What is engine of the gods?

Around 300 points of awesome. It's sorta like a cauldron of blood...on a stegadon.

If a skink priest is mounted on an ancient stegadon, then the stegadon replaces its giant blowpipes with the engine. The engine makes the priest count as one level higher for casting and dispelling (i.e. a lvl 1 skink priest would generate 2 casting dice, but still only one dispel dice. He also only gets one spell. A lvl 2 priest would generate 3 casting dice, 2 dispel dice but still only have 2 spells). The engine itself can do one of the following things in the magic phase (note that these are not magic, therefore cannot be dispelled).

1. Make the casting value of every spell in one lore one lower than usual for your turn (i.e. fireball goes from 5+ to cast to 4+ to cast). Only one steggy an affect each lore.
2. Hit all enemy units within 2d6 inch with d6 str 4 no armour save hits. Daemons, undead and forest spirits take str 5 hits instead.
3. Give all friendly units within 12" a 5+ ward save against getting shot.

Ok, Thanks!

Having seen that in action it's as horrific as it sounds

- Salvage

Also important to note that it's effects cannot be dispelled.

Is it possible to have the engine of the gods, skink priest and giant bow at the same time?

nope , and only 1 power at a time

ok, but can you have the crew, priest and the engine?

Engine comes from the priest as upgrade mount option.
Skink crew stays, but main stegadon weapon replaced.

Thanks!
