Description
The Screaming Skull Catapults
of a Tomb King's eternal army are akin to the stone throwers of other races, but instead of flinging rocks at the foe, they throw volleys of flaming skulls. The Liche Priests cast terrible curses upon every one of these skulls, enchanting them so that they scream hideously as they are hurled through the air, rising to a deafening crescendo just before they strike their target. These are the very death screams of the skulls' former owners, the wailing shrieks of those slaughtered on the field of battle and the agonised cries of prisoners captured at the moment of their execution. Many battle-hardened warriors are driven to the edge of insanity by the blood-curdling sound. This horrific ammunition bursts into hellish, ethereal flames when it is launched, and as the skulls arc through the air, they blaze an eerie trail of green-fire behind them. Most of these skulls explode on impact, sending fragments of splintered bone in all directions and engulfing those nearby in a wash of balefire. Others smash into their target with horrifying force, infernal flames spilling out of empty eye sockets as the skulls chew through armour and warm flesh alike.

Note: Unfortunately the catapults aren't made out of bones, because it can't be done atm.

The other units (ushabti, skeleton warriors ) you see in the screenshots are from my other tomb king mod:

Properties:
- Screaming skulls: fires screaming skulls at their enemies causing troops to question their leaders in fear

Compatibility:
This mod is compatible with most mods including Radious mod.

Custom unit cards and loading screen quotes

WIP
I'm going to continue working on this mod and create more tomb king units. If I have enough units I might even release a complete faction.

Suggestions for rebalancing and looks are always welcome. Request are welcome too.
