/TG/heim:The Blackfur Horde (Skaven)
Intro[edit]
While Friktik is technically the leader of this warband, Tranling is the actual brains behind the warband, with a vision of overrunning the man-things cities with a horde of rats under his direct control. As a result, he makes every effort to convince Friktik to hire only those of weak will that he can bend to his purposes, ideally the mindlessly obedient giant rats that surround them at all times. Only time will tell if Tranling is delusional or a visionary.
However, Tranling has since disappeared in a cloud of rats, likely never to return to Mordheim's cursed walls.

Heroes[edit]
Friktik the Fang[edit]
This assassin is adept at wreaking devastation among enemy lines with his poisoned blades. That is, if his spine doesn't give out and cause him to cower behind the nearest piece of cover from anything scarier than he is.

The White Swarm[edit]
These rats are patient, waiting wherever Tranling or Friktik commands better than the most loyal hound, and as a result they form an ideal rear guard for the warband, and guard valuable items or members of the band.

The Twisted Swarm[edit]
These creatures have a crazed gleam in their eyes, and due to the maddening influence of the wyrdstone all around them, will variably sit and drool aimlessly or kill in a mindless fury depending on the moment.
