No, but if you made up a civilization of these creatures based on the premise that as a fortress crumbles it's compliment of necros goes feral and bands together in larger and larger groups, attacking targets much larger than themselves. You could have sieges of swarms of really weak but intense and numerous necros to fight against with your own. Imagine your iron clad soldiers being swamped in 15-20 necros each, struggling to survive against. One wonders if you increase the scale based on population or wealth created, easy scout groups sent out by the horde to find new bodies, battlefields and corpses to reproduce and tighten their necrotic grip on the world.

If you tweaked the files, you could end up different castes created to serve different purposes. Ones composed of a gas bag and two legs to serve as a suicide soldier, another as a building destroyer to act as a battering ram, yet another fast attack capable of throwing soldiers and tearing through defensive positions and then attacking your civilians.

Then there can be death troops, which are rare but nigh unkillable.

Frankenstein monsters would require doctor skills to create. A butcher might get to make the parts, but the doctor puts it all together.

Butcher for the lower forms, the more basic soldiers. Doctors for the higher, tougher forms.

Wow, that "theme song" scares me...

As in six-armed dwarfenstein's monsters with adamantine battleaxes grafted onto each hand?

[elf-fondling human]

No, as in adamantine axes grafted onto three hands and platinum crossbows grafted onto the other three, with smaller hands grafted behind them to reload and shoot them.

With adamantine plating stitched into the skin?

[elf-fondling human]

What else?

[Vorthon]

adamantine rebar in the flesh, duh.

So we are excited about engineering a user-created creature that chews through most forgotten beasts with ease? And then setting it against our dwarfs? Interesting... your all a bunch of masochists, you know that right?

I'm well aware of it. *Points at user text.*

[jamesadelong]

Nah, it's fine. I'm just making sure I'm on the same page. Well, I was thinking, rather than single plates, use a number of smaller plates with redundant limbs and organs. This it can sustain damage. Also, necrotic syndrome blood.

And some kind of freaky magic vortex in the mouth (Granted, that's probably gonna be several releases down the line, but still) that allows the abomination to spit slade bolts forged from the very plains of hell itself. And the occasional demon.
