“ | Created by the forges of Nuln for the Guild masters of Marienburg, this prototype has had no expense spared on its finery or munitions. | „ |
The Wonder of the Age (Land Ship) is an Empire Regiment of Renown war machine unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer III with Thrones of Decay.
Recruitment[ | ]
Description[ | ]
Designed by Gunnery School Engineer, Hezekiah Guttman, the Marienburg Land Ship was proposed as a whimsical boat-shaped alternative to a Steam Tank. As much a project of vanity as one of defence, the end product was a grotesquely-sized, hulking contraption of war, dubbed "The Wonder of the Age" by the provost-marshal of the Imperial Gunnery School. Hastily mimicked designs later commissioned by Imperial forces never quite matched the awesome firepower of the first Land Ship, though it has not stopped them rolling to war when their great expense can be spared. Traversing battlefields on huge, sturdy wheels, Land Ships dwarf the men that fight beside them, providing devastating firepower for the Imperial war effort.
Attributes[ | ]
War Machine
- ▲ Upgraded Crew Weaponry: This unit's crew has more powerful weaponry.
- ▲ Armoured: Armoured units can block damage from any source apart from
Armour-Piercing damage.
- ▲ 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.
- ▲ Fire Whilst Moving: This unit can fire while on the move.
