Warlord Sven of Clan Sniekk
Stormvermin
This special character is to be used in a normal skaven list or in my variant 'clan sniekk' list posted in the forum 'house rules' topic

The fearsome Warlord of Clan Sniekk, Warlord Sven is a large, strong and cunning individual. From his birth, his black fur marked him as a great warrior, and he joined the ranks of the Stormvermin quite soon. His skill in weapons was unparalable and he became champion of the Stormvermin Bodyguard of the ex Warlord, Vomess the Malicious.
In the battle of the Red Hill, the clan fought the night goblins of the Warboss Thrasout Darkhand. Thrasout came with his elite gobbos and a giant in front of the Stormvermin and challenged Vomess to a duel.
After the Warlord cowered, Sven accepted the challenge, and after a fierce battle, the Goblin Warboss laid dead in the field. Sven helped the others kill the giant and the battle was won.
Warlord Vomess made him a chieftain that day. That was his biggest mistake.

In the next conflict of the clan, against some Dwarf expedition force, Sven betrayed his master, and assasinated him. He then quickly took control of the army and defeated the dwarf-things.

From that time, Sven has survived several assasination attempts, has made contact with clan Skryre and Eshin for military support and has journeyed to Lustria, searching for ancient artifacts. He has fought many battles and even found the sword he calls Ratblade in one of his expeditions. Now, more than ever, wants to raid the surface world for slaves, knowledge and power.

You may include Warlord Sven in your army as a Lord Choice.

SPECIAL RULES:

General Supreme: Sven is a cunning and intelligent skaven general. He is known to use his light infantry troops with excellent precise, and to gain information about the enemy where others remain in darkness. He may deploy one unit of night runners in the army as scouts for no additional cost.

Slave Master: Sven have captured many slaves in his raiding expeditions, members of many races. He brings many of them in the field of battle, to be slaughtered to pieces!
Sven may have one more unit of slaves that he has Clanrats. That surpass the normal 'mainstay unit' rule. For example, if he has one unit of clanrats, he may field up to two units of slaves, if he has two units of clanrats, up to three units of slaves etc.

Inspiring Presence: Sven makes the skaven masses around him potent for acts beyond self-preservation! He or any unit that has the option to use his Ld may reroll one failed psychology test once per battle.

Better Equipped:
Sven always brings a better equipped unit with him to act as his bodyguard.
If there are Stormvermin in an army which includes Sven, this unit may take a banner with cost up to 75 points. If not, then one Clanrat unit in the army may carry a magical banner with cost up to 25 points.

Clan Enmity: Clan Sniekk's relationships with Clan Pestilens are not good at all. In fact, in many occasions their armies almost clash, cause he feels no friendly feelings for the usurper monks! You may not field clan Pestilens's troops in an army that includes Sven.
A Challenge? I can't say i accept, victory is in my grasp now, man thing. My horde beat-beat yours, why should i bother fight you...
Coward? I ain't coward, man-thing.
Not at all, i just take-take precautions.
Ratling Gun, fire-fire!

Squeek squeek, what an idiot...


It's a world red in tooth and claw,
a world without pity, mercy or compassion,
where only strength and cunning are respected.
Kill or be Killed, Eat or be Eaten.


The law of the Rat
