Snagla's Deff Throwa (Goblin Bolt Throwa) are a Greenskins Regiment of Renown artillery unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer III with Omens of Destruction.
Recruitment[ | ]
Description[ | ]
The ability to spear a large monster from a distance or to skewer several man-sized creatures in a single shot appeals greatly to the violent and bloody nature of any Greenskin. The bolt thrower, or Bolt Throwa as it is termed by Orcs and Goblins, is a device commonly found in Greenskin armies. Working along the same lines as a giant crossbow, the device fires a single spear-sized bolt at high velocity. A well-placed shot can bring down a row of oncoming infantry, penetrate the armour of a steel-encased Knight or even slay an Ogre with a single shot – which is no easy feat given their considerable girth!
Attributes[ | ]
Field Artillery
- ▲ Armour-Piercing Missiles: 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.
- ▲ Anti-Large: Anti-Large: Anti-large units have an advantage against targets that are at least as large as a horse. This advantage can be a
damage bonus against large targets or an attack that focuses on a very small area. However, some units are simply better against large targets because their attacks are slow and easy to dodge by skilled melee combatants.
- ▼ Poor Accuracy: This unit's attacks are prone to go stray.
