Recruitment[ | ]

Description[ | ]

When a Daemon's physical body is slain, he can surrender his true name to the Forge of Souls. The dark bargain thus sealed, his crippled essence is bound to a mighty Warp-metal hulk. Thus is he reborn as a Soul Grinder. A Soul Grinder's clanking tread shakes the ground with every step, and it is devilishly fast for a creature its size, able to scuttle swift as a horse's gallop, or even faster should the scent of battle touch its nostrils. Piston-driven legs thud home with sickening force, crushing to bloody paste those beneath.

Attributes[ | ]

  • Wh3 soul grinder melee Monster
  • Armoured: Armoured units can block damage from any source apart from Modifier icon armour piercingArmour-Piercing damage.
  • Armour-Piercing: The damage of Modifier icon armour piercingarmour-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.
  • Causes Terror: This unit can cause terror, making its melee target rout for a short time. Units that cause terror are immune to terror and fear themselves.
  • Soporific Musk: The attacks of this unit reduce the enemy into a stupor, lowering their ability to attack and defend themselves.

Strategy[ | ]

The Slaanesh Soul Grinder has no special ranged attacks unlike the other variants, but has speed and melee bonuses characteristic of Slaanesh.

It is a heavy fighting monster with armor-piercing, anti-large magical attacks. Thus it is efficient at hunting down critical enemy cavalry, monsters, or large characters, with best efficiency against armored, demon, or ethereal units.

On the Slaanesh roster, it competes in role with the Keeper of Secrets, which is faster and can cast some spells but lacks armor and anti-large. Use the Keeper as a mobile hit man and the Soul Grinders as a more independent fighters who can slug it out with cavalry or similar.
