Orruk Warclans – Beast-skewer Killbow

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’.
