Vulture Impaler

Faction: Dwarven

The Impaler is a massive crossbow that the Vulture Clan designed to stop the charge of the Blackblood´s Myrmadons. Crewed by two Dwarves, this machine can fire one gigantic bolt a tremendous distance and with surprising accuracy. This accuracy is due in part to the intircate design of the weapons totating which makes it surprisingly easy for only one Dwarf to aim the weapon. The Impaler requires two Dwarves to move it and while powerful, it is slow load. The Vulture Clan prefers to position these weapons in support positions that requie as little movement as possible.
