The PLAGUEBURST CRAWLER Datasheet is your essential guide to deploying one of the Death Guard’s most resilient and disgustingly effective artillery pieces. This datasheet provides all the necessary information to bring this walking siege engine to bear on the battlefield, unleashing a torrent of plagueshells and corrosive firepower upon your enemies.
Decoding the PLAGUEBURST CRAWLER Datasheet
The PLAGUEBURST CRAWLER Datasheet is structured to give you a clear understanding of the unit’s capabilities. It breaks down everything from the Crawler’s basic statistics, such as Movement, Weapon Skill, Ballistic Skill, Strength, Toughness, Wounds, Attacks, Leadership, and Save, to its weapon profiles and special abilities. Understanding these stats is paramount to effectively deploying the Plagueburst Crawler and maximizing its impact on the game. For example, knowing the Ballistic Skill helps you determine the accuracy of its ranged attacks, while the Toughness and Wounds scores indicate how resilient it is to enemy fire.
Furthermore, the datasheet details the Crawler’s wargear options. This includes the various weapons it can be equipped with, most commonly the plagueburst mortar, along with other offensive and defensive options like heavy sluggers or a rothail volley gun. Each weapon has its own profile, outlining its range, strength, AP (Armor Penetration), and damage output. The datasheet also lists any special rules associated with the weapon, such as Blast or indirect fire. Knowing these profiles and special rules allows you to choose the optimal targets for each weapon and adapt your tactics accordingly.
The datasheet also lists the Plagueburst Crawler’s special abilities, which are a key factor in its battlefield effectiveness. These abilities often reflect the Crawler’s Nurgle-aligned nature. Here are a few examples of what you might find:
- Disgustingly Resilient: This ability allows the Crawler to shrug off damage, making it significantly harder to destroy.
- Nurgle’s Rot: The Crawler’s weaponry may inflict lingering damage on enemies, representing the spread of disease.
These special abilities add layers of tactical depth to the unit, requiring players to consider how they interact with the Crawler’s other stats and weaponry.
