This puts it on par with a Giant for overall durability.<\/p>\n<p>Movement<br \/>The Doomwheel moves 3d6&#8243; a turn for an average movement of 10-11&#8243;.  This makes its overall movement better than a chariot of cavalry on average since this is not slowed by models being nearby (ie it has no March move, it just trundles along at a steady pace).  Even better, it does not need to have line of sight to charge, it can just zig around the board without a care in the world.<\/p>\n<p>The machine does suffer d3 S4 hits if it moves into difficult terrain, but so what?  On average that&#8217;s two hits, and each one needs a SIX to cause a wound.  It takes d6 S10 hits if it moves into a building or impassable terrain.  Ouch.  But at least it&#8217;s not automatically destroyed.<\/p>\n<p>Ranged<br \/>The Doomwheel shoots three lightning bolts every turn.  They hit automatically.
