The Dreadquake Mortar uses a vast boiler to generate steam pressure to fire its munitions. The sorcerous energies bound within its volatile shells explode on impact, striking the battlefield like a hammer blow to cause untold devastation.

Battlefield Role: Artillery
A Dreadquake Mortar is a single model armed with a Dreadquake Bomb.
CREW: This model has a crew that consists of Slavemasters that attack with Improvised Weapons, and a Slave Ogor that attacks with Fists and Chains. For rules purposes, the crew are treated in the same manner as a
mount.
Cruel Overlords: Slavemasters work their indentured slave ogors relentlessly, despite the risk of revolt.
When this model is picked to shoot in your
shooting phase, you can say that the Slavemasters are lashing the Slave Ogor. If you do so, roll a dice. On a 1 or 2, this unit suffers D3
mortal wounds (if it is not slain it can shoot normally). On a 3+, add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of this model’s Dreadquake Bombs for that phase.
Infernal Engineers: Daemonsmiths are masters in the art of directing the fell artillery they forge.
Add 1 to
hit rolls for attacks made with this model’s Dreadquake Bomb while this model is within 3" of a friendly
DAEMONSMITH.
Quake Blast: Dreadquake bombs are fired on a high arcing trajectory, and are packed with an explosive charge so powerful that they can turn dozens of armoured warriors into chunks of burnt meat in an instant.
This model’s Dreadquake Bomb can target enemy units that are not visible to the attacking model. In addition, you can re-roll the dice that determines the Damage characteristic of this model’s Dreadquake Bomb if the target unit has 10 or more models.
Siege Artillery: This war machine is a heavily armoured and ponderous device.
This unit cannot
run or make
charge moves. In addition, add 1 to
save rolls for attacks made with
missile weapons that target this model.
