A typical Skaven blowpipe
The blowpipe, also known as a blowgun, is a weapon able to shoot poisoned darts through a blast of the wielder's own breath against an unaware victim.[1a]
Assassins and guerillas around the Known World use these simple lacquered tubes to fire poisoned darts. Usually about a foot to three feet in length, one end is fitted with a flexible cup crafted from leather that fits over the mouth of the firer. While the damage inflicted by blowgun darts is negligible, the tips are often coated with virulent poisons.[1a]
Skaven Usage[]
When not using them as weapons, the Skaven Clan Eshin's Eshin Assassins have been known to use their blowguns as snorkels as they hide beneath the placid surface of a pond, lake, or stream.[1a]
