Warplock jezzails are long-barrelled rifles that require a two-skaven team to load and fire. Aided by its tremendous length, the warplock jezzail is capable of hitting targets at a distance much greater than conventional bows and arrows. The weapon fires a high-velocity bullet made of refined warpstone, which strikes with force capable of punching through a shield, breastplate, and body of an armoured knight. Should the glowing green projectile pass through or embed itself in flesh, the damage can be considerable due to the necrotic nature of the warpstone. Cowardly Snipers. Although moving too quickly to be seen, the bullets fired by a warplock jezzail leave behind a faint green streak, making it incredibly easy to trace the shots back to their source. For this reason, what started out as a mere aiming platform for the long rifle has turned into a protective device designed to shield the vulnerable skaven team from incoming arrows, bolts, and bullets.
