Warplock Jezzails
These ludicrously long-barrelled guns require two Skaven to operate effectively, though safety be damned!Warplock Jezzails are specialised teams of marksmen bearing weaponry of the same name - long-barrelled muskets requiring a two-rat Skaven team to fire and reload. This is because their barrels are extraordinarily long, giving them the capability of hitting targets at far greater distances than conventional bows or blackpowder firearms. When fired, a single bullet made of refined toxic Warpstone is unleashed, striking with a force capable of penetrating even the thickest armour. The bullets leave a faint green vapour trail in the air, which generally exposes the team to enemy fire. For this reason, a protective pavise shield, designed to screen themselves from retaliatory arrows, bolts and bullets, is also carried.

Abilities
- Scurry Away!
"He who runs away lives to fight another day!" - so the foul, craven adage goes. - Strength in Numbers
Skaven are craven by nature but take courage when in packs of their own kind, where they move slower but enjoy the safety of numbers.
Attributes
- Hide (forest)
This unit can hide in forests until enemy units get too close.
Strengths & Weaknesses
- Good Range
This unit has a larger range than most other units of the same class. This allows it to take out hostile missile units before they can come into firing range. - 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. - Damage Dealer
This unit has a strong emphasis on dealing damage. If fighting it, make sure to take it out before it can get into firing or melee range.
