Total War: WARHAMMER Wiki

Spike-armoured Ogre and thunderous, indefatigable mountain beast: the heaviest shock cavalry in the known world.

Mournfang Cavalry (Ironfists) are an Ogre Kingdoms melee cavalry unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer III with Ogre Kingdoms (DLC).

Recruitment[]

Description[]

High up the slopes of the Mountains of Mourn lives a cave­dwelling beast that has always attracted the attention of the Ogres – the Mournfang. Aggressive predators that stalk the icy slopes, they are led by the largest of their kind and, working together, they can hunt and kill anything that lives in that harsh domain. Mournfangs have a notorious tenacity that makes even the most powerful of creatures think twice about confronting them. Ogre tales tell of defiant Mournfangs refusing to give ground and every tribe has a story about a beast continuing to fight long after drawing its last breath.

Attributes[]

  • Monstrous Cavalry
  • Armoured: Armoured units can block damage from any source apart from Armour-Piercing damage.
  • Ironfist: The ironfist is used by the Ogres to parry blows and block missiles.
  • Armour-Piercing: The damage of armour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.

Strategy[]

Mournfang cavalry, but with missile block, slightly higher armor, and a decent increase in melee defense. This unit functions similarly to the standard mournfang cavalry unit, but is less vulnerable to missle fire. One should still be mindful of units with armor piercing missiles as they will still heavily damage this unit.
