]

Werekin are former champions afflicted by feral mutations, whom the Gods deem not yet worthy to join them as immortals. Although feared by the local tribes where they dwell, they are not hated and indeed, they are respected. For the Northmen believe that even those cast down have been chosen, and it is better to be chosen than to live your whole life beyond the sight of the gods. Werekin are much larger and more distorted in body than the lesser Skin Wolves, living in caves deep within the frozen wastes. In times when they are not being brought to war by the raiding tribes, they feed on offerings from the locals, or otherwise devour unknowing passers-by who happen to carelessly dwell too near to their dens.

  • Anti-Large: Anti-Large: Anti-large units have an advantage against targets that are at least as large as a horse. This advantage can be a Modifier icon bonus vs largedamage bonus against large targets or an attack that focuses on a very small area. However, some units are simply better against large targets because their attacks are slow and easy to dodge by skilled melee combatants.
  • Damage Dealer: This unit has a strong emphasis on dealing damage. If fighting it, make sure to take it out before it can get into firing or melee range.
  • Frenzy: Units with Wh main unit passive frenzyfrenzy cause more damage while their Morale characterleadership is high.
  • Regeneration: Wh main unit passive regenerationRegeneration allows a unit to heal while in battle. Fire is known to harm this healing process, so be warned that Modifier icon flaming channelflaming attacks will cause more damage to units with Regeneration.

The Skin Wolf Werekin is a solid fighter hero that can deal significant anti-large damage all while regenerating. Foe-Seeker helps give a burst of speed and vigour. Deadly Onslaught provides an offensive damage boost. Ruinous Flesh is a good ability for resisting missile attacks and extra armour. You can pair the Werekin with standard Skin Wolves to protect them with the Ruinous Flesh and to provide a deadly anti-large regenerating combo.
