Keep it rolling
The Doomwheel does its work by running through infantry and shooting warp lightning. Aim it at enemy regiments already fighting your Clanrats, then roll out and come back for another pass.
Do not let it stall in a melee. Anti-large infantry and focused fire will wear it down if it stops moving.
Where it comes from
The Doomwheel was confirmed for the Skaven base roster in Warhammer II. It is a Clan Skryre engineering unit, recruited through Skaven war machine buildings.
Ikit Claw leads Clan Skryre and its weapon technology, but other Skaven factions can recruit Doomwheels with the right buildings.
Engineering support
Clanrats and Stormvermin hold, while the Doomwheel and other Skryre weapons give the swarm its damage.
Ikit Claw's campaign focuses most on Skryre engineering. Queek, Thanquol and the other Skaven lords can still field the Doomwheel.
