Skaven – Doomwheel
2D6+7" 8 4+ 1 Many uncanny war engines have emerged from the forges of the Clans Skryre, but the Doomwheels are arguably the most bizarre. These contraptions can appear almost amusing to incredulous foes; resembling giant wheels, they roll forwards at an unsteady pace. Yet amusement gives way to terror as the Doomwheel picks up speed, erratic blasts of warp lightning leaping from the ruinous realmstone crystals affixed to prongs on its flanks. Any caught in its path will be either blasted to blackened corpses or simply ground to bloody smears. | ||

7.0 Combat Range
Each model has a combat range that extends 3" horizontally from its base and any distance vertically from that circle to form a cylinder. The combat range of a unit extends 3" horizontally and any distance vertically from every model in that unit. Units from opposing armies that are within each other’s combat range and that are visible to each other are in combat with each other. When a unit that is not in combat enters the combat range of a visible enemy unit, it moves into combat.
A model is considered to be in combat with an enemy unit if that unit is within the model’s combat range and visible to it’
