	Laid Low means that the Titan must move D6" in a random direction as determined by a Scatter dice, then it falls to the general direction which may cause it to collide with other units. It should be noted that a single Warhound would not be enough to trip over something as big as a Warlord, so you’ll want to squadron them up with similarly-armed Warhounds for +1 Strength.

	Some Imperial regiments, especially those from more primitive worlds, may opt for a Bow rather than the [[Lasgun\|flashlight]] as a Bow is quieter and less likely to give away your position to the enemy (that, and it's much simpler to use for Feral World natives who have even less understanding of technology than most Imperials do). Of course, the challenges of piercing power armor with a simple Bow are almost as (if not totally) impossible with normal materials. Thus, it is quite common to see adamantium or diamond-tipped arrows which allow some leverage to make the Bow more compatible in war. Of course, if they have enough adamantium to use in disposable weapons ''of course'' they wouldn't use it for armor instead or at least to tip something more powerful like bolt shells. That would be ''silly''.

	In [[Necromunda]], there are bows called '''Wyld Bows'''. Wyld Bows are large compound bows used by the [[Wyld Runner]]s. Basically, members of [[House Escher]] that are quasi-feral kids and quasi-alien Beastmaster's, who use these bows as a more...quiet form of assassination weaponry. These chicks just go full-on Rambo in Necromunda. In terms of tabletop, it's a bow with a -1 to hit at long range and no bonus at short range. While it really limits the Wyld Bow’s viability, the bow is very cheap - only 10 credits - which does a lot to increase its usefulness. Additionally, the special ammo that can be bought for it can give it a real boost, especially exploding ammo.

Handbow

	A hand bow is a smaller, one-handed version of the crossbow, effectively a pistol. It is a primitive weapon, though sometimes made with modern technology and materials and easily as powerful as a larger version.		A hand bow is a smaller, one-handed version of the crossbow, effectively a pistol. It is a primitive weapon, though sometimes made with modern technology and materials and easily as powerful as a larger version.

	While it can be fired with one hand it still requires a long reload time and also not when moving. As well as bows as crossbows, they are mainly used on primitive worlds, but can be found all over the galaxy in more advanced forms. The ease at which they can be broken down and concealed, as well as their silent operation, makes them a favored weapon of assassins. The Ratskin tribes of Necromunda are particularly renowned for making use of handbows and other low-tech weapons.

	The Londaxi Tribalest is used exclusively by [[Kroot Heavy Gunner]]s and is one of its primary weapons, with the other being the [[Dvorgite Skinner]]. Looking like something out of Quake, the Londaxi Tribalest is kind of like an advanced heavy arbalest (Hence the name Tri'''''balest''''') that launches a giant, explosive bolt. It seems to work similarly to the Accelerator Bow given there is no visible string.		The Londaxi Tribalest is used exclusively by [[Kroot Heavy Gunner]]s and is one of its primary weapons, with the other being the [[Dvorgite Skinner]]. Looking like something out of Quake, the Londaxi Tribalest is kind of like an advanced heavy arbalest (Hence the name Tri'''''balest''''') that launches a giant, explosive bolt. It seems to work similarly to the Accelerator Bow given there is no visible string.

	Due to its heavy weight and its limitation as a tensile weapon, the Londaxi Tribalest has a slightly lower attack rate and isn't as accurate, but has a higher damage output to compensate.		Like the [[Dvorgite Skinner]], the Londaxi Tribalest isn't actually a ''Kroot'' weapon. It is in fact a weapon manufactured by the aforementioned [[Xenos\|Londaxi race]] which are a sentient and technologically gifted Xenos race that occasionally clash with the Imperium. It is unknown if the Londaxi is an actual Tau client race or just so happens to be ''another'' mercenary race that the Kroot occasionally trades with.

			Due to its heavy weight and its limitation as a tensile weapon, the Londaxi Tribalest has a slightly lower attack rate and isn't as accurate, but has a higher damage output to compensate. Crunchwise, this is the closest the Kroot could get to a Heavy Bolter equivalent. With 5 dice, 4+ to hit, 4/4 damage, AP1 and Rending. You don’t get additional damage on the crit, it just gives you another crit and makes it harder for your opponent to get saves.

The Forces of Chaos for [[Derp\|''some reason'']] thought it is a pretty good idea to reintroduce bows in the modern battlefield of all things.

	Looking at Chaos' track record of using medieval tools such as [[Contagion\|trebuchets]] and [[Nurgle Plague Tower\|motherfucking siege towers,]] the introduction of a bow of all thing's sure seals the deal on the competency of the Chaos Gods and seeing how they keep on supporting [[Abbadon~~\|Failbaddon~~]], [[FAIL\|it ain't looking too good.]]		Looking at Chaos' track record of using medieval tools such as [[Contagion\|trebuchets]] and [[Nurgle Plague Tower\|motherfucking siege towers,]] the introduction of a bow of all thing's sure seals the deal on the competency of the Chaos Gods and seeing how they keep on supporting [[Abbadon]], [[FAIL\|it ain't looking too good.]]

	Anyways, the Fatecaster Greatbows are Chaos weapons, used by the [[Tzaangor Enlightened]] and are strung with ectoplasmic cords that send ensorcelled arrows on a magical path to hit their victims. Basically, this bow has homing arrows that could follow their intended targets. Would this neat trick make a bow still viable in the 42nd millennium? No. Would it be more sensible to use said homing magic on Bolters? Hell to the yes. On the other hand, when has [[Tzeentch]] cared about making sense?
