The demise of Kr'skript

Here's just a little something I wrote for the SoC battle report section. Any input is appreciated

Warlock Engineer Kr'skript surveyed the dwarf supply train from his vantage point in a cave high on one of the mist enshrouded peaks of the Middle Mountains. His master, the Grey Seer Liquil following the orders of the Skaven Over-general Verminous Fang, had sent Kr'skript to ambush and destroy these caravans before they could reinforce the defenders at Hergig.

It was a small force of Dwarfs, the only thing that worried Kr'skript was the small hover-thing wizzing around the caravan, scouting for any threats. Turning to his side, Kr'skript addressed the massive black-furred captain of his Stormvermin bodyguard. "Ready the clanrats, make sure the ratling guns are ready to shoot-shoot. And try not to put any more slaves in the warpfire thrower again."

The fangleaders grin was quickly silenced by a menacing look for Kr'skript and a careful brandishing of his warplock pistol. "Now is time to kill-kill hated dwarf-things." He shouted to his horde. "Charge-Charge!!"

A tide of rotten fur swarmed out of the cave and crashed into the hastily erected dwarfen shield wall. Kr'skript could see clanrats dying in droves, but at least they were taking a few stunties with them.

"Fire-fire, NOW!" he shouted at his weapons crews. The ratling gun crew fired its insane machine, the gunner turning the crank with a maniacal glint in its evil eye. Dwarfs in heavy silver armor died in droves to the deadly machine. The warpfire thrower also managed to immolate several of the dwarfs before emitting a high pitched whine and erupting in a spectacular green fireball. Kr'skript sighed. That was the third crew this week, and he was getting tired of having to fix the infernal contraption.

In any event, his musings were drawn to a close as the Dwarf Lords unit pounded its way closer to Kr'skript's stormvermin.

"Time-time to have fun" he cackled as he activated his warp energy condensor. Green lightning danced across his arcane armor as he leveled his warp-blades at the foe and unleased a blast of raw warp-energy, incinerating many of the Dwarfs where they stood.

However, much to Kr'skripts dismay, the Dwarf Lord seemed unaffected by the magics and scattered his rat underlings left and right in an attempt to get to him. Kr'skript paniced and was about to order a retreat when he noticed a whirring sound from behind. He had forgotten the gyrocopter.

***

By the time Hazgid smashed his way through the rest of the Skaven and got to the shattered remains of the Stormvermin, the Warlock who had fried so many good warriors was a ruin of fur, metal and blood. Yet, with his last reserves of strength, the rat pointed upward with one mangled claw. "You think you have won-won dwarf-thing? Your flying machine will help Project Supremacy much-much." Hazgid looked up. At the peak of the mountain, a figure in blue robes held its arms up to the sky, surrounded by innumerable rat warriors. He could see black clad warriors throwing grappling hooks onto his gyrocopter, pulling its crew screaming into a dark cave.

The Skaven at his feet laughed, a hollow wet sound. "Seer Liquil always knows-knows his enemy." Hazgid looked up one final time in abject horror at the unnatrual lightning hitting the mountain around the Seer before the warpstorm buried him under a thousand tons of warp-scoured rock.
