Doomwheel

A colossal rat-powered wheel of warpstone machinery that spits warp lightning as it rolls, steered only nominally and feared equally by both sides.

The doomwheel is Clan Skryre engineering at its most honest: a colossal wheel driven by rats sprinting on an internal treadmill, crackling with warp lightning generators, and steered — in the loosest possible sense — by a warlock engineer strapped within. Once rolling, it goes where momentum, terrain, and the panic of the treadmill rats decide.

In battle a doomwheel is a rolling catastrophe, spitting arcs of green lightning while grinding over infantry, cavalry, and any clanrats too slow to scatter. Skryre sales doctrine holds that everything a doomwheel crushes was, by definition, in its way, and that an engineer who cannot accept a little friendly attrition has no business operating wonder-weapons.
