Editing Eagle Claw Bolt Thrower

{{whfb-stub}}{{NeedsImages}}

Eagle Claw bolt throwers are about the only siege weapons the High Elves possess. Originally intended for sea warfare, the 6-foot long bolts fired from this bird shaped bastard are made from meteoric iron, honed by the finest craftsmen and blessed by the greatest of mages. The bolt throwers are enchanted to to magically accelerate their projectiles to incredible speeds, sending them hurtling towards their targets before ploughing into the enemy. It’s like if a magical ballista had a baby with a bolter.

The Lothern Sea Guard are supposedly baller in the use of them, but they’re used by all major houses. Elves also line the sides of warships with them, ensuring enemies die under a hail of magical meteorite bolts, if not from laughter at the sight of Barbie’s dream gondola, covered in pretty, neatly painted, bird shaped artillery pieces.

The Bolt Thrower has two alternate fire modes (or at least two types of ammunition): large single 6-foot bolts capable of shooting a Giant’s cock clean off, or canisters of six lesser bolts to mow down massed light infantry before they reach the High Elf lines.

A more compact version of the Eagle Claw is the Eagle Eye Bolt Thrower, which are utilized by Lothern Skycutters.
