Skaven – Hell Pit Abomination
D6+5" 14 5+ 5 Named for the gruesome subterranean laboratories in which they are crafted, Hell Pit Abominations are the pinnacle of the Master Moulders' sciences. An Abomination is created by melding and mutating the flesh of plentiful hapless subjects as well as employing warpstone and other, more secretive arts. Foes are soon overwhelmed by an avalanche of flailing limbs - many of which sport various murderous 'upgrades'. Yet the insensate bulk of the Abomination remains its greatest weapon, capable of breaking a flank single-handedly. | ||

TOO HORRIBLE TO DIE: As it twitches in its shuddering death throes, there is a chance that either the Abomination’s unholy metabolism will restart one of its many foul hearts or its carcass will disgorge the revolting tide of parasitic rats that had been gnawing upon its innards.
