Chaos Dwarfs monster unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer III with Forge of the Chaos Dwarfs.
Recruitment[]
Unlocked with: Monster Pens
Description[]
The Lammasu is a Manticore-like Chaos creature with the body of a gigantic bull, a powerful mace-tipped tail and a massive, ugly head. The Chaos Dwarfs believe that it is a rare mutation of the Great Taurus, a creature who is said to be less of a beast, but rather a manifestation of the Dark Land's rage. The Lammasu is a creature with magical properties, which breathes not ordinary air but the enchanted power of the Winds of Magic. As it exhales, whirling clouds of black sorcery are emitted, which wreathe themselves around the creature, ensorcelling it with protective power against hostile spells. The Lammasu is the favourite mount of the Chaos Dwarf Sorcerers.

Strategy[]
The Lammasu is a niche hero hunter unit. It inflicts Silence on any nearby any unit, an incredibly powerful effect, as well as negating any magical attacks they have. They can follow this up with debuffing bound spells. Although on their own they aren't particularly great fighters, if they're teamed up with a good SEM - or used as a mount for an Overseer - you hand a big advantage to your unit in a battle with any enemy character, and considering spellcasters and duelists are usually the most serious threat on the battlefield that makes them very useful.
Against AI armies that are prioritising numbers over quality however, the Bale Taurus is likely a better pick.
