THE WARLORD CLANS

by Tommy Punk

The Warlord Clans are the most numerous in Skavendom, but in reality they are made up of countless lesser clans and held together by the might of a Warlord. Each lair is ruled by a Chieftain and a Warlord has either conquered the lair or been given oaths of loyalty and alliance. The Warlord is the head of the clan and is inevitably the strongest, cruelest, and most cunning to have united a number of lesser clans. The Warlord has often proven himself in battle as a fierce fighter and then manipulating his way upward through the ranks of Stormvermin to Chieftain. The Chieftains control individual Clan warrens and burrows, these lairs are more of a large extended family with hundreds of members.

The Skaven are so numerous that many starve in their warrens or die from cave-ins, infighting or disease in the cramped conditions. The starving mouths of Skavendom need more food than Skavendom can provide thousands of slaves die each year on the grain fields or are eaten as a last foodsource.

See Warhammer Armies Skaven.

0-1 Battle Standard
The Battle Standard is marked with the Warlord clan’s or symbols or the personal mark of the Warlord. The Battle Standard changes hands often and the position of the warlord’s personal champion is not a much-sought job.

See Warhammer Armies Skaven.

Chieftains
The Chieftains are the leaders of the lairs that make up the larger Warlord clan. They all aspire to become a Warlord of their own and it's a hard task for the Warlord to plan a battle when he know that any one the Clanrat units may turn against him if their Chieftain think he has a shot at the Warlord title.

0-1 Units of Stormvermin

They guard the personal lair of the Warlord as well as the breeding chambers, their elevated position allow them access to the breeders. A right that they defend vigorously and of course makes frequent use of. On the battlefield they are the strongest and best equipped regiment and are capable of taking on even Dwarf Longbeards.

See Warhammer Armies Skaven.

Clanrats Warriors
The bulk of the Warlord clan is made up of the Clanrats, a semi-trained milita who rely on weight of numbers to win their battles. In times of war every Clanrat is given some form of weapon and shield and is drafted into fighting for the clan and the Warlord. In times of food shortage the Clanrats are given a chanse to feed on the fallen enemies and driven almost insane by the black hunger.

See Warhammer Armies Skaven.

Skavenslaves
Skaven make great use of slaves, and many battles are fought just to gather slaves as a defeated clan is often taken as slaves. In battle they are often herded together to absorb missile fire and generally die in droves as the Clanrats advance behind them.
