Attributes
- Causes Fear
This unit frightens all enemy units, reducing their leadership when nearby. It is also immune to fear. Fear penalties do not stack.
- Construct
Constructs cannot be routed, but take damage when their Leadership is broken. Constructs also have: Fear and Terror Immunity Constructs may also have their hit points restored and stats boosted by special characters such as the Tomb Kings Necrotect.
- Hide (forest)
This unit can hide in forests until enemy units get too close.
Abilities
- CrumblingDirect Damage · Causes damage to selfpassiveCrumblingDirect DamageCauses damage to selfPassiveConstructs are inanimate objects given form and purpose through magical means. When that magic wavers and ebbs, as it inevitably will, it's immensely difficult to keep one 'alive' and in one piece.
- DisintegratingDirect Damage · Causes severe damage to selfpassiveDisintegratingDirect DamageCauses severe damage to selfPassiveNow that the sorcery that holds this Construct together has failed, the Winds of Magic flow out of it, leaving naught but an empty, static husk behind.

Patch changes
- Custom battle: now in the Undead Legions roster
Who can field it
- Tomb Kings · Khemri
- Undead Legions · Host of Nagash
Custom Battle lists factions under each race; every faction of a race fields that race's units (units_custom_battle_permissions rows of any of its factions). The name after the race is the faction the army builder uses.
Where these numbers come from
Read from the game's database tables for patch 9.0.4 (main_units, land_units, battle_entities, melee_weapons, projectiles…) as published in the WH3-Dump export (commit 099796e8). Formulas that turn table values into card values are checked against known units before they are shown — how we verify.
