Information

The Orcish Demolisher has always been a standing asset to the Horde. Capable of hurling fiery projectiles over great distances, Orcish Demolishers have been the doom of many Alliance regiments. Though a small team of Orcs must always be available to man these destructive machines, unerringly Demolishers serve as the Horde's greatest siege weapon.
