Warp-lightning Cannon
A Warp-lightning Cannon is a war machine of the Skaven.
The weapon makes use of a large chunk of raw Warpstone and channels the magical energy through a series of mirrors and lenses to intensify the beam. It then leaves the cannon as a green lightning bolt, powerful enough in theory to shatter a mountain. Normally moved, aimed and fired by two Skavenslaves, its power output is known to be very unstable and dangerous to handle, as well as difficult to aim properly.[1]
