Warp-Lightning Cannons of DOOM!

[Faptor]

So Im trying out the Skaven as Queek and ive been running into problems fighting the lizards and elves. If I ever win a fight it was always just by the skin of my teeth (whiskers?) because the lizards would go into an unbreakable feeding frenzy or the elves would make full armys of archers and obliterate me well prancing away.

Warp-Lightning Cannon's were the awnser! My god are those amazing. if you can set it up so they shoot unit stacks from the side they are absolutely devistating.

Few things are more beautiful than seeing entire stacks of Saurs and skinks just up and dissapear well fighting swarms of bogus clanrats/slaves.

How are the doom wheels? I havent unlocked them yet but if they are 1/10th as good as the cannons ill be happy.

CA needs to hire Invader Zims voice actor for the Skaven mechanical units lol "prepare foR DOOOOOOM!!!!!" *wheels roll out and cannons fire*

Oh God, I found out that the Warlock Engineers buffs stack. So 2 engineers get double the passive effect of bonus rate of fire, damage, and ammo for artillery. With 3 or 4 warlock engineer your warp lightning cannons become friggin turbolaser batteries Lmao.

Turn them into autocannons lol.

Oh dear, that sounds like a very amusing bug. Must exploit for fun, yes-yes! 16 cannons clustered together with four warlocks circle-jerking in the middle.

I used this with Plagueclaw catapults with rather amusing results.

Death globe's are also extremely useful. I always get high kill counts with them. Worth the money.

Doomwheels are stupidly strong

I had 2 doomwheels in a multiplayer battle and they chased off like 8-10 archers with a dragon trying to catch up lol

I wonder if the Doomwheel's gun counts as artillery for the Warlock Engineers buffs. It fires a shorter range version of the warp lightning cannon at lower dps but can fire in a 270 degree arc so it's zapping infantry it charges through.

Doomwheels are potent because it's one of the few Skaven units that's both armored AND armor piercing. Skitterleap, Death Frenzy and banner of swiftness are really good, especially during an ambush. I had one tear clear through a unit of Quarrelers lengthwise, monster trucking its way over like 40 dudes without stopping!

It should count. Doomwheel is Chariot/Artillery.

Yes yes!

Doomwheels with death frenzy are O.O

Combine this with Warp Gale to chain - stun a group of dragons while you snipe them with warp lightning cannons.

Devious plan yes-yes.

I'd be totally down for the stackable engineer bug to become a constant feature if the significantly unstable nature of Skaven warmachines was introduced to the game.

But as perfectly working machines that rival dwarven craftmanship? Just isn't appropriate.
