Many Vulkite Berzerkers favour the versatile slingshield. This bladed weapon can either be used to block incoming blows or be hurled before a charge in order to disrupt the foe’s ranks and soften them up for an axe between the eyes.

Once per battle, at the start of the
combat phase, you can say that this unit will unleash its berserk fury. If you do so, until the end of that phase, if a model in this unit is slain, that model can fight before it is removed from play.
Bladed Slingshield: Some Vulkite Berzerkers carry razor-sharp shields that they hurl at the enemy as they charge.
After this unit makes a
charge move, you can pick 1 enemy unit within 1" of this unit and roll 1 dice for each model in this unit. For each 6, that enemy unit suffers 1
mortal wound.
