Just noticed it says

instead of firing another missile weapon....UP TO two Skink crew may EACH fire a single giant blowpipe

MultiShots 2D6.

Does that mean you can shoot 1D6 or 2D6? I mean, there's not much reason to do so.

Each blowpipe fires 2D6 for a total of 4D6.

OH.

If you cast a Strength buff on the unit, does it affect the skinks? As that would affect the javelin but not the blowpops.

The skinks have an independent S value in the units profile that they use in combat and when using their javelins, so I can't see why they wouldn't be buffed.

As above. They have their own S value, are indisputably part of the unit, and so meet all criteria to benefit from a S buff.

And yes, 4D6 is in theory quite nasty, but in practice I suck at rolling high at this point
