Favorite Large Single Entity Unit?

GreenxDragon1·2/7/2020 in General

There are plenty of large and terrifying creatures in the Warhammer Fantasy World, so I figured I’d poke around to see what everyone’s favorites are and why? This is excluding lords and heroes (and their specific named mounts) because they would skew this, and I want the focus to be on the creature itself.

Greater Deamons, in specific those of Khorne. Since they're the most powerful of them all.

But Greater Deamons because they're regarded as nigh-unstoppable powerhouses and basically are the most powerful single entities in the Warhammer Fantasy world, being Chaos incarnate in the essence.

But since you explicitly mentioned creatures from the Warhammer World itself, and Greater Deamons first need to be able to materialise through the winds of Chaos in order to become reality, I can understand it if you want to exclude those as well.

This feels very cheap to say, but I'll say it anyway. Steam tanks. Particularly the "Alter Kamerad". More barrels = More shots = More lethality?

Yes.

They are the most magnificent example of Humanity's expertise and ingenuity when it comes to blasting things into bloody pieces. Bedecked with steel armour? Check.

Multiple armaments, each deadlier than the last? Check that too.

Special abilities? Yep.

Looks absolutely amazing? Definitely.

The only thing that makes me hesitant about the steam tank is the fact that... well, it's a tank. It has a crew, so I don't think it really counts.

Therefore, my new favourite single entity unit is now...

The Necrofex Colossus.

I love it. It looks amazing, it's got a cannon for a hand, the way it's ramshackled together with corpses and ship hulls, it really is the coolest thing I've ever seen.

Devastating against the common rabble, decent accuracy for other single entity units, good armour and endurance (and also quite a bit of flexibility) makes this my other favourite single entity unit.

Dwarf lords. Large in my heart

Necrosphinxs look pretty badass and can chop up dragons

@Victorem Bert Daemons work as well for this.

@Jobogriff Steam tanks are also acceptable in this instance, but only because they are barely able to function and lore wise often explode.
