Snotling Pump Wagons

Snotling Pump Wagons are a Greenskins chariot unit introduced in The Warden and the Paunch.

Description
The Snotling Pump Wagon is a wooden fighting platform on wheels. Like a chariot, a Pump Wagon hurtles towards the foe to run them over. However, the Pump Wagon rumbles under its own power, with momentum provided by Snotlings, who frantically pump crude contraptions and cranks to drive the belts that turn the wheels.

With spikes, or sometimes a heavy roller fitted to the front, the Pump Wagon crushes any foes (or crew) that fall before it. The crudely constructed war machine is built and crewed by Snotlings. This is surprising, as Snotlings barely know how to use tools, and are extremely dim – often struggling even to pick their own noses. How it is that Snotlings become possessed of enough know-how to construct a formidable killing device like the Pump Wagon should be considered one of the great green wonders of the world. Or at least it would be if greenskins cared about such things; but they don't.

Snotlings buzz with strange purpose when Waaagh! energy is in the air. They instinctively gather materials, heaping all manner of junk in a pile. When the rubbish mound is large enough they begin to build. The Snotlings work without language or plans. Many small green hands lash wooden beams together. In unison they pound broken blades into a log to make the formidable spiky roller. Crude wheels are built or scavenged. With such an anarchic building process, it is never quite known what the Snotling-built device will look like. Whether it is a shanty hut on wheels, a great teetering tower, or a mere wooden frame with planks for the crew to walk on, it still crashes into the foe with the same devastating and bone-breaking crunch!

Attributes

 * ↑ Anti-Infantry: Anti-infantry units have an advantage against targets that are smaller than a horse. This advantage can be a damage bonus against small targets, superior weight used to smash through lighter enemies, or an explosive attack from range that effects a large area.
 * ↑ Armour-Piercing: The damage of armour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets
 * ↑ Expendable: Witnessing friendly units rout does not reduce other units Leadership, unless they themselves are expendable.

Abilities

 * Pump Harder Ladz!

Strategy
The Snotling Pump Wagon is a very efficient anti-infantry chariot for its cost. It is difficult to pin down and can do lots of damage if it is allowed to run roughshod over the front line. Due to its speed, damage and anti-infantry capabilities, it is exceptional for attacks on the enemy's rear - particularly against artillery crews or tightly grouped ranged troops. They are fairly efficient at making holes in stagnant front-lines - when used as a flanking element against infantry alreaedy engaged in melee, they can quickly force a rout due to their ability to repeatedly deal damage to multiple individuals in a unit.
