A bolt thrower is made from solid wood and iron. They have a profile like a creature with a toughness value and a number of wounds which they can sustain before they are destroyed.
The move rate is the speed the bolt thrower can be moved by its full crew assuming it has wheels. An engine which does not have wheels cannot be moved. If crew are slain the bolt thrower's speed is reduced proportionally. A bolt thrower cannot move and shoot in the same turn except to turn to face its target.
