	He is arguably the most powerful Grey Seer that ever existed and has even had Teclis thinking that maybe he should be practicing his spells more. However Thanquol's full potential is lost under a swarm of distractions, incompetence, cowardliness, anxiety, backstabbing, pesky kids and their damn dog or just plain fucking up because it wouldn't be Skaven if everything went according to plan. An example of this is when Thanquol attempted to summon a Vermin Lord but then accidentally summoned Skarbrand, the most powerful of Bloodthirsters, due to a spectacular mistake in interpreting the use of a powerful relic (it was a mummified Grey Seer's paw that had secretly been sabotaged long before Thanquol found it). Keep in mind that Chaos sorcerers have to sacrifice hundreds of slaves to even attempt this and even the sorcerers themselves are likely to explode from the backlash, but instead Thanquol, showing no signs of repercussion, simply chewed another warpstone rock candy, washed his hands of the entire mess and casually (but quickly) strolled away while both dwarfs and skaven proceeded to start killing EVERYTHING with Skarbrand happily smooshing single book exclusive characters out of continuity. Oh also Queek Headtaker was over there, who would NEVER trust Thanquol again for scaring him that hard, but what'evs.		He is arguably the most powerful Grey Seer that ever existed and has even had Teclis thinking that maybe he should be practicing his spells more.

	As you might (or might not) have expected, Thanquol's the big boss character for the Skaven-focused fourth book of [[The End Times]], which is, fittingly, named ''Thanquol'' in his honor, yeah. No, seriously, he actually receives a massive competence boost as a well as a new mega-Boneripper, which he rides around on, much like how the [[Glottkin]] ride around on their youngest brother.

	Considering Chaos won The End Times this makes him canonically more competent by default than Abby and his missfired warp rift "I-AM-BEST-ANTAGONIST-VILLAIN THAN THE ARMLESS CHAOS-THING YES-YES!".		Considering Chaos won The End Times this makes him canonically more competent by default than Abby and his missfired warp rift "I-AM-BEST-ANTAGONIST-VILLAIN MORE THAN THE ARMLESS CHAOS-THING YES-YES!".

	He was confirmed active in AoS as of Realmslayer making him the oldest known skaven alive. He is now a feared Skaven mastermind going by the moniker "The Grey Lord", whose brilliant master plan to destroy the multidimensional city of Hammerhal would have succeeded if a certain [[Gotrek & Felix\|one-eyed dwarf]] hadn't returned from chaos and wrecked it almost incidentally. Thus stoking speculation that Gotrek's return is not to find Felix but to prove that Thanquol can never ever have nice things. Most recently Thanqoul caused one of the greatest fuck ups in skaven society and started the year of the Drowned Rat. How he did this was simple: he had thousands of skaven dig a tunnel into the realm of death from Skavenblight, "YES-YES A MOST CUNNING IDEA-THOUGHT!!" but this being Mother Fucking Thanquol it was bound to fuck up and so the tunnel opened up into the bottom of a sea. YES HE BUILT A TUNNEL INTO AN OCEAN OF SHYISH, "well at least it could not get worse-worse"~~, which caused immense flooding and drowned thousands of skaven~~. Now because this being [[nagash\|Old Naggie's]] domain and these waters being part of it, OF COURSE the water was full of zombies and OF COURSE any Skaven killed by the Shyishian waters or zombies became zombies themselves and the Age of the Drowned Rat began (this also means Thanquol unintentionally helped Nagash find the [[Idoneth Deepkin]]). "WELL AT LEAST WE STILL LIVE YES-YES, ISN'T THAT RIGHT BONERIPPER 999?". He somehow managed to stop the invasion, saving the Blight City, then he fled fearing envy and blame from his rivals.

	So he actually gets shit done now. Sometimes. The new Skaven Battletome mentions how some of his plans can go spectacularly well or screw up in the most catastrophic ways. Also, nowadays he receives the occasional help in escaping from his own failed schemes from the Great Horned Rat himself, who finds his antics absolutely lulzy. Thanquol seems unaware of that fact thinking it's just his endless talent and skills. "LIES-LIES! I AM AWARE-KNOW HORNED SENPAI NOTICES ME AT LAST-LAST!".		So he actually gets shit done now.

	Boneripper sports two sets of Warpfire Projectors.

He's also got a special rule that lets him shoot at two different targets in the same shooting phase. Alternatively, if close combat's more your thing, you can trade them all out for Warpstone Braziers - Warpstone Melee Weapons, Strength +1, Flaming Attacks, Multiple Wounds(d3), Storm of Attacks(reroll failed to-wound rolls), Warp Fumes(all models in btb make T test or suffer a wound).

Keep in mind that Chaos sorcerers have to sacrifice hundreds of slaves to even attempt this and even the sorcerers themselves are likely to explode from the backlash, but instead Thanquol, showing no signs of repercussion, simply chewed another warpstone rock candy, ~~dusted~~ his hands and casually (but quickly) strolled away while both ~~dwarves~~ and skaven proceeded to start killing EVERYTHING with Skarbrand happily smooshing single book exclusive characters out of continuity. Oh also Queek Headtaker was over there, but what'evs.		He is arguably the most powerful Grey Seer that ever existed and has even had Teclis thinking that maybe he should be practicing his spells more.

	As you might (or might not) have expected, Thanquol's the big boss character for the Skaven-focused fourth book of [[The End Times]], which is, fittingly, named ''Thanquol'' in his honor, yeah. No, seriously, he actually receives a massive competence boost as a well as a new mega-Boneripper, which he rides around on, much like how the [[Glottkin]] ride around on their youngest brother.

	He was confirmed active in AoS as of Realmslayer making him the oldest known skaven alive. He is now a feared Skaven mastermind going by the moniker, "The Grey Lord" whose brilliant ~~masterplan~~ to destroy the multidimensional city of Hammerhal would have succeeded if a certain [[Gotrek & Felix\|one-eyed dwarf]] hadn't returned from chaos and wrecked it almost incidentally. Thus stoking speculation that Gotrek's return is not to find Felix but to prove that Thanquol can never ever have nice things. Most recently ~~thanqoul~~ caused one of the greatest fuck ups in skaven society and started ~~The~~ year of the Drowned Rat~~, how~~ he did this was simple~~. He~~ had thousands of skaven to dig a tunnel into the realm of death from ~~skavenblight~~, "YES-YES A MOST CUNNING IDEA-THOUGHT!!" but this being Mother Fucking Thanquol it was bound to fuck up and so the tunnel opened up into the bottom of a sea, YES HE BUILT A TUNNEL INTO AN OCEAN OF SHYISH, "well at least it could not get worse-worse." which ~~cause~~ immense flooding and drowned thousands of skaven. Now because this being [[nagash\|Old Naggie's]] domain and these waters being part of it, OF COURSE the water was full of zombies and OF COURSE any Skaven killed by the Shyishian waters or zombies became zombies themselves and ~~such did~~ the Age of the Drowned Rat began (this also means Thanquol unintentionally helped Nagash find the [[Idoneth Deepkin]]). "WELL AT LEAST WE STILL LIVE YES-YES, ISN'T THAT RIGHT ~~BONRIPPER~~ 999?". He somehow managed to stop the invasion, saving the Blight City, then he fled fearing envy and blame from his rivals.

	~~Yeah, it appears~~ he ~~has received a boost of competence, or at least murderously amusing randomness as the~~ new Skaven Battletome mentions how some of his plans can go spectacularly ~~great~~ or screw ~~things~~ in the most catastrophic ~~way as shown by the previous anecdote, also~~, nowadays he receives the occasional help in escaping from his own failed schemes from the Great Horned Rat himself, who finds his antics absolutely lulzy~~, he is~~ unaware of that fact thinking it's just his endless talent and skills. "LIES-LIES! I AM AWARE-KNOW HORNED SENPAI NOTICES ME AT LAST-LAST!".		So he actually gets shit done now. Sometimes.

Also, nowadays he receives the occasional help in escaping from his own failed schemes from the Great Horned Rat himself, who finds his antics absolutely lulzy.

	As mentioned above, Thanquol first appeared as a recurring nemesis in the tales of suicidal stuntie and mighty whitey, with Gotrek repeatedly destroying Thanquol's minions and plans, and slaying several incarnations of Boneripper. This culminated in ''Elfslayer'', when Thanquol finally captured Gotrek & Felix~~...~~ only to learn that they had never even known his name and they were not, as he had thought, dedicated to his personal destruction, but merely butchered their way through what were to them nothing but random encounters. This did not sit well with Thanquol's ego, to say the least.

	Things have changed following the jump to AoS, as upon learning of Gotrek’s survival, Thanquol had a legendary freak out and ordered the slayer’s immediate death. Gotrek now sees the rat as a proper enemy and swore to cut him down in the name of Felix’s dead father, who had died previously due to Thanquol’s schemes. The seer and the slayer finally reunite face-to-bearded-face in “Blood of the Old World”, where they duel for control of a Realmgate leading to the World-That-Was. Thanquol lost an the gate was destroyed but the fight was spectacular.
