Tlaqua Command

Red Crested Skink Chief

Within Lizardmen society, the quick-witted, swift-moving Skinks are the administrators and craftsmen – the workers, you might say. As is common among the Slann, certain spawnings are – for reasons unclear – faster, stronger, sharper and brighter than their peers. Such is the case of the Red Crested Skinks, who first emerged at the temple-city of Chaqua before it was attacked and overrun by a particularly vicious horde of plague-bearing Skaven, and it was the Red Crested Skinks who subsequently heeded Tehenhauin’s call and flocked to the Prophet’s banner in service of the coming Serpent-God, Sotek. As the survivors of the slaughter and the plague that followed it fanned out across Lustria, they brought word of the Prophecy of Sotek to all Lizardmen, urging them on to total war against Skavenkind and proclaiming that the sacrifice of any rat spawn would invoke the Serpent-God and hasten his blessed arrival.

Abilities

• Focus Instincts
  By which the mind is concentrated on the task at hand, allowing it to be carried out effectively whilst keeping passion and abandon firmly in check.
• Warrior's Crest
  It's not just for decoration, you know!
• Foe-Seeker
  There are those who wish nothing more than to be at the heart of battle, seeking foes to vanquish.
• Frenzy
  Some warriors care not for their own personal safety and so work themselves into a whirlwind of destruction and mindless violence!

Attributes

• Charge Defence vs. Large
  When bracing, this unit negates the charge bonus of any large attacker.
• Encourage
  This unit provides a Lord's aura and an encouraging unit will receive the larger of the two bonuses.
• Hide (forest)
  This unit can hide in forests until enemy units get too close.

Strengths & Weaknesses

• Armour-Piercing
  The damage of armour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.
• Poison Attacks
  The poisonous attacks of this unit weaken the target's speed and damage.
• Anti-Large
  Anti-large units have an advantage against targets that are at least as large as a horse. This advantage can be a damage bonus against large targets or an attack that focuses on a very small area. However, some units are simply better against large targets because their attacks are slow and easy to dodge by skilled melee combatants.
• Aquatic
  Whereas some units struggle to fight and move in shallow water, aquatic units excel.
