Content pack: Skulltaker – Omens of Destruction. Immortal Empires ownership
- Included with Skulltaker – Omens of Destruction, the Khorne part of the Omens of Destruction release. Scyla is paid content, separate from Karanak’s Free-LC.
- Owning Scyla’s content does not by itself unlock a Norscan or Warriors of Chaos campaign leader. The host lord needs its own game or DLC entitlement.
A hero with access across races
Scyla joins an existing Immortal Empires faction rather than leading a campaign. Update 6.0 lists access for Daemons of Chaos and Norsca alongside Warriors of Chaos leaders Archaon, Sigvald, Kholek, Be’lakor and Valkia, extending his use beyond the Khorne roster.
Follow Scyla’s unlock mission in an eligible campaign. Keep the hero’s pack ownership separate from the campaign you selected: a player using the Daemon Prince needs the Skulltaker content for Scyla even though the Prince comes from Warhammer III.
Disrupt a formation, then support the breach
Scyla is a disruptive melee monster. His Kill for Khorne! ability scatters nearby enemies and can send them into a rampage, while his tail threatens troops close around him. Those tools suit a fight against crowded infantry.
Bring other attackers through the opening he creates. Bloodletters can exploit a contested line, while Karanak has a different job hunting exposed targets beyond it. Watch for enemy anti-large troops and concentrated missiles before sending Scyla ahead of the rest of the army.
From raider to Chaos Spawn
Scyla was a Norscan warrior whose victories won Khorne’s gifts. Repeated transformation reduced him to a Chaos Spawn, driven into battle as a beast rather than respected as a commander. His monstrous battlefield role follows that loss of his former identity.
