Revenant Cannon Crew

Template:Cryxbox This model is playable only in an Unlimited format.

With balefire dancing just below the surface of the transfigured metal, these cannons are hot to the touch, burning revenant flesh as they load and fire the weapons. The cannons discharge terrifying spectral shot that screams through the air like a banshee to explode into a howling eruption upon contact. Sailors greatly fear these weapons, which pass unhindered through ships hulls to wreck havoc within.

Thoughts on Revenant Cannon Crew

Revenant Cannon Crew in a nutshell

Ship cannon manned by zombie pirates that turns enemies into more zombie pirates. Ignoring the recursion mechanic it’s compares unfavourably to the living equivalent in terms of cost, but it’s more accurate vs living targets.

Combos & Synergies

• Death Toll needs a Revenant Crew of the Atrementous to add a grunt to. They're probably present anyway in any army that takes the Revenant Cannon Crew.
• Captain Rengrave gives it a +1 to attack rolls while it's in his command range.
• The Ghost Fleet can take them for free.

Drawbacks & Downsides

• As guns go it's a pretty pathetic one, even by Cryx standards.
• Generally anything it could shoot will be in charge range of the Revenant Crew

Tricks & Tips

• You've got three bodies for four points. Always useful.
