Queek Headtaker
Queek is unscrupulous, vicious and without mercy. The Skaven, therefore, consider him most admirable.Warlord Queek Headtaker is Right Claw to Warlord Gnawdwell, grand ruler of Clan Mors and member of the Council of Thirteen. That Queek has risen so high in arguably the most powerful Warlord clan is a credit to the terrible violence he unleashed on any in his way. Queek's vicious streak and vitriolic temper, along with his immense ego, are legendary amongst Skaven, who regard such traits as greatly admirable. Although his scarlet-armoured Stormvermin often accompany him, Warlord Queek takes pleasure in personally dispatching enemy leaders. In his arrogance, he carries the severed heads of his latest opponents on a trophy rack to remind followers - and Warlord Gnawdwell - of the fighting prowess of the almighty Warlord Queek, the Headtaker, the Dwarf-smiter. Adorned upon spikes in Queek's collection are Krug Ironhand, Ikit Slash of Fester Spike, and the hands of Baron Albrecht Kraus of Averland.

Strengths & Weaknesses
- Armoured
Armoured units can block damage from any source apart fromArmour-Piercing damage.
- Armour-Piercing
The damage ofarmour-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.
- Anti-Infantry
Anti-infantry units have an advantage against targets that are smaller than a horse. This advantage can be adamage bonus against small targets, superior weight used to smash through lighter enemies, or an explosive attack from range that effects a large area.
- Duellist
This unit is best used to attack individual targets such asLords or
Heroes. As it can only damage very few individuals at a time, it is not suitable against hordes of weak enemies.
