Skaven Skryre Shockvermin

Comparable to the Eshin Triads, these are the best-of-the-best stormvermin in Clan Skryre. Typically found guarding workshops from curious eyes or would-be thieves, these elite rats are now finding battlefield deployment more common as the war against the surface-things intensifies.

They operate in smaller groups than a regular regiment of stormvermin, but make up for it in slightly superior stats, and more effects. Primarily, they wield launcher-halberds allow them to fire poisoned wind globes across a short range before committing to melee combat. As the halberds are infused with warpstone technology, they gain magic damage as well as AP and anti-large. Additionally, they have the unique "Movement Sensors" ability, which allows them to detect stealthed units from a further distance, similar to the "Predatory Senses" seen in Saurus units.

They are recruitable from the Skryre Warmachine building at T4, as well as Ikit Claw’s unique landmark building at T3.

They make for excellent defensive infantry, ideal for guarding valuable weapon teams or artillery from stealth ambushes, cavalry and monsters. They are also great for supporting the front line, by first firing poisoned globes into the initial melee (in typical Skaven fashion), and then filling any gaps or cleaning up weakened enemies.
