This is going to be obscure as shit, and I don't know if I'll get an answer, but I'm trying to remember the name of a item.

It was used for throwing spears, it acted as an extension of the arm and allowed you to throw much farther and harder.

I'm fairly certain it was used by Australian aborigines, but it may have been Native Americans of some kind too.

I drew (a horrible) drawing of it, looking at it from the side.

What the hell is it called? There's a specific term for it that I can't remember.

If you were wondering why I asked, I was pondering what kind of weapons the Skaven in a story would use.

Considering that Skaven would be relatively small, I decided a focus on quick and more precise weapons, as well as unorthodox weapons (to make up for lack of strength) were in order. Plus, anything a little more sinister looking or thin and curvy in design.

Much of the things used by ninjas and samurai have found their way in. But I also wanted to find unique things that have aren't seen often. Thinking Falx-like, Naginata-like weapons, as well as poisons, short bows and smoke bombs, just as a few examples.

On second thought though, a thrown weapon like this seems to fit better with a mythological race like Centaur.

If we're talking Warhammer, an Atlatl is much more... Lizardman then Skaven. I see them using something weaponry that is much more primitive, or scalped off of a more euro-centric culture.

It's only my intention to steal the race and name of said race from Warhammer.

Maybe if the Atlatl was powered by vaporized warpstone, shot an armor piercing bomb-tipped javelin, and had a marginally small chance to destroy the wielder on use, it could be skaven.

I played a defensive skaven army. Even when I won, I ended up destroying half of my own army anyways.
