The majority of the Skaven clans are Warlord clans, and within each of these clans is a clear hierarchical ladder based on the law of strength and cunning. At the pinnacle of each clan is the Warlord, a particularly powerful, treacherous and ruthless Skaven, who spends much of his time eliminating rivals, and is constantly on the lookout for threats to his position.

A Skaven Warlord may be added to your Skaven army as a Lord choice.
