Are Skullcannons any good?

[Xenofang]

Been playing Khorne and having a blast. I thought for a laugh I would add a couple Skullcannons and was very disappointing with how they did on the battlefield & during a siege. Am I missing something, are they worth adding to an army?

They are good in their own way, as you can use them as chariots (and replenish their ammo by doing so) and use them as a ranged way to take out archers and artillery as Khorne. Otherwise they can provide light support in the back and sides if you set them up at angles to shoot into your melees. Be careful where you aim though as you might cause friendly fire.

they arnt great artillery, and they arnt amazing chariots
but if you have an army of them you can do some silly stuff with them on open fields
like bombard the enemy until you run out of ammo
then go charge until the ammo is full and repeat
they are the artillery version of marauder horsemen for people without enough self control to not charge
they are kindof a weird unit that are hard to properly fit in a khorne army since more melee troops gets you in the backline anyway because the ai doesnt cornercamp

I've never had any success with them any time I try them out. They just never seem to contribute that much to a battle. Whether that's on the unit or just me not using them well enough I don't know.

They're not that great. Compared to regular artillery, they only have 1 model, so 1 projectile, vs the standard 4, which makes a huge difference. They're also not as good as hellcannons at tracking.
Add to that the fact that autoresolve annihilates them more than any other unit in the Khorne roster and I very rarely use them. Just for fun and to diversify my armies, basically.

I find they are best used to break through an infantry line... Maybe do a little combat from the charge bonus, pull them through the other side of the enemy infantry line and fire horizontally through enemy engaged ranks on their flanks.
