Perhaps they could represent the albino guards of the Council. Instead of making them unbreakable, how about rerolling failed Ld tests or break tests only. Unbreakable units just aren't Skavenish, like Vorg said. His idea of Immune to Psychology would be ok except the unit could never choose to flee.

Aye, frenzied vermin sounds decent. It would represent their fanaticism for those they serve, pretty well, and you get the Immune to Pyschology as well.

Otherwise, like everybody else, the unbreakable makes my spine shudder, even though in fluff I cheated and just mutated dwarfs into skaven. *shrugs* Just my solutions... y'know. If it's not good enough, play god. XD

Hey wait till you hear what they are. These Skaven are not regular skaven they come from high up in the mountains of Ekrund. There they encounter more hazardous enemies (much more hazardous than simple skaven). in the mountains they train non-stop. Forif they do and they are caught unaware they will die in no time at all.
have to tell uses another day.

and how do these swordmasters fit into the context of the fluff?

Sorry but it doesn't quite explain it. Skaven deal with various hazardous conditions all the time even among themselves (just ask the moulder with his chimerat/troll/ogre thing), and they die in no time at all anyway, estimated lifspan of 10 years if they're lucky.

I'd follow with the rest, go with frenzy. Unbreakable skaven is like sigmar-worshipping daemons.

Give them stubborness instead.

Their harsh living conditions could make them stubborn.

You should also make the regular stats for common skaven swordmaster units.

and your character should at least be a WS7 considering that a common warlord is WS6.

maybe the entire clan consists of warlords, whose sense of honour drives them to train as much as HE swordmasters... because they are immortal

:blink:

An entire clan of warlords who are immortal is just a recipe for disaster among skaven :P They'll be thinking of ways to assassinate and outdo each other in a power struggle, instead of training. And having honor.

but they would never assasinate people because of the moral fiber they got from the priests of sigmar... who raised them since they were 5...
