===Named Leaders===

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/AoS_Skaven_Warscroll_card_Lord_Skreech_Verminking.pdf Lord Skreech Verminking]:''' (Masterclan, Behemoth, 400pts) combining weapons from several of the vermin lord options and the same 5+ ward versus all damage, the king of the rats also brings a "choose each turn" multi-option buff that has six different effects. He can choose from +1 to spell casting, d3 wounds self-heal, exploding sixes mortal wounds off his plague reaper, - 1 to be hit by enemies or increased rend of the glaive from -1 to -3. In addition, he has the warpseer two spell cast and a really good spell that rolls 13d6 and does mortal wounds on a 4+ per dice. It then summons a unit of clan rats equal to wounds caused, making it go from good to amazing due to the potential swing on an objective being 14 on average (seven mortal wounds, seven new rats). He rounds off with a command ability that's a bubble of reroll 1s to hit within 13". A great character, although possibly outshone by the next guy... 

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/AoS_Skaven_Warscroll_card_Thanquol.pdf Thanquol on Boneripper]:''' (Masterclan, Behemoth, 415pts) oh lordy it's 415 points but you get a lot of bang for your buck here! The great grey seer and his custom ride are better than ever, combining solid spell casting and impressive ranged and melee damage with good resilience and a strong command ability in an all-round excellent package. Firstly, he's a 14 wound slab of health with the same 5+ ward after save on top of a 4+ normal save. This is supported by a d3 self heal every turn. The behemoth drop off isn't too bad either and bone ripper will be useful as long as it is alive. The good stuff is with Thanquol and his magic, boasting Arkhan the Black levels of casting buff, double cast and dispel, and a fantastic spell which forces enemy heroes to fight either their allies or even themselves. Hit the five times waagh buffed Warboss with this and he will literally beat himself to death! Thanquol also access the excellent lore of ruin as a grey seer. Bone ripper is no slouch either and can be equipped with any combination of up to four weapons chosen from warpfire projectors or braziers. The damage output can get crazy high and he has clubbing blows to back up whichever option suits you best. Four warpfire throwers are possibly one of the most rage-inducing answers to horde lists ever created...(Actually, that seems like huge overkill, two will on average hit every model in the unit that is in range for a mortal wound).  Finally, Thanquol has a command ability which, whilst situational, will be amazing when needed. He spends one cp and grants, three other heroes, the ability to use the rules book standard command abilities for no cost. Combine this with the masterclan CP regain and you could harvest 3cp back for spending one...can anyone else say "faq"? 

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/AoS_Skaven_Warscrolls_Skritch_Spiteclaw.pdf Skritch Spiteclaw]:''' (Verminus, 165pts) Quite similar to the Clawlord, with a few key differences. He returns models to his Swarm. But, he lacks the +1 attack per suffered wound ability of the standard Clawlord. Else, the stats are all the same. Overall, a pretty good pick, take alongside his Swarm for obvious reasons.
**''Alternate Take:'' A Clawlord ticks in at 110pts. Swarm's 55 points. If you're gonna take a swarm with your Clawlord, take a Rat Swarm and keep Cornered Fury.

*'''[https://www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/GnvshilvPiKWvp7A.pdf Slynk Skittershank]:''' (Eshin, 225pts) A Deathmaster who, instead of hiding in units, hides in terrain with his mandatory goons. When he strikes while within 3" of 'em he strikes first and can retreat afterwards. Not too impressive over a standard Deathmaster but his goons are cheap and nothing to scoff at. Also one of the few units that can Alpha strike since he comes in within 6".
