Warforged Destroyer[edit]
One of the most advanced Warforged warriors crafted for the final battle. Taking a radical new direction in design and purpose. Able to shift from a slow, dangerous, battle machine capable of light spell slinging, to a speedy rolling platform
Radical New Design[edit]
Constructed to be a magic wielding heavy ranged support unit. Your designers broke from standard building designs and went with a radical new approach, creating an incredibly deadly but abysmally slow 3 legged platform, so with yet another radical approach to the design, a form shifting platform was created. Able to roll into the battle and then "deploy" into the battle form, early tests are extremely promising. Will you be able to secure more resources for your creators to put your design into mass production?
