This two-Skaven team requires one of its member to strap on the mortar upon his back while a second Skaven would load the ammunition inside the mortar itself. Additionally, with some hastily squealed directions, a team of Poisoned-Wind Mortar has the ability to fire their weapon on the go or fire indirectly at the enemy. Such a situation where hurting the enemy without risking their own lives has always been an appealing idea to any Skaven.<sup>[1a]</sup> When in combat, as the bulk of the firing apparatus can be strapped upon a crew member's back, the Weapons team can advance and catch up alongside Skaven infantry blocks, pausing momentarily to lob high-arching shots onto distant targets, before scurrying forward to keep up with the rest of the army. == Attributes == *[[File:wh2_dlc14_skv_missile_infantry_poisoned_wind_mortar.png]] '''Weapon Team''' {{Bulletpoint death globe}} {{Bulletpoint anti infantry}} {{Bulletpoint damage dealer}} {{Bulletpoint good range}} == Strategy == {{Strategy}} The primary difference is that this unit shoots death globes similar to the [[Death Globe Bombardiers]] rather than [[Poison Wind Globadiers]]. Effectively this only removes the [[Poisoned Wind]] contact effect from their attacks. Don't let that make you think they are weaker though. Their orbs break apart in the air just before landing creating more of a scattershot effect that can devastate units in a few volleys rather than dealing damage over time like the standard variant. Notably, their accuracy is not the best. The arcs they do are also fairly high so hitting a moving unit can be decently unreliable. This unit also has a fairly loose spacing which makes taking them out with ranged fire quite difficult, they are better dealt with through cavalry or harass units. Their high-arcing projectiles makes them effective in siege battles, where they can shoot over walls from a position of relative safety. {{Navbox Skaven units}} [[Category:Total War: Warhammer II units]] [[Category:Skaven units]] [[Category:The Shadow and the Blade units]] [[Category:Skaven missile infantry units]] [[Category:Regiments of Renown]]
