I killed a 30 man stormvermin unit using the dreaded 13th. Such a good spell.

4d6 = 30? Thats pretty amazing rolling...

I don't think he meant it as having happened in a single phase.

I like the look of the catapult but have not seen it in action yet. It will wound on 5+ ffor most things but remember, 6's wound anything now. No longer do you hav to guess range. It has a 2 in 6 chance of landing exactly where you want it and a decent chance of scattering onto something else.

Mathematically, I think the Catapult and the Cannon are on more or less equal grounds. If the Cannon performs better, I could only guess that it's because people are favoring some units over others (higher T, basically).

The cannon hits a fair number of guys at a random S(average 6). The catapult hits a TON of guys at a low S. Knights. Goblins. Other Skaven. And those stupid, stupid, stupid 3+ Tzeentch Chosen (more hits=more forced Ward saves...?).
