Unit Suggestions for the Mung
Hey Folks

Going to cut straight to the chase, this post took me awhile to finish because I got rather busy during the holidays. By the time I finished it, the thing took up 20 pages on a Google Document file. So, I had to break this up into different posts.

Post 1 - Lords, Heroes, Melee Infantry, & Missile Infantry.
Post 2 - Cavalry & Chariots, Missile Cavalry & Chariots, Monsters & Beasts
Post 3 - Missile Monsters & Beasts and Artillery & War Machines.

WARNING: This will be a long post and was mainly inspired by my research on the Warhammer Hungs, our World's Mongol Empire, Mongol Tactics, Military units, Mongol Mythological Creatures, Mongol Shamanism, and more. While I did try to avoid making this a unit suggestion of Mongols, it was heavily inspired by them while keeping in theme with Northmen of Warhammer, Warhammer in general, and making it feel Norscan-familiar. No it will not be "Lore accurate", but I did try to keep it as "Lore possible" as much as possible. So, I hope you all enjoy it.

PS to the Mod Makers: I kept your units in mind when making this, so some of this could just be a simple rename of the units while still keeping in theme to your original design. So please don't think I was trying to trash on your work, that was exceptionally far from my goal. Also I know this would be a MASSIVE amount of work also, some of which probably couldn't be done till the 3rd game and even then who knows if you all could do it anyways. So, if you all can/want to do all, some, none, or cannot do anything I have suggested in here. No problem, still love the mod. :)

=====

Lords

Ilkhan

Unit Basics: The Ilkhan are basically lesser Khans that serve the Mung-Khan (Dengizich) and could be seen as basically the Marauder Chieftan of the Mung roster. Armed with Sabers & Shields, they should be fairly well armored, and moderately okay duelist. They should be more of a Army Leader than a Lord or Hero Duelist.

-Abilities & Attributes for Ilkhan-

- Armored & Shielded
- Melee Expert

Mount Options: Mung Horse, Chaos Steed, or Siege Mammoth.

Sorcerer-Khan

Unit Basics: The Sorcerer-Khan is basically a Lord level Sorcerer that is able to lead his or her own Hordes. To differ it however from it's lesser Sorcerer counterpart however...and if possible...I think it would be cool if this Character could have access to either the Lore of Tzeentch, Nurgle, or Slaanesh as part of the spell book on top of having access to the Lores of Fire, Shadow, Death, Metal, & Beasts. Making this Character far more interesting compared to the lesser Sorcerer and more unique as well by showing it's truly a step above it's lesser counterpart.

-Abilities & Attributes for Sorcerer-Khan-

- Spell caster

Mount Options: Mung Horse, Chaos Steed, Siege Mammoth, or Great Steppe Eagle.

=====

Heros

Sorcerers

Unit Basics: The Sorcerers would be the basic spell caster Hero unit for the Mung. They should have access to the Lores of Fire, Shadow, Death, Metal, & Beasts. They're all about casting down the hurt, buffing allies, or debuffing enemies. Pretty much the same thing as a Shaman-Sorcerer, just all the Lores of Magic (generally speaking) in one package. When choosing a Lore of Magic to use, it should lock all the other ones from being picked as well.

-Abilities & Attributes for Sorcerer-

- Spell caster

Mount Options: Dismounted, Mung Horse, Chaos Steed, or Great Steppe Eagle.

Great War Shaman

Unit Basics: The War Shaman is a different spin on the Norscan Shaman-Sorcerer. Instead of casting spells from the various Lores of Magic. They instead fight while using a Magical Bow, conjuring up restless Mung Spirits through a lore called "Ancestor." While they would act sort of like a Necromancer, they raise Ancestor Ghosts or Spirits instead of Zombies or Skeletons. These Ancestor Spirits can be things like...Etheral Jagumyan Archers, Etheral Mungtaurs, and other Etheral variants of the Mung roster. Outside of that they focus primarily on buffing nearby Monsters of the Mung.

-Abilities & Attributes for War Shaman-

- Magical Attacks
- Spell caster

Mount Options: Dismounted, Mung Horse, Chaos Steed, or War Shaman Wagon

Cherbinyan

Unit Basics: The Cherbinyan is basically the Commander of the Elite Mung units the Toraqiyan, Qorchiyan, Kebteyan, & Bahaduryan. Have one of these Heroes alongside your Elite units and they will make them perform even better ideally. They would ideally be a Hybrid unit using a Bow, Shield, & Saber. They should be able to fight either enemy Lords, Heroes, or units, but come with a hefty cost to field them - which ideally would pay for itself in the long run.

-Abilities & Attributes for the Cherbinyan-

- Armored & Shielded
- Anti-Infantry
- Duelist
- Melee Expert

Mount Options: Mung Horse, Chaos Steed, or Siege Mammoth

Boyan

Unit Basics: The Boyan is basically the Mung's version of a Empire Captain or a Khan's general, they train & fight alongside their troops more than going out to look for any enemy Heroes or Lords to fight. Leave them in the thick of the enemy and watch them go basically. They should be armed with a Saber & Shield and be moderately Armored as well. But, they're primarily focused on buffing Arbun, Jagumyan, & Artillery units.

-Abilities & Attributes for the Boyan-

- Armored & Shielded
- Inspiring
- Melee Expert

Mount Options: Dismounted, Mung Horse, Chaos Steed, or Siege Mammoth

Arbud-Dargin

Unit Basics: The Arbud-Dargin would be Mung's early game assassin Hero. More of a Lord & Hero duelist than a army fighter like the Boyan, Cherbinyan, & War Shaman. They should be a hybrid unit using both a Bow for long range and Club for close range.

-Abilities & Attributes for the Arbud-Dargin-

- Good Range
- Duelist
- Stalk

Mount Options: Dismounted, Mung Horse, Chaos Steed, or Siege Mammoth

=====

Melee Infantry


Unhung Slaves

Unit Basics: The Unhung Slaves would be a early game chaff unit for the Mung. When the player needs bodies to throw at the enemy to either soak up enemy missile fire, artillery fire, move siege equipment, or generally any tasks that involves using throwaway enemies that should cost Slaves instead of Gold. Then the Unhung Slaves should be

-Abilities & Attributes for Unhung Slaves-

- Hide
- Expendable
- Undisciplined

Mungalyn

Unit Basics: The Mungalyn would be the Mungs equivalent of Ungor Herds meets Peasants. Am early game unit that should not be very reliable to win the battle, but be focused on keeping enemy units busy while the proper warriors move into place to strike, or take the enemy walls of a settlement so they can open the gates for the main army. Mungalyn should come in three variants.

-Abilities & Attributes for Mungalyn (Hunting Spears)-

- Hide
- Anti-Large
- Charge Defense
- Undisciplined

-Abilities & Attributes for Mungalyn (Clubs & Shields)-

- Shielded

- Undisciplined

-Abilities & Attributes for Mungalyn (Spears & Shields)-

- Hide
- Shielded
- Anti-Large
- Charge Defense

=====

Missile Infantry

Mungalyn Bowmen

Unit Basics: The Mungalyn Bowmen would be an early game Missile Unit for the Mung. While they should be more reliable to win a battle compared to their Melee counterparts, they're really just there to be a cheap range alternative to them. Much like Ungor Raiders, they're primarily putting a lot of arrows into the sky & in the enemy ranks than anything else. (This could just be a rename suggestion for the Archers in the Mod.)

-Abilities & Attributes for Mungalyn Bowmen-

- Hide
- Good Range
- Undisciplined

Arbud Whitefur Hunters

Unit Basics: The Arbud Whitefur Hunters would be the Mung's equivalent to the Empire's Huntsmen meets High Elf Shadow Warriors. An early game, anti-large range unit that is better at bringing down large targets like Monsters while trying to avoid directly fighting other units head on. (This could just be a rename suggestion for the Hunters in the Mod.)

-Abilities & Attributes for Arbud Whitefur Hunters-

- Hide
- Vanguard Deployment
- Good Range
- Anti-Large
- Stalk

Jagumyan Archers

Unit Basics: The Jagumyan would be a early-mid game Mung Archer unit that is better than the Mungalyn Bowmen. They should have very good accuracy & range, be lightly armored, and actually be in proper disciplined ranks. Though they should be slower shooting than the Mungalyn Bowmen and that is mainly because they're trying to be more accurate. (This could just be a rename suggestion for the Horse Archers in the Mod.)

-Abilities & Attributes for Jagumyan Archers-

- Hide
- Light Armor
- Very Good Range
- Very Good Accuracy

Arbud Blackfur Hunters

Unit Basics: The Arbud Blackfur Hunters would be the mid-late game special Archer unit for the Mung. An upgrade on the Arbud Whitefur Hunters, these one would have a better chance in melee against incoming attackers and would have more unique ammunition to bring to the field giving the Mung player more variety in how to use them compared to the lesser version.

Toraqiyan

Unit Basics: The Toraqiyan would be a late game unit and one of the few Armored Infantry units they field. It would be an Elite Hybrid Infantry unit with one version being better against Cavalry and the other better against Infantry. Unlike other Infantry units, these ones can actually hold the line and win the battle - if the Mung player can afford to field them in plentiful amounts. After all; these are meant to be one the Mung's Elite units. These should compete against their mounted counterparts, the Qorchiyan at being the best at range & accuracy.

- Hide
- Armored

Cavalry & Chariots


Arbud Scouts

Unit Basics: The Arbud Scouts would be the Mung's early-some what early mid game, Light Cavalry unit that comes in two different variants. One better at taking on Large targets and charging as Shock Cavalry, while the other is better at Brawling with Infantry for longer periods of time. But, neither is really armored, so best to not throw them at any meaningfully armored targets unless the target is fleeing. Overall these should be among the fastest Cavalry units the Mung can field and should basically be the equivalent of the Mung's Marauder units, though with Horses instead of being on foot which means they should also have Very good vigor.

-Abilities & Attributes for Arbud Scouts (Clubs & Shields)-

Jagumyan Raiders

Unit Basics: The Jagumyan Raiders would be an upgrade on the Arbun Scouts, featuring slightly heavier armor & shields, while losing some of that speed & vigor for the increased protection. Much like the Arbun Scouts however, Jagumyan Raiders either specialize in anti-large fighting/Shock Cavalry tactics, or in Brawling with enemy infantry.

-Abilities & Attributes for Jagumyan Raiders (Lances & Shields)-

- Hide
- Lightly Armored
- Shielded
- Anti-Large

-Abilities & Attributes for Jagumyan Raiders (Battle Axes & Shields)-

- Hide
- Lightly Armored

Kebteyan

Unit Basics: The Kebteyan would be a late game, Elite, Heavy Brawling Cavalry unit for the Mung. The Kebteyan exchange speed for staying power, able to duke it out with most Infantry units for a decent amount of time as both them & their Horses should be armored. Meaning that any unit without AP or a high enough damage will struggle to get rid of this unit. Kebteyan should come in two variants, one that is better at mulching light targets, and one that is better against armored targets.

-Abilities & Attributes for Kebteyan (Sabers & Shields)-

- Hide
- Anti-Infantry
- Armored & Shielded
- Melee Expert

-Abilities & Attributes for Kebteyan (Battle Axes & Shields)-

- Hide
- Anti-Infantry

Bahaduryan

Unit Basics: Where the Kebteyan are the Elite Brawling Cavalry for the Mung, the Bahaduryan are the Elite Shock Cavalry for them. Able to brush aside most Melee units that lack any form of charge defense with ease, bringing the full force of Armored Horse straight into the face of the enemy. While one variant is good at tackling enemy Cavalry, the other is better at fighting enemy monsters. (This could just be a rename suggestion for the Heavy Lancers in the Mod.)

-Abilities & Attributes for Bahaduryan (Lances & Shields)-

- Anti-Large

Missile Cavalry & Chariots


Arbud Nomads

Unit Basics: The Arbud Horse Archers are the early-mid game Missile Cavalry for the Mung. Much like their counterparts, the Arbud Scouts. These riders are very lightly armored and can keep moving for greater periods of time without tiring. While they do have Lances as a backup weapon, their Anti-Large capability is really only to be used when they're out of ammunition for their Bows, and limited to Melee.

-Abilities & Attributes for Arbud Horse Archers-

- Hide
- Vanguard Deployment
- Very Good Vigor
- Very Fast
- Good Range
- Fire Whilst Moving
- Anti-Large (Melee)

Jagumyan Horse Archers

Unit Basics: Much like normal Jagumyan, these are the mounted Archer variant that performs largely better than the Arbud variant. The Jagumyan Horse Archers should come in two variants, one with a Shield that allows them to tank enemy non-AP missile fire better, and the other that gives them a slightly better edge against soft Infantry targets in melee. But, overall both are better at range engagements over melee.

-Abilities & Attributes for Jagumyan Horse Archers (Sabers & Bows)-

Arbud Plunderers

Unit Basics: The Arbud Plunderers, much like their dismounted counterparts. Are a better, more seasoned version of the Arbud Horse Archers, bringing both Special Ammunition & Weapons to deal with the Mung's enemies.

-Abilities & Attributes for Arbud Plunderers (Great Axes & Poison Arrows)-

- Lightly Armored
- Good Range
- Poison Attacks (Range)

- Armor-Piercing (Range)

- Anti-Light (Melee & Range)

Qorchiyan

Unit Basics: The Qorchiyan are the Elite, Armored Missile Cavalry of the Mung, given the best Bows, Horses, & Armor that they can wear without hindering their performance while also being given exceptionally strong arrows. They're the best of the best of the Mung when it comes to shooting their targets, competing with the likes of their dismounted counterparts the Toraqiyan. But, this unit, like any of the Elite Mung units, should be expensive to field - especially in large amounts.

-Abilities & Attributes for Qorchiyan (Barbed Arrows)-

=====

Monsters & Beasts

Steppe Hounds

Unit Basics: The Steppe Hounds would be an early game glass cannon unit for the Mung. Unlike other War Dogs, these ones should be more fragile, but a lot stronger in the damage dealing department. They should be used primarily to flank enemies engaged with other units, hunt Missile or Artillery units, or chase fleeing units. Otherwise these War Dogs should be melted to moment anything turns their focus upon them.

-Abilities & Attributes for Steppe Hounds-

- Very Fast
- Causes Fear
- Predatory Senses

Steppe Eagles

Unit Basics: The Steppe Eagles would be an early game Flying unit for the Mung. While not the most reliable in dealing damage, these birds should keep Missile & Artillery units busy while the real killers make their way in to strike. Their Swiftness however, should make them more likely to avoid incoming missile attacks, though any proper Melee fighters will melt these Birds very quickly. (Mostly a name replacement suggestion for the Hawks in the Mung's army roster.)

-Abilities & Attributes for Steppe Eagles-

- Very Fast
- Swift

Almas

Unit Basics: The Almas would be the Mung's version of early to mid game Trolls. However, unlike regular Trolls, the Almas should be seen more as dark furred Yetis. They would be weak to Fire & have no natural regeneration. But, they would be faster, stronger, have predatory senses, and be a lot more savage on soft infantry targets. Because of their Thick Hides as well, they would have some degree of Missile resistance. (Concept pretty much straight ripped from the real Almas cryptid.)

-Abilities & Attributes for Almas -

- Anti-Infantry
- Causes Fear
- Thick Hide
- Predatory Senses

Mungtaur Raiders

Unit Basics: The Mungtaur Raiders should be a early to early mid game Beastial Cavalry unit that brings a combination of Beastmen & Mung together (playing off of the Armored Centigor of the Mod itself a bit in concept.) Blessed by the ruinous powers, these Bestial Raiders should never tire, but lack any form of armor, making them glass cannon cavalry that is very good at trouncing either soft Infantry targets or large single entity Monsters. But, fall apart rather easily when competing against Missile units, Artillery, Heavy Armor, and the likes that can focus on them.

-Abilities & Attributes for Mungtaur Raiders (Dual-Wield Clubs)-

- Anti-Infantry
- Decent Armor-Penetration

-Abilities & Attributes for Mungtaur Raiders (Great Weapons)-

Armored Mungtaur Raiders

Unit Basics: The Armored Mungtaur Raiders are an upgraded version of the Mungtaur and come mid to late game. They're basically the same as the other Mungtaur, just upgraded for better protection and weapons.(This could just be a rename suggestion for the Armored Centigors in the Mod.)

-Abilities & Attributes for Armored Mungtaur Raiders (Dual-Wield Axes)-

Great Steppe Eagles

Unit Basics: The Great Steppe Eagle would be the largest, meanest flying monster the Mung can bring to the battlefield. While should not be particularly durable, they should cause a lot of trouble if left alone.

-Abilities & Attributes for Great Steppe Eagles-

- Causes Fear
- Armor-Piercing
- Very Fast

Plaguewind Horse

Unit Basics: Blessed by Nurgle, the Plaguewind Horse should be a flying, debuffing unit that weakens the enemy's units the longer the Horse is around them either in the air or on the ground. It's foul smell should weaken the enemy's Leadership, it's poison attacks should weaken their attacks & defenses, and should slow them down. (Concept based upon the Mongolian Wind Horse, but given a Nurgle corrupted spin.)

-Abilities & Attributes for Plaguewind Horse-

- Poison Attacks
- Foul Smell
- Fast

Feral Siege Mammoth

Unit Basics: Putting a slight spin on the Feral Mammoth. The Feral Siege Mammoth should be a mid to late game Armored Monster unit. It should have the same abilities & attributes as it's Norscan counterpart. However, it should be Armored & Slower. Thanks to it's Armor, most non-AP Missile/Artillery shots should bounce harmlessly off this War Beast. But, plenty of AP fire could cause the creature to Rampage well away from it's intended target before it even has a chance to reach them.

-Abilities & Attributes for Feral Siege Mammoth-

Missile Monsters & Beasts


Crimson Steppe Worms

Unit Basics: The Crimson Steppe Worms are a hybrid Missile/Melee Monster unit for the later early game stages. As they charge their targets, they should spit on them, causing the target to be slowed, have it's attack & defenses reduced, and gradually take increasing amounts of damage the longer they stay in a fight with the Crimson Steppe Worms. However, these Worms should have little to no armor, so any real amount of focus fire should slap these creatures down before they even have a chance, and any armored units should be resistant to their venomous spit. (Concept based on the Mongolian Death Worm.)

-Abilities & Attributes for the Crimson Steppe Worms-

- Fast
- Venomous Attacks
- Dodge

Mungalith Hunters

Unit Basics: This unit was inspired by Thom's Goliaths mod (another mod I really dig.) The Mungalith are basically "honorary" Goliaths that have been accepted into the Mung Tribe and they (the Mungalith) try to fit in by using similar weapons & fighting styles as the rest of the tribe - with much more devastating effect by comparison.These would of course be more of a mid-late game Monstrous Infantry unit and should come in three variants - all three of which are pretty much like arming an Ogre with a Bow the size of a ballista and shooting arrows like one as well. Though they should have rather poor accuracy...But, if they hit...something is going to be hurting for sure...

Mungtaur Hunters

Unit Basics: The Mungtaur Hunters should basically be a hybrid Bestial Cavalry that uses a mixture of Sabers & Javelins. Best used against single entity Monsters, but can still do fairly well against soft targets. This should be a mid to late game unit like the other Mungtaurs

-Abilities & Attributes for the Mungtaur Hunters-

- Vanguard Deployment
- Great Vigor
- Anti-Large (Range)

Siege Mammoth

Unit Basics: Basically the same thing as a regular War Mammoth, except it's armored with one of two units riding on it's back. One are Jagumyan using their Bows and the other Mungalith using large throwing Javelins. Basically a Mumakil with either Archers shooting bows or Goliaths throwing large javelins. These should of course be rather late game units as...Well, not too much is going to stand toe to toe with these fellas very easily.

Artillery & War Machines

Supply Wagon

Unit Basics: Pulled by a couple of Mung steeds, the Supply Wagon should be a single entity unit that provides Ammunition Replenishment for Artillery & Missile units, Gradual healing over time for all units within it's effect range, and whatever else the Mod Team thinks would be fitting for this unit if they added it. It should have four Mungalyn Archers riding on it, shooting their bows at generally anything within range. But, outside of that, this thing should be destroyed very easily by any Artillery or Monster units that feel like giving it problems. This should of course be a relatively early game unit as well that is fairly cheap since it cannot do a whole lot battle winning.

-Abilities & Attributes for the Supply Wagon-

- Hide
- Good Range
- Fire Whilst Moving

Monolith Wagon

Unit Basics: Pulled by a couple of Mung steeds, the Monolith Wagon can be a magical War Machine that can either harm the enemy or aid your units depending on the spells you use from it. Because the Hung do not venerate one Chaos God over the others (that I can tell), these spells should be relatively small at first, but as the Player goes through the Tech tree, maybe more powerful versions of the spells can be unlocked? Just an idea. Some of these spells can be like..."Eyes of the Hound" that increases Melee damage for Melee units, "Touch of the Crow" that causes your units to regenerate health, and such. This should be a mid, maybe late mid-game unit

-Abilities & Attributes for the Monolith Wagon-

- Hide
- Inspirational

War Shaman Wagon

Unit Basics: Pulled by a couple of Mung steeds, the War Shaman Wagon should have two Shaman riding up front, shooting their magical bows at any target of interest while buffing nearby allies. However, two Shaman riding in the back are able to call upon the Ancestor Spirits of fallen Mung warriors and can call upon their Restless spirits to return for another hunt or fight with a mortal enemy. This can be things like...Etheral Mungalyn, Etheral Kebteyan, Etheral Mungalith, and etc etc...while creating a sense of unease in nearby enemy units. Whatever the Mod Makers would ultimately like to do.

Unhung Trebuchet

Unit Basics: Not a whole lot to really explain. It's basically a captured "Unhung Trebuchet" operated by Mung warriors, and it fires large rocks at the enemy units or walls. Giving the Mung at least some sort of direct impact Siege Equipment. This should be a late early to mid game unit that the Mung can use and should come in two versions - one that is better for hitting armored units & Walls or Towers and the other for clusters of soft targets or things weak to fire.

-Abilities & Attributes for the Unhung Trebuchet-

- Siege Engine
- Good Range
- Armor-Piercing

-Abilities & Attributes for the Unhung Trebuchet (Fire Pots)-

Siege Mammoth (Trebuchet)

Unit Basics: Not a whole lot to really explain. It's basically a captured "Unhung Trebuchet" operated by Mung warriors, and it fires large rocks at the enemy units or walls. Except this one is mounted on the back of "Siege" Mammoth and has increased range & damage because of the sheer height that the rocks are being flung from.

Lore of the Units

- Still working on a good chunk of them.

=====

Overall that is all I have for now. I hope you all like the ideas, though I will admit I may have went a little nuts with them. But, in the end; they're just suggestions and it's up to the Mod Makers to make that final call on anything. Sorry once again it took awhile, life gets in the way a bit at times. I still have some more units that I can come up with, but I think that list is already large enough that I rather wait and see what happens with the current list. Plus I want to see what TW:Warhammer 3 has to offer before I get too far ahead of myself.

Thanks for the well layed out ideas, as you say im waiting for game 3 before doing much more cus i think there will be a lot i can use from Cathay and Kislev for the mung. I think my favourite ideas are the supply wagon and other chariots that could be pulled by the oxen used for the Cathy artillery, i think the wind horse could work really well as something like a unit of Pegasus riders but with hawk and eagle wings. Personally i prefer a more descriptive naming pattern just so its easier to understand what units do. Think a Khan generic lord could be good aswell that has access to hordes

Yeah I cannot wait to see what the Mod Community can do with Kislev & Cathay units being added to the mix. Especially the Cathay Jade Warriors or Celestial Guard that I think could make a visually great Medium-Heavy Cavalry unit for the Mung with some color changes & Northmen/Chaos decorative additions. I also like that idea of Ox pulled Wagons & Carts, especially since I can see the Mung using those to pull their Supplies/Siege craft around with them to spare the Horses. Overall a lot of neat things you all will be able to use in the future.

I'll admit when it comes to unit Names, I didn't know if I should go for flavor naming or more simplistic naming. I actually had two different paths in mind and ended up going in between them to make a third path. One was more flavorful naming (which is what I used most) and the other was more simplistic naming (The Unhung units are examples of the more simplistic version, as Unhung just means Non-Hung which is a play off of Ungor vs Gor basically.)

One thing you all could do if you cannot make the Mung a pure Horde faction, is make two different kinds of Lords. One that leads Hordes & has skills that make them better attackers and one that protects captured territory & has skills that make them better defenders. So using my list of units you could do the following-

- Ilkhan -> Tasked with overseeing & defending captured territory
- Khan -> Tasked with capturing & attacking enemy territory

Then you can drop the Boyan unit I had suggested as its role could be elevated from Hero to Lord with a name change.

Happy you liked some of the ideas I put forward. If I had to really push for any of them though, it would be the Mungalith Hunters. I really dig your Goliath Mod and because the Mung/Hung are a primitive race, they would ideally lack a lot of proper native made Artillery. Then I got thinking about the Giants in Game of Thrones with the giant War Bow one of them used and thought "That would be an awesome Primitive level Ballista of sorts."

Here is the video to show what I'm talking about.

Yeah I tryed to make a giant archer for them using the bone giant animations but it did look right, but some form of primative artillery would be cool for sure

Hmm how about having them throw Javelins? It may not be as visually impressive as shooting a bow. But, it's still a Giant throwing a giant Javelin through the air which...well, a Ballista is really nothing more than a overgrown arrow being shot from a overgrown crossbow with wheels or on a stand.
