Age of Sigmar: Gloomspite Gitz - Doom Diver Catapult
Code: 5011921225774
Product detailed description
"When reason fails, the catapult takes over!"
The Doom Diver Catapult is the iconic weapon of the Gloomspite Gitz – a mad creation of Goblin engineering that uses live Grots with bombs on their heads instead of conventional ammunition. It is a symbol of anarchy, courage, and complete disregard for safety.
About the Unit
The Doom Diver Catapult originates from the deep caves inhabited by the Gloomspite Gitz. It is a bizarre artillery unit that launches Grots into the air, who then crash with an explosion onto the enemy ranks. Each Grot is equipped with a bomb cap and the hope of surviving the impact – which rarely happens. The fighting style is chaotic, unpredictable, and extremely destructive.
Where does the Doom Diver Catapult belong?
The Doom Diver Catapult is part of the game Warhammer Age of Sigmar, specifically the Gloomspite Gitz faction, which brings together mad Grots, Squigs, and other creatures from dark caves. Its purpose is to cause maximum chaos and confusion in enemy ranks.
It belongs to the artillery units – providing strong long-range fire support with high risk and reward.
Ideal for players who want to play aggressively, with an emphasis on unpredictability, humour, and devastation.
