"I was scoutin' the approach, lookin' fer signs of the enemy, when I saw the most curious creature I've ever seen at the 'ead of the enemy's forces." "It were all brass an' spikes! I couldn't tell where the metal ended an' the beast began. From where we was hidin', it seemed more a machine than a livin' thing. The only thing what made me sure it was livin' were its eyes, for they burned like the flames of a Witchhunter's pyre: cold an' hot all at once." "The Chaos Warrior on its back bellowed orders, an' the monster moved forward with great effort. As it gained speed, the ground shook. It crashed into the palisade and smashed it to splinters with nary a wound to itself. The beast slowed down a trice, then rumbled towards the Keep wall itself." "I took that as my signal to hoof it. I ran an' ran until I couldn't run no more. I've seen Steam Tanks in the service of the Emperor, an' I think I'd rather take my chances 'gainst one of them than face another Juggernaut." - Sebastian Scholz, Woodsman
