== Description ==
The Ratling Gun is perhaps the most powerful weapon Clan Skryre has ever invented, a large, multi-barrelled death-dealing machine with the potential to change the very face of warfare in the Skaven's favour. Though a relatively new and often unreliable design, the gun has nonetheless proven itself so successful that Clan Skryre simply cannot make enough to satisfy Warlord Clans' greedy demands. Powered by Warp-steam and the prodigious working of a hand crank, the six-barrelled Ratling Gun starts to spin before unleashing its deadly payload of Warpstone bullets. Commonly, the gun requires two Skaven; one to hold and crank the Warp-steam while another aims the gun forward.

== Strategy ==
The Ratling Gun puts forth a devastating stream of fire that no unit in the game can ignore whether large or small, armored or unarmored. A core of just a few Ratling Guns can grind endgame crisis armies to dust if properly protected. Due to their suppressive fire ability, reducing the speed of enemy units hit by their bullets, Ratling Guns are perfect for supporting your frontline. And indeed your backline, giving other ranged units like Warplock Jezzails more time to shoot.
By using elevated terrain or a checkerboard formation with gaps in your front, let your Ratlings target anything and decimate them at leisure while they slowly wade through a hailstorm of bullets. By the time the fronts clash, your Clanrats or Stormvermin will have a much easier time standing their ground. If, of course, anyone makes it that far as they put out a frightening amount of AP damage. Be extra sure that they have clear line of sight on choice targets, as their awesome damage output means nothing if they can't shoot.
