Silver Tower of Tzeentch

Silver Towers of Tzeentch, also known simply as Silver Towers, are large Daemon Engines of the Chaos God of change and deceit, Tzeentch. Silver Towers are an outlandish sight on the battlefield, appearing as clusters of intricately carved and fluted towers resting upon a circular island topped with slender minarets of gold and bronze. Each Silver Tower is subtly different in its creation, yet all are disturbingly beautiful, with fine snouts of weird, magically-powered weapons studding forth from their walls. The most disturbing aspect of the Silver Towers, however, is that they are not land-locked vehicles, but drift gently through the skies above the battlefield.

Each tower contains dozens of Tzeentchian Thrall-wizards who all focus their powers to rain magical destruction upon the foes of their master below. The Thrall-wizards do not control the tower itself, as it is controlled by a trapped daemon of Tzeentch, this meaning that if the thralls are all killed some how then the tower can simply retreat to gather more. Only the complete construction of the entire tower will ensure that the threat has truly passed. The most potent of all the tower's abilities however are the warding runes woven about the towers, so that as the machine advances, a wall of magical warp energy springs up around them, protecting both the tower itself, the Thrall-wizards that reside within, and any nearby friendly units.

Armament
The Silver Tower's weapon systems are powered by the Thrall-wizards that operate within the tower. These psykers power the tower's many weapons using the power of the warp, and thus all weapons used by the tower fire beams of pure warp energy at their targets. Each Silver Tower is usually armed with at least a single turret-mounted Beam of Power weapon, this is the tower's main weapon and it is powerful enough to engage enemy armoured vehicles. The tower is also armed with several other turret-mounted weapons known as Bolts of Change. These weapons are not as powerful as the Beam of Power weapon, instead they feature a higher rate of fire than the tower's main weapon. The weapon is fired in volleys, and the number of shots fired from the tower's secondary weapons are always random, as befitting the Lord of Change. The exact number of secondary cannons mounted on the vehicle are unknown to the Inquisition, the number may simply be different from one Silver Tower to the next, as befitting the randomness of Tzeentch.
