Editing Barbgaunt (section)

==Crunch==
Crunchwise, Barbgaunts have similar stats to all Gaunts which is not surprising (Although they are ''drastically'' slower, which is also not surprising given their tripodal gait). Their biggest gimmick of course, is their unique weapon they carry. Their light bio-canons is 24" ranged Blast and Heavy weapon with a D6 Attack, BS4+, S5, AP0, D1 light mortar. Whilst not that powerful when compared to other forms of light artillery, the weapon or...shall we say the Gaunt itself, is comparatively cheaper. So you field more of them.

Another unique factor is that, to balance its relatively mediocre stats, these living mortars have a unique ability called '''Disruption Bombardment'''. What this thing does is that in your shooting phase, any targeted enemy infantry that was hit by one or more of these attacks counts as disrupted for the next turn. When a unit is disrupted, they subtract 2 from its Move characteristic and 2 from its Advance and Charge rolls made for it.

So yeah, imagine fielding a bunch of miniature ''[[Tremor Cannon]]s''. A very interesting and useful but annoying weapon against charge armies.
