Kruleboyz – Beast-skewer Killbow
5" 5 5+ 2 In the Realm of Beasts, sometimes a volley of crossbow bolts the length of a man’s arm is not quite enough. So it was that the vicious-looking devices known as Beast-skewer Killbows were invented. These are not crossbows so much as orruk-portable ballistas capable of penetrating a Stonehorn’s hide and cracking apart the rocky skeleton beneath. Even the strongest man would struggle to cock such a bow, let alone carry it to battle, but for the ‘big shots’ that use them, these Killbows are constant companions.
Whenever there is a nice juicy target to be impaled, whether it be a roving monster or enemy leader, the Beast-skewer boys will set up their weapons on a solid surface, line up a shot and let fly. A snivelling grot servant is always kept close at hand to carry a quiver full of spears on the orruk big shot’s behalf and help reload the Killbow all the faster after each bolt is loosed. Should the orruk miss their mark, their assistant can look forward to a resounding thump around the noggin for ‘mukkin’ it up again’. | ||

Hit Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or exceeds the attacking weapon’s Hit characteristic, the attack scores a successful hit: move on to the next step. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. Unmodified hit rolls of 1 always fail. If an unmodified hit roll for an attack made with a weapon is a 6, that attack is a critical hit.| Critical hits have no effect on their own but often trigger additional effects (see 20.0 Weapon Abilities). | ||
Crit (Mortal)
If an attack made with this weapon scores a critical hit, that attack inflicts mortal damage on the target unit equal to the Damage characteristic of that weapon and the attack sequence ends.The DESTRUCTION keyword is used in the following Kruleboyz warscrolls:

Shooting attacks
Shooting attacks are made with ranged weapons. The target unit(s) must be within a distance equal to the Range characteristic of the weapon being used and visible to the attacking model. Models cannot make shooting attacks if their unit is in combat, unless otherwise specified (see 20.0 Weapon Abilities).Save Roll
The commander of the target unit rolls a dice, subtracting the attacking weapon’s Rend characteristic from the roll. Unmodified save rolls of 1 always fail. If the roll equals or exceeds the Save characteristic of the target unit, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. If not, it is a successful attack: move on to the next step.Crit (Auto-wound)
If an attack made with this weapon scores a critical hit, that attack automatically wounds the target. Make a save roll as normal.Anti-X (+1 Rend)
Add 1 to this weapon’s Rend characteristic if the target has the keyword after ‘Anti-’ or fulfils the condition after ‘Anti-’. Multiples of this ability are cumulative. For example, if a weapon has both Anti-charge (+1 Rend) and Anti-HERO (+1 Rend), then add 2 to the Rend characteristic of the weapon for attacks that target a HERO that charged in the same turn.The WAR MACHINE keyword is used in the following Kruleboyz warscrolls:
