Description[ | ]

Warpfire Throwers are one of the deadliest weapons within the arsenal of Clan Skryre, a weapon so powerful and dangerous that it is considered the hallmark of Clan Skryre ingenuity. The Warpfire Thrower is a crude yet highly volatile flamethrower that hurls a blast of concentrated Warpfire upon an enemy or a small area of ground. Warpfire Throwers are almost always grouped into teams of two Skaven; one carries a bulky and highly unstable fuel-tank filled with chemicals mixed with powdered Warpstone, while another aims the weapon at the enemy. With a single flick of a switch, a torrent of fuel will be unleashed that ignites into a greenish flame. Once the blast hits any solid object, the Warpstone imbued flame that the weapon spews forth sticks to almost any surface. Nearly nothing can douse the flames of a Warpfire thrower once it has engulfed its intended victim.

Attributes[ | ]

  • Warpfire: After being showered in an unholy flood of odiferous flames, those left fleeing in panic are the lucky ones.
  • Armoured: Armoured units can block damage from any source apart from Modifier icon armour piercingArmour-Piercing damage.
  • 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.
  • Defender: This elite unit excels at pinning the enemy down in melee, buying time for the rest of your army to get into position.

Strategy[ | ]

Click here to add a strategy! This unit is very similar to standard Warpfire Throwers (outside of some minor melee stat changes) except for the fact that it is Unbreakable. This helps the unit be able to output damage even when it has been targeted by enemy harass units or missiles. Overall, a much more reliable Warpfire Thrower.
