Warpstone Flux Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
5/5 stars. A very dangerous Lord of War for the traitor mechanicum.
Background.
Who decided that a mechanized scorpion armed with lots of ranged weapons was a great design? Probably the fevered dreams of traitor Mechanicus is who. Despite the strength of its ranged weapons, those close combat claws are very much favoured and its blood lust is just as legendary.
Strengths.
Treated as a knight, the scorpion comes with a dangerous array of ranged weapons. These include the scorpion cannon - a shredding, pinning, 9 shot heavy bolter. A pair of hell maw cannons which are flamers with torrent at S=7. Plus a demolisher cannon that also rends.
If that's not enough those two mechanized claws are amazing. Brutal (2) on its own is great. But the scorpion also has some special rules that make this even worse like rampage and hammer of wrath (four!!).
The whole thing isn't slow either with a movement rate of 10 which is great for this kind of creature.
Weaknesses.
Rear armour = 12. That's all I've got under weaknesses.
Overall.
Your opponents will not like you. Especially those that run dreadnought lists. Or Knight lists. Or frankly most things short of a titan.

Of course, the existence of a GREATER brass scorpion suggests the existence of a lesser brass scorpion. And if we are unlucky, the Greatest brass scorpion...
