Statistics
As you might expect for a light artillery unit, the Rifle Team is slow and easy to kill, but has
impressive range on its weapon and will generally hit what it is targeting.

Circle Orboros
Weapons and Attacks
Legion of Everblight
Skorne Rifle - Low POW and a ROF of 1. However, this weapon is deadly against anything
Trollbloods on a medium base or larger.
Minions Armor Piercing - Gives pause to all light 'jacks and most heavy targets.
Blindwater Congregation Sword - Very low P+S. You really shouldn't be using this.
Thornfall Alliance

Special Abilities
Light Artillery - All pros and cons. Can't charge, can't aim.
Range Finder - Boosts the Team's RAT to a reasonable level where most juicy
targets with DEF 13 and lower will be easily hit.

Theme Forces Rifle Team in a nutshell
Glossary of Abbreviations This is a very atypical piece of light artillery. Unlike most artillery pieces, the Heavy Rifle
Team is not there to launch a bunch of AOEs into enemy units; take Stormfall Archers if
you desire AOE. The Rifle Team exists to crack open heavily armoured targets such as
Khador 'jacks, Skorne 'beasts, etc. The Retribution has trouble with heavily armored targets;
the rifle team provides one fairly cheap solution to this problem. Two of these combined

 useful against bone jacks and many circle warbeasts.
The feat increases the Rifle Team's chance of hitting and also allows them to
shoot models with stealth.

The following models provide extra threat range in that they allow a Rifle Team to
move and keep shooting:
Madelyn Corbeau
House Shyeel Magister - Whipsnap
Garryth - Mirage
Rahn - Telekinesis
Vyros2 - Feat
Any myrmidon - Push

Drawbacks & Downsides

The Light Artillery rules are kinda really bad, in a rules system that favours
manoeuvrability and aggression.

Note: To field a mercenary warcaster with Retribution (ha ha ha ha), you need to
be playing a game which allows 2 (or more) warcasters.
