Skull Cannon

A brass war-engine drawn by a juggernaut that fires screaming skulls of the slain, each blast strengthening the daemons that fight in its shadow.

The Skull Cannon is a daemon-engine of the Blood God, a great brazen chariot-cannon dragged across the battlefield by a snorting Juggernaut and ridden by a cackling Bloodletter gunner in the service of the Blades of Khorne. It fires the skulls of the slain — an endless supply on any battlefield Khorne favours — blasting them out in shrieking, blazing arcs that smash through armour and formation alike and burst apart in showers of burning bone. Each thunderous shot is more than a physical blow, for the roar of the Skull Cannon and the death it deals feed the daemonic energies of Khorne's host, invigorating the Bloodletters that surge in its wake and driving them to fresh heights of frenzy. The engine's brass wheels grind bones to powder as it rolls forward, and its Juggernaut gores any foe rash enough to charge it. Part siege-weapon, part rolling altar to slaughter, the Skull Cannon exists to turn the mounting tally of the dead into fuel for still greater carnage.
