	The Doomwheel was a concept that originated in Leonardo da Vinci's sketches but only came into prominence during World War 1 as a hypothetical solution to the bloody and stagnant nature of trench warfare. It's inventors and supporters believed it would become a new trend that would revolutionize warfare as they knew it. Sadly, the conservative nay-sayers (who most likely supported and went with the British Mark 1) thought that the novel concept was too stupid to succeed and catch on, let alone become practical enough for any nation to use in any meaningful numbers. But there are still those who believe in the monowheel fighting vehicle concept even to this day as the British and Germans made their own takes on it for research and experimentation (see Dynasphere and Kugelpanzer) and has found its niche with a new lease on life as a Sci-fi vehicle concept.

	Imagine a hamster in a hamster wheel. Now imagine that the hamster wheel is ten meters tall, fires nuclear-magic-laser beams that are powered by [[warpstone\|solidified hell energy]], has a [[Skaven\|drugged-up ratman]] [[Clan Skryre\|engineer with a gun on top]] and instead of a hamster it houses a pack of giant mutant rats hopped up on drugs and steroids (who are likely on fire and cannibalizing each other while running).

	That is the DOOMWHEEL. DOOMWHEEL is always written in all caps and is one of the only things in [[WHFB\|Warhammer Fantasy]] that's XTREME and METAL enough for [[Doomrider]] to look at. But who cares what Doomrider says, since it invariably loops back to cocaine, LSD, and whores.		That is the DOOMWHEEL.

	So yeah, doomwheel is just a glorified chariot with better ap melee staying power, magic ap range weapon that fires randomly and the ability to cause terror (meaning it almost-always guarantee to route an infantry unit that is not undead). It is however very squishy when compared to its small variant, the doom-flayer, despite having a lot of armor. It requires a lot of babysitting and its range weapon seems pretty underwhelming as it doesn't seem to kill anything or deal any damage despite it's shots were often seen penetrating a crowd of infantry.

	The DOOMWHEEL is [[Clan Skryre]]'s crowning achievement, and the very greatest work of that absolute madrat [[Ikit Claw]], who was obsessed with outdoing himself on pretty much every weapon he'd had a hand in developing up to that point. The DOOMWHEEL is the result of that obsession; a terrifying design so openly and unabashedly "Skaven" that even the imperial college of engineers look at this mechanical monstrosity and scratch their heads at the thought of how the hell these things even manage to stay upright without exploding immediately. The team of rats inside the wheel both power the guns by charging the warpstone generator, and also keep the thing moving, while the drugged out Warlock-Engineer directs the DOOMWHEEL forward, blasting warp-lightning until it runs out of things to shoot. Part of its genius is the sheer audacity of it: most don't know what the hell the Skaven are doing when they first see it, and are often caught very off-guard by the team of mutant ratmen getting into this overturned barrel of warpstone. They are usually then completely smashed flat or zapped into dust by said warpstone barrel moving faster than most cavalry charges.
