Total War: WARHAMMER II - Skaven Chieftain

The Skaven Chieftain is an accomplished warrior who has clawed his way to a position of authority. Heavily armoured, equipped with an armour-piercing halberd and with a Bonebreaker mount option, the Chieftain is an adept counter to armoured cavalry.





The Chieftain also performs a valuable support role, granting Physical Resistance to nearby friendly characters. If the army’s commander falls in battle, he steps into the breach and buffs army-wide Leadership.

However, when the chips are down, the innate Skaven quality of self-preservation overrides all other concerns. When his health falls below a certain threshold, his Physical Resistance buff stops affecting nearby friendly characters and instead applies to himself.

The Skaven Chieftain is recruitable from any settlement with a Clan Barracks building.
