Sure, but to be precise - Your Warlord, even if he's not Clan Leader, firmly believes that he should be and that the current leader is filthy usurper, who killed former leader not in a fight, but during his sleep which is a dishonorable act (if used by someone else, of course, for your Warlord it's fair game) - that's the Skaven way.  

Ah, yeah, of-course-course! ? I just finished reading the 7th edition army book and they really mention the backstabbing and megalomania at least twice on every page.

And regarding my question: It was quite stupid anyway. I tend to forget how vast the Age of Sigmar setting is and that virtually anything is okay, if you can come up with a plausible or even only entertainung story for it, hehe.

Yes. The Arch-Warlock is such a badbass unit and the best non-monster Hero the Skaven have

And for more narrative aproach: Arch-Warlock is a Skryre Warlock Engineer that achieved the highest rank by constructing killing contraptions, scheming and stabbing in the back both enemies and allies (usual skaven stuff). He probably can decide about promotions of lesser Engineers (the answer is usually "no") and Arch-Warlocks surely form war councils, where they plan new conquests and betrayals.

Thanks a ot @Lord_Skrolk and @michu! I plan on putting him in charge of my small force, that fit's very nicely and leads to the next question: From the 7th Edition Skaven Army Book I know that there has been an hiearchy of warlords within each Skaven Clan. If I am not mistaken the rules of those days didn't reflect that (or at least very well), and currently there's just one "Warlord". But putting one into a force and assuming that he is not a Clan Leader, but somewhere a bit down the hiearchy (like part of a war council) is probably quite okay, isn't it?

Hey there, just a small question: If I read the Warscroll Builder correctly the  Archwarlock is the most expensive "regular" Skaven Hero (meaning it's a "common" Skaven that rose among the Ranks of the Skaven to it's current position – unlinke the Verminlord Daemons – and he doesn't have a powerful companion, like the Screaming Bell or Boneripper). Does that imply that it's currently the most powerfull regular Hero Character?

(I'm asking for background story-building reasons, but I try to keep the backstory in line with the rules / crunch …)

I just found out the Skweel Gnawtooth the former Clan Moulder Packmaster Hero has almost the same Backstory as Canis Wolfborn, which … just makes Skaven even more awesome. I was so happy about this coincidence, that I thought, I have to share it with someone, yes-yes.

I definitely have to take a closer look into the Space Wolves product range for conversion option, hehe.
