The Elves of Ulthuan have never developed the unreliable gunpowder technology favoured by the Men and Dwarfs of the Old World. Indeed they have never needed to, for their marksmanship is such that to rely on such crude weapons could only prove detrimental to their awesome prowess with missile-fire. Instead, the Asur rely on the tried and tested war machines that have served their race since the ancient war against the Daemons, the same weapons that saw them through the Sundering and the War of the Beard – the Eagle Claw Bolt Thrower.

The Eagle Claw, or Repeater Bolt Thrower as it is often known, is operated by a torsion and counter-weight system, the result of which is a long, spear-like bolt hurled at the enemy with incredible force and accuracy. Made from composite layers of star wood, which are magically bound together, the Eagle Claw has a strength and accuracy unmatched by the barbarous weapons of other races. Such is the precision that the bolts are thrown with, that an individual warrior can be accurately impaled several hundred yards away. The force of this individual bolt is such that even the mightiest creatures can be severely wounded, if not killed and several men standing in file can easily be skewered by the same shot. The sides of High Elf warships and the battlements of High Elf fortresses bristle with Eagle Claws, manned by constantly vigilant Lothern Sea Guard.
