The Skaven Chieftain claws his way to power as a battle-hardened leader in Total War: WARHAMMER II. This heavily armored warrior wields an armour-piercing halberd and rides a Bonebreaker mount to shred enemy cavalry. He bolsters nearby allies with Physical Resistance and rallies army-wide Leadership if the commander falls.
Recruit him from any settlement featuring a Clan Barracks in this action strategy game on PC. Low health triggers his survival instinct, redirecting the resistance buff to himself alone. Strategy players who favor frontline counters and adaptive support roles will command him to hold the line.
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.
