Skaven Jezzails are getting a big rework after their old models spent many, many years in rotation for 4th edition AoS!
The hype for the upcoming 4th Edition of Age of Sigmar is real, and it’s not just because of the promise of exciting new rules; it also means new models to add to your collection! Let’s take a look at the newest addition for Skaven in 4th Edition and their special rule!
New Skaven Jezzails Blow Away the Competition in AoS
Here is the latest on the new Jezzails from Warhammer Community.
Skaven are known for using lethal warpstone in battle, which they have employed since the earliest days of Warhammer. To launch their toxic shots at their enemies, Jezzail teams have collaborated for decades in an unusual display of teamwork. One member of the team acts as a sniper, while the other serves as a supportive shoulder. This allows them to effectively deliver scorching hot lumps of poison to their targets.
Skaven hold long-range warfare in high regard as it allows them to minimize the risk of personal harm (because what rat wants to be fighting from the front?). The Jezzail gunners use a power pack that contains highly-pressurized warpstone gas. As the gas is pumped into the weapon’s long barrel, it solidifies into shards, making it deadly for far-off enemies.
The new models keep the feel of the old ones but with tons of updated details.
New Rules
Jezzails are pretty nasty in this edition – Wounding on 3+, they get 2 Attacks dealing 2 Damage each with 2 Rend, and theirWarpstone Snipersaction grants them +1 to Hit if they don’t move.
When you combine this with the Engineer’s rule to snipe off enemy characters, they are a serious force to be reckoned with! It will be a bad time for any enemy characters to fight against the Skaven.
