ok, i've updated my warlord, and i wrote a litle bit of history. there's a lot more, but this about summons it up.
i removed all the weapons because i wanted to focus on his own abbillities.

Warlord Pipsqueak, Champion of the Horned Rat

Pipsqueak uses up a lord and hero slot, and may only be fielded in a clan Pipsqueak army. He will always be the army’s general. No matter what. He must be fielded exactly as presented here, and no additional equipment or magic item may be given to him.

30 years ago, clan Morrs was on its way to power. Warlord Gnawdwel, gave order of a special clandestine breeding program, to create the perfect skaven soldier. Faster, stronger, extremely vicious, and capable of following orders to the letter. Though the scientists where able to create a pack of newly formed skaven, only the smallest runt was capable of any rational thought and speech. Named Pipsqueak after his small size, the runt quickly grew in a healthy specimen of the skaven race. Standing head and shoulder above any normal sized skaven, he possessed the strength of an orc, and was able to outdistance any slave.
He was trained by the best Eshin instructors in the ways of martial combat.
Soon Gnawdwell saw use of further improvements.
During several painful procedures, pipsqueaks blood was replaced with a new skalm rich concoction.
A Gromlin-Warpstone alloy was created, to replace his bones, but shortly after they had modified his paws, which where now able to sprout large claws from the tips of his fingers, Pipsqueak escaped, slicing his way trough the guards, freeing an army of slaves, and then fled with his new army to the kingdom of Bretonnia.
Warlord Gnawdwell shut down the project, on account of the “Price of the raw materials”
Pipsqueak found an abandoned dwarven stronghold, which was now the home of a small skaven clan.
Pipsqueak quickly rose to power through sheer strength, and started raiding the surrounding lands. He became wealthy by trading captured slaves with the chaos dwarves to the east, in return for large quantities of Warpstone. He further increased his foothold by placing spies. Everywhere. There was nobody in the world he could not blackmail. No High Elf wizard, no Cathayan general, no Arabyan sultan. All where under his control. He even was able to got the council of 13 to leave him to the business of creating a gigantic army in the name of the horned rat.
He surrounded himself with several individuals which seemed to be equally unhinged as he was. Like, Anaish, the serpent princess of Slaanesh, and Ripgut, the orc Warlord of Bloodpike mountain for starters.
More and more flocked under his banner. He himself becomes more aggressive as his power grows. He rides on his creation, Steelsnap, screaming at the top of his lungs, praying the horned rat for death and destruction, and total victory over his enemies.
And now he stands ready to unleash his horde on the kingdom of Bretonia, and after that…the world.



_____________M WS BS S T W I A LD
Warlord Pipsqueak: 5 6 4 4 4 3 7 4(5) 7

Cost: 435pts

Equipment: Pipsqueak wears Warpstone armour, bands of power, a shield, and a hand weapon.


SPECIAL RULES

Supreme ruler: Pipsqueak has taken control using excessive force and blackmailing. His soldiers don’t respect him, they fear him.
To represent this, any unit within 12 inch of pipsqueak becomes stubborn out of fear of punishment.
They are terrified to fail him, and constantly seek his guidance. If Pipsqueak is in your army and a skaven unit is outside the 12 inch range, and not in close combat, that unit must make an immediate panic test. They may use there rank bonus as normal though.

Chosen of the Horned Rat: Pipsqueak claims himself to be the embodiment of skavendom. He sees himself as the true herald of the horned rat. Whether or not this is true, he has been able to escape impossible odds. Being swallowed by a drogon for one…
To represent this, he has a 5+ wardsave.

Rend: in stead of fighting with a hand weapon and a shield, pipsqueak may fight with his metal claws. At the beginning of any combat fase, you may choose to declare to do this. In this state Pipsqueak loses any modifiers the shield and hand weapon give, but he gains an additional attack, and all attacks count as armour piercing.

“I loath you!”: Pipsqueak hates all humans, despite sometimes being immune to psychology.
This hatred includes: imperial Humans, Bretonian Humans, any chaos marauders and warriors, and any human Dogs of War.

Skalm blood: Pipsqueaks blood has been replaced with Skalm by Clan Morrs. To represent the healing abilities of this product, pipsqueak has the Regenerate special rule.

Insane: pipsqueak is not one of the sanest individuals. At the start of every turn, you must roll a D6 on the following table, and apply the result:

1-2 “These incessant voices in me head!” Pipsqueak try’s to listen to the voices that all try to give him advice at the same time. He is affected by stupidity for one turn.
3-4 “the world will be mine-mine!” All as normal. No effect.
5-6 “I am your doom! I’ll rip out your spine!” Pipsqueak works himself into a fanatical rage. He will be affected by frenzy for one turn. Note, if he is also fighting with his claws, he also gets the additional attack for being frenzied, up to a grand total of 6 attacks


tell me what you think

Edit:

A few things.

Again, I dislike this ratwyrm. Skaven arn't supposed to have uber homocide inducing beasties... we just aren't cut out for it. The skalm blood is iffy. How on earth do you replace you blood with skalm? Your body continues to make blood, and besides, the process would kills most any body... :unsure:
Bod... err... I mean UB!

As would many of the moulder beasts when they are beeing cutted by the moulders... ;)

I kinda liked that skalm blood thingy, but the ratwyrm is just wierd. Remove it.

Otherwise it's a pretty good character. A lot of special rules to remember so maybe the skaven turn would be longer than normal when having him... :rolleyes:
We are living on this world on rented time and now we can't pay the rent
We have thrown out our garbage into the corridor and we have clogged the toilet
We have annoyed the neighbors and we have pissed off the landlord
We have stolen all the wares from the nature and we have poisoned our veins with greed
We have powered our hearts with a false promise that we aren't so bad and we have told ourself that everything happens for reason
We say that we will be forgiven and that all we do will ok when we die
We do not deserve to be spared and we deserve to burn
For the anquish we have caused this world
We deserve to burn

Prince of Bretonnia
Acctually a really fair and anf fairly balanced character....

Except for one little thing...


Stubborn. No Skaven should ever be stubborn....never ever ever ever, not in a million years :P . Still, they need something...perhaps have him act as a standard (allowing re-rolls of Leadership tests), or immune to fear or panic... (Still VERY powerful for Skaven ;))
