Oldhammer: Giant Scorpion

Description
Like all the Oldhammer entries, it's lorefriendly, just hasn't been around for a while.

This adds a giant scorpion unit to the game (single monster).
Please note that it cannot be hired, it has to be summoned from a scroll of Kadon, a magic item you can loot like any other item. Equipping the item lets the character that wears it summon the creature bound to the scroll (for more info on that, google scroll of Kadon, scrolls of binding, storm of magic, it's all from the tabletop game).
Lorewise, scorpions don't really have a faction alignment, but they're arachnids, and they were used by goblins in the old Dark Omen game, so I stuck to greenskins alignement for them.
So, if you can't hire them yourself, some Waaaghs may field them when they come to your aid (see the list bellow).

Scroll can be acquired as Random loot by:
- Vampire Counts
- Teb (if you've installed Cataph's mod)
- Savage Orcs
- Greenskins
- Empire
- Wood Elves
- Beastmen
- Skaven
- Dark Elves
- Vampire Coast
- Tomb Kings

Greenskins may get them appearing in their Waaagh armies from:
- Ash River
- Charnel Valley
- Southern Worlds Edge Mountains
- Western Badlands
- Southern Badlands
- Blight Water

I highly, highly recommand using We'z Speshul.
Oh, and JvJ's scrolls of Kadon, since they're complimentary.

Would be possible to make them recruitible after a successful Waaagh!? I would love to build some thematic armies with these wonderful units :D

No plans for those as of yet I'm afraid.
