Doomfire Warlocks

are a melee cavalry unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer II with The Queen and the Crone.
== Recruitment ==
* Unlocked with: Messengers' Lodgehouse or Messengers' Lodgehouse (Black Ark)
== Description ==
When Malekith first learned of the Prophecy of Demise, his initial wrathful blow fell against the Doomfire Warlocks of Hag Graef. Fearing their rebellion, the Witch King cursed them with hollowness, and their souls have teetered between the mortal world and the Realm of Chaos ever since. Thus, whilst other Elves fear Slaanesh as a potential fate, Doomfire Warlocks feel the Dark Prince's grasp on their souls grow with every passing day. As the grip tightens, dark runes blaze in to life on their flesh, an unholy fire that creeps slowly across the skin.
== Attributes ==
== Bound spells ==
* Lesser Doombolt
* Soulblight
== Strategy ==
Doomfire Warlocks are very good because they come with two bound spells: 
* Lesser Doombolt - is good for direct damage against an enemy. 
* Soulblight - is useful for debilitating an enemy. 
Both can be useful, but should be used wisely, they can only cast their spells while above 50% health, so be careful to use their utility earlier rather than later. 
Aside from their spells, they are good combatants with Magic and Poison damage as well as 40% Physical Resistance. Although their low Armour and low Melee Defence ensure they will not endure forever.
As the tool tip says they are also quite fast, so are useful for chasing off routing units and harassing. They can also be used as a support unit to your mobile wing, using Soulblight and Poison to debuff an enemy while your Scourgerunners, Cold Ones or Dragons do the heavy fighting.
All in all a deadly fast moving unit that brings unique utility spells to the battlefield.
