An Ork preparing to fire a Squig Launcha from a Rukkatrukk Squigbuggie.
The Squig Launcha is an Ork infantry weapon that, as its name suggests, fires various breeds of the vicious Orkoid organisms known as Squigs at the foe. It is a favourite weapon of the Orks that crew a Rukkatrukk Squigbuggie.
The Squig Launcha is Ork-portable, often tossed between one crewman and another in order to quickly deliver the perfect Squig into the middle of an enemy squad, bunker or transport as the Rukkatrukk rides past. Three types of "ammunition" are favoured for use with a Squig Launcha -- Bitey Squigs, Bile Squigs, and Boom Squigs.
