Full wording ▾
The cybersorcerous power of Vashtorr’s boons is much in evidence amongst his worshippers. Nowhere is this more true than in the war engines that his cults take into battle, and which exhibit a nightmarish variety of biomechanoid mutations and daemon‑spawned powers. Whether wreathed in balefire, shimmeringly insubstantial or constantly regrowing battle‑damaged hull plating, these accursed war machines are incredibly hard to destroy.
