Khemrian Warsphinx

Khemrian Warsphinx is a Tomb Kings monster Construct unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer II with the Rise of the Tomb Kings DLC. A monolithic force of destruction on the battlefield - each tremendous footstep crushing many foolish warriors underfoot.

Description
Khemrian Warsphinxes are giant leonine statues that wade through the ranks of their foes, crushing them underfoot as if they were nothing more than bothersome insects. Almost impervious to harm, their stone-hard hides protect them from all but the truest strikes; anything less than a direct hit from a war machine is likely to glance harmlessly away. Atop each Khemrian Warsphinx is an ornate howdah in which several Tomb Guards ride. These elite warriors direct their mount's actions as if it were an extension of their own mummified bodies, laying into the foes below with great, double-handed spears. Khemrian Warsphinxes are terrifying foes the face, and enemies that do not flee before them are swatted aside by stone claws or torn apart by fanged jaws. However, this is just a fraction of their full destructive power. When a Khemrian Warsphinx rears up above its prey, those lurking in its shadow are doomed. As the leonine monster crashes down, it smashes its boulder-sized limbs into the ground with appalling force. The resultant shockwave knocks foes off their feet, pulping organs and splintering bones. Those that survive this earth-shattering impact find themselves in a crater of broken, twisted bodies. However, there can be no hope for anything caught directly underneath the point of impact. All that remains of these crushed unfortunates is a fine, red mist that sprays over the victim's stunned comrades.

Strategy
Aside from being an amusing and adorable murder kitty, the Warsphinx is a deadly and versatile construct. It is heavily armoured, causes fear and terror, has a bonus vs. infantry, and heavy armour piercing damage that makes it great for taking on most units in the game. The bonus vs. infantry obviously makes it best equipped for dealing damage to small units. However, with the Lore of Nehekhara, one can give it a bonus vs. large that can assist it in fighting enemy monsters and large units. On top of this, they also have archers on the back that allows the unit a degree of missile pressure from a distance. A Necrotect can also help make this unit more combat effective and survivable.
