Bloat Thrall
The bloat thrall is crudely assembled from the bodies of half a dozen men with no regard for anatomy, only usefulness. Necrotechs then select as many as a dozen humans and animals to be skinned alive in order to provide the epidermis necessary to cover these monstrosities. The flesh, left uncured, is stretched over the thrall's mechanikal skeletal armature. Finally, the disgusting necromantic construct is fitted with a thick iron valve mounted directly into its bowels. Before each battle, massive storage tanks are latched to the valve and their bodies are pumped full of caustic sludge. The bloat thrall is an abomination in both form and function, and the armies of the living are wise to fear it.

Thoughts on Bloat Thrall
Bloat Thrall in a Nutshell
Ranged combat solo that plays more akin to an artillery piece. Also basically a big fat Bile Thrall.
Combos & Synergies
- They kind of need Mobius.
- Anything that can help them shoot better and hit harder.
Drawbacks & Downsides
- Pretty garbage stats. Don't be fooled by their 8 HP and ARM 14. They will die to any two direct hits and with DEF 10, even the most inaccurate model will hit them on average dice.
