Kruleboyz – Man-skewer Boltboyz
5" 2 5+ 1 Some Kruleboyz prefer to kill at a distance, such as the crossbow-wielding Man‑skewer Boltboyz. Many Ironjawz bosses spit at the very idea of ranged attack, claiming ‘it ain’t orruky’. Yet when battle is joined and the first kills are claimed by the Boltboyz, such detractors fall strangely silent. The Boltboyz themselves simply shrug and walk at an unhurried pace towards the survivors, reloading as they go.
When on the hunt, Man-skewer Boltboyz fire to injure rather than to kill, relishing the sight of a crippled enemy limping away before the next volley puts them down for good. In battle, they go right for the headshot. Many soldiers have dismissed an orruk shoota-line in the belief that they are terrible shots, only to find man-skewer bolts have a very long reach and pack enough punch to send an armoured enemy flying backwards. It is common practice amongst the Boltboyz to coat their bolts in the most horrendous toxins, and the spikes on each bolt are made deliberately brittle so they snap off to leave shards in the wound. With a sadistic cackle and a ‘clunk-click’ of reloader arms, the orruks are soon ready to shoot again. | ||

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.
