Description:

Inferno Release 1 Tech Room Description

The Warlock supercarrier is the largest GTVA warship since the Colossus. Able to carry and launch hundreds of fighter and bomber wings, its extensive capabilities are all based around providing a centralised, secure command and control facility for fleet-wide operations. Heavily armed and armored, the Warlock is well-defended by its own extensive flak and beam arrays, and a formidable forward array of super-heavy beam cannons. Each Warlock is considered to be the centre of its attending fleet.


Scroll of Atankharzim Tech Room Description

The Warlock-class supercarrier is the Terran equivalent to the GVCa Tanen, with a fighterbay capable of accommodating 100 wings of fighters and bombers. The Warlock is minimally armed, with most of its interior space devoted to hangars and maintenance facilities. Only two of these vessels have yet been constructed, as the Terrans have been reluctant to commit to large ships in the aftermath of the Capella Incursion.


PBR Release Tech Room Description

The Warlock-class supercarrier is the Terran equivalent to the Tanen, with a fighterbay capable of accommodating 100 wings of fighters and bombers. Perhaps learning the wrong lessons from the construction of the Hecate, the Warlock's armament includes more anti-capital ship firepower than would be suggested for a ship of its combat role. Of course, the Terrans have not neglected its point defense weaponry, as its armament bristles with flak guns and AAA beams for fighter and bomber suppression. Only a few of these vessels have yet been constructed, as the Terrans have been reluctant to commit to large ships in the aftermath of the Capella Incursion.

Veteran Comments

Please read the Veteran Comments policy before editing this section.


The Warlock has shown its age since INFR1. Up close, its tiled textures look horrible. Its textures and UV maps require adept attention if one wants to use it in their campaign.


An updated version of the Warlock was released by the Scroll of Atankharzim staff in June 2015. The new version has its own tables and some minor changes to its armament, but it is also designed to be compatible with any and all mods that use the older Warlock model.

A PBR version, released by Nyctaeus in July 2020, includes animated hangar doors. Aside reworked hangarbay area, this one has identical turret and subsystem layout as first HTL Warlock.
