GAME :  Age of Sigma

In the chaotic and treacherous world of Warhammer Age of Sigmar, the Skaven are a malevolent race of ratmen who thrive in the shadows, driven by their insatiable hunger for power and domination. Among their many horrific war machines, the Doom Flayers stand out as terrifying constructs designed to sow destruction and chaos on the battlefield. These fearsome devices are a testament to the Skaven's twisted ingenuity and their relentless pursuit of war.

Overview of Doom Flayers

Doom Flayers are massive, wheeled war machines used by the Skaven, particularly favored by Clan Skryre, the clan of warlock engineers and mad scientists. These machines are equipped with razor-sharp blades and are designed to mow down enemies with terrifying speed and ferocity. The Doom Flayers embody the Skaven's penchant for creating deadly contraptions that combine technology and chaos.

Key Characteristics

Devastating Weaponry: Doom Flayers are armed with spinning blades and other deadly implements that can slice through enemy ranks with ease. Their primary function is to charge into enemy formations, causing massive casualties and creating chaos in the ranks.

High Mobility: These war machines are designed for speed and maneuverability, allowing them to traverse the battlefield quickly. This mobility enables them to flank enemy units, strike at vulnerable targets, and retreat when necessary.

Psychological Warfare: The sight and sound of a Doom Flayer charging into battle can instill fear in the hearts of enemies. The chaos and destruction they bring can disrupt enemy formations and morale, making them a valuable asset in psychological warfare.

Skaven Crew: Each Doom Flayer is operated by a crew of Skaven, typically consisting of Clan Skryre engineers and other ratmen who are responsible for maintaining and directing the machine. Their presence adds to the overall chaos and unpredictability of the unit.

Strategic Use in Gameplay

Shock Assaults: Deploy Doom Flayers as shock troops to break through enemy lines. Their ability to cause massive damage upon impact makes them ideal for engaging enemy units and disrupting their formations.

Flanking Maneuvers: Use the mobility of Doom Flayers to flank enemy units or target vulnerable support units. Their speed allows them to bypass frontline defenses and strike at key targets, creating openings for your other Skaven forces.

Objective Control: Position Doom Flayers to contest or secure objectives. Their ability to cause chaos and destruction can deter enemy units from contesting key points on the battlefield.

Conclusion

The Skaven Doom Flayers are a terrifying and dynamic addition to any Skaven army in Warhammer Age of Sigmar. Their combination of speed, devastating weaponry, and psychological impact makes them a formidable force on the battlefield, capable of turning the tide of battle in favor of the Skaven.

Whether you’re a player looking to enhance your Skaven army or a lore enthusiast exploring the depths of the Age of Sigmar universe, Doom Flayers stand as a testament to the chaotic ingenuity and relentless ambition of the Skaven.

In the name of the Great Horned Rat, let your Doom Flayers roll forth and unleash chaos upon your enemies!


This multipart plastic kit builds two Doom-Flayers – terrifying and ramshackle Skaven war-engines. These machines careen across the battlefields of the Mortal Realms, viciously hacking their way through enemy lines with whirling blades of death. These miniatures come with a choice of two heads and two arms for each Doom-Flayer pilot, and can be built either leaning to the left or the right.

This kit contains 32 plastic components, and 2x Citadel 50mm Round Bases. These miniatures are supplied unassembled and unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
