Ratling Gun

The Ratling Gun is a large multi-barreled whirling death-dealing machine crafted by the Warlock-Engineers of Clan Skyre to unleash a hail of warpstone bullets against the enemies of the Skaven race. Though a relatively new design and of questionable reliability, the Ratling Gun is nonetheless proven itself so successful that Clan Skyre simply cannot make enough to satisfy the greedy demands of the Warlord Clans. Powered by warp-steam and kicked into gear by the prodigious working of a hand crank, the six-barrel Ratling Gun has the potential to change the very face of warfare.

As is typical of Clan Skyre work, there are a large diversity of different design patterns, including a wheeled variant, one with a small shield, a tri-pod mounted version, and much more. In any case, the Ratling Gun is just as equally deadly no matter the design, but also just as likely to malfunction or overheat like any other Clan Skyre weaponry. As is common amongst Weapon Teams, the Ratling Gun requires two Skaven; one to hold and crank the ammo supply while another aims the gun forward.

In combat, the Ratling Gun is capable of mowing down an ungodly amount of firepower in just mere moments. A solid barrage from a Ratling Gun is more then capable of single-handedly scythe down a mod of charging Orc Boar Boyz or take down a monstrous Griffon in mid-flight. Few can stop a Ratling Gun once its gun-ho weapons-team is hungry for more carnage.
