Skaven – Stormfiends
6" 6 4+ 2 The Clans Moulder and Clans Skryre have long enjoyed a profitable, if fraught, alliance. Stormfiends are one of the many horrors engendered by these collaborations. In appearance, they resemble a Rat Ogor granted even greater bulk through potent warpstone serums, and they can wield various deadly Skryre firearms without tearing themselves apart through recoil. | ||

FAQ
| Q: | If I pick a friendly Stormfiends unit as the target of the ‘Filth-crust’ prayer with a chanting roll of 8+, how would the Crit (Mortal) weapon ability interact with the ‘Shock Gauntlets’ ability? |
| A: | The Crit (Mortal) weapon ability would inflict mortal damage on the target unit equal to the Damage characteristic and the attack sequence would end, so ‘Shock Gauntlets’ would have no further effect. |
