Mortek Crawler

A colossal siege-catapult of bound bone that flings shrieking cargoes of cursed skulls to burst over the foe in storms of splintering nadirite.

The Mortek Crawler is the heavy artillery of the Ossiarch Bonereapers, a vast ossified engine that hauls itself to the firing line on a nest of skittering bone-limbs. Its throwing-arm hurls one of two dreadful payloads: a dense boulder of compacted skulls that shatters ranks by sheer mass, or a shrieking cargo of dead-souls that bursts overhead and rains splintering nadirite shards across a wide swathe of ground. Directed by a Mortisan overseer who reads the battlefield like a ledger, the Crawler ranges its shots with cold, incremental precision, walking its fire across enemy formations until nothing remains upright. It never tires, never flinches from counter-battery fire, and never runs short of ammunition, for the bones of the slain are simply gathered up and loaded anew. To besieged defenders the Crawler is a patient inevitability, grinding walls and courage alike to powder.
