More grey every day.
Grey Seer can use a warplock pistol from the scavenge pile now, right?

I'm assuming that level 4 wizards have to work their way up the ranks, don't they? Field him as a WE on his way to Grey Seerdom.
So old. So so old.

Paint them metallic, and they become decoration!

I agree, I could totally see some warplock engineer crafting metallic horns that contained some sort of hidden device in them. Maybe a warpstone locator, or some sort of rod to pick up the winds of magic better. Keep the horns, man, keep the horns.

Maybe hes actually a Clan Eshin assassin disguised as a grey seer with fake horns and all the grey seer costume comes with!

We all know that GSs have unprecedented access to all of Skavendom. What better disguise would there be?

Hes just waiting for the best time to throw off the horns and weeping blade some poor enemy of the Co13.

LASER HORNS!

Or they're actually face mounted doomrockets.

Tin-foil horns to keep away the brain-waves?

But it is never stated that only Grey Seers have white fur, or are the only ones with horns, it's just what usually marks out a Grey Seer... But mutations are a common result of exposure to Warpstone, even amongst the relatively Warpstone-resistant Skaven...

Wow, thank you all for your input! I really didn't want to mutilate the head of this classic old figure, so now you have convinced me, my fellow rat-in-arms, that I can keep the horns and call him a Warlock engineer/Seer in training and no one will have a right to be offended.

I am going to have to cut that pointing arm off however, to give him a proper Doom Rocket.

I'll post a picture when I get to it, which will be after I finish the plague priest, master moulder and warp grinder that I am currently working on...(darn, this new book has me busy!)

As some random imput, someone mentioned that in the old fluff magic was restricted to grey seers and clan Skryre. Very true, however that ruling was made before clan pestilens had seats on the council. In fact, they made a huge series of demands when they showed back up years later, and there was a major civil war because of it. The story is actually mentioned in the early fluff section of the new book, if anyone is interested.
