Poisoned Wind Mortars
The aim is calibrated, the muzzle is loaded and “FOOMPH!”, the deadly orb of Warpstone Gas is away!The Poisoned Wind Mortar is a form of light-artillery that allows a small team of Globadiers to lob a much larger payload of Poisoned Wind Globes at a much greater range than a lone Globadier could ever hope to achieve. 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 Poisoned Wind Mortar has the ability to fire on the go or 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.

Strengths & Weaknesses
- Poison Wind Globes
Misleadingly, and to the horror of anyone exposed to its content, the globes thrown by the Poison Wind Globadiers do not release poison, but a small cloud of lethal Warpstone gas. The larger the target's surface, the more pain it will experience. - 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. - 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.
