They are ultra fast assault wheels, with lots of nasty FF attacks and void shields.

Do they belong to anyone exclusively, or does any particular Chaos faction make more use of them than others?  Would it make for a Greater Deamon Engine aka Lord of Battles/Plague Tower/Warp Palace?  

Slaanesh are without a GD Engine so I'd be inclined to make it a Preatorian class Greater Deamon/Deamon Engine.  Maybe a couple of Void Shields, normal Slaanesh ability (Glamour), good speed, Death Roller type ability and maybe firepower equal to a pair of Baneblades.  Sound about right?

It does seem to have a Slaanesh feel about it.  I know a friend who would be mighty happy for a nasty Slaanesh Wheel of Pleasure.

They are a generic Chaos unit that was created for E:A and can be used by any faction.

Slaanesh Greater Engine - The greater engines are just "scaled up" from the lesser engines.  Contagion/Tower, Khorne engines/LoB, Towers/Palace (and arguabley Doomwing/Firelord for Tzeentch as well).  Knights/scout titans is the Slaanesh version.

Not that you're not free to set up stuff however you like if you don't want to go with that pattern.  It's your game.  I'm just pointing out that there is a supposed greater engine for Slaanesh in that pattern.

The Deathwheel is generic with respect to faction.  The intent and background was Abaddon ordered a lot of different kinds of daemon engines to be built.   The Deathwheel is just one of them.  The small amount of background doesn't strictly restrict it to any particular chaos group (faction or legion), but it is associated with the 13th Black Crusade led by Black Legion.

Ok, ta.  Looks like it might not be the best unit to solve the Slaanesh lack in NetEpic then.  Slaanesh sort of lucked in/out with the Knights/Scout Titans as they have them, but they missed out on an actual "Greater Deamon in an Engine" type unit like the other powers....so they only have 2 GD choices as opposed to the 3 for the other powers.

However, it does sound like the Death Wheel is a significantly bigger beast than other Deamon Engines (Contagion/Brass Scorpion/Death Dealer etc...), and the only comparable units have all had a GD in them.  Nothing wrong with breaking precedent though :)

If the Death Wheel can fill in a "missing" unit for NetEpic, I say go for it. Something that size could have a GD in it.

It can certainly be added via Incoming... come on chaps, articles please ;).

I already posted my suggestion for stats (Defiler, Death Wheel and Decimator) to the net epic yahoo group long time ago. Unsurprisingly, nobody commented on them so I guess they're perfect. Just like evrything else I do...  :devil:


One for the Macharius would legendary as well :D.


No need to. There's already Rogal Dorn I invented for some back issue of Incoming along with a few other vehicles. The armament is almost identical. I guess someone at Forge World reads Incoming...  :;):  :p
