A Noob's Guide to Ikit Claw, the Skaven Warlock Engineer of Clan Skryre and one of the two new legendary lords in the Warlock and the Prophet DLC for Total War: Warhammer 2.
This video is a new style for me as I still am not able to sit down for Let's Plays. A bit of a quick witty commentary coupled with review and gameplay footage. Hopefully you'll enjoy it.

Truth be told that's better than my casualty report. My weapons teams made quick work of the enemy and had no one to test one of my 4 doomrockets on. Naturally I sent 4 units of skaven slaves with spears to huddle up in a blob before the enemy completely routed off the map and nuked them for "testing purposes." Moral of the story: Don't wait for that perfect moment with your doomrockets, because the second you get weapons teams there won't be any enemy blobs large enough to warrant using a nuke on.

@michaelrogerson6939 5 жыл бұрын

You can also spread the under-empire using the Warlock Engineer heroes, including the one from the rite. In fact, the one from the rite builds a really powerful lab that increases the number of warlock engineers you can have, increases research speed, and gives free XP every turn to your engineers. Combined with one of the unique buildings in Skavenblight, and Ikit can eventually, if you like, expand the under-empire most turns. Taking Karak Izor to your north is a must, as it makes all your new toys even better.
