Verminlord

Verminlords, also known as Servants of the Horned Rat, are the supreme manifestation of the Skavens sole diety, the Horned Rat. These deamons are by far the strongest and most fearsome weapon the Skaven Under-Empire has ever known, towering over even the brutish Rat Ogres, these creatures are near unstoppable in the field of battle. Though smaller then other Greater Deamons of the other Four Powers, they are nonetheless formidable, with only magical weapons such as Runed Swords and Axes being the only thing that could harm such a beast. Is thought that the Vermin Lords are the demonic forms of the ancient Grey Lords, warped by the deamonic influences of the Horned Rat to become their immortal servants. These horrific creatures exude an aura of unrivalled power, progressive decomposition and inscrutable wisdom, as a result of them being the physical manifestation of the Horned One. Vermin Lords are both majestic and disgusting, living icons of ruinination, decay, and anarchy, the very essence of their great diety. Warpstone amulets sometimes decorates itself with the leprous form of a Vermin Lord, for the deamon symbolizes all that the Horned Rat stands for. Despite their impressive height, they are extremely agile and fast, evoking both the fluid and nervous scamper of common rats. The heads of these nightmarish creatures are always adorned by a pair of large spiral horns, with another pair of goat-like horns growing further back. Anyone who look directly into the beast discovers terror beyond imagining, and many are even too afraid to look away at the horrid sight. Few dare to every cross such a beast in combat, and still fewer would even look at the creature. ==Overview== To summon a Vermin Lord from the other side of the great veil that includes a ritual sacrifice is required. This creature was not created to inhabit the earth and the natural world seem to protest his presence alone: ​​around him the air shaking it, the light will bend to avoid bathing her, and her body give you the feeling of being enveloped in an aura of unholy contamination. The grass will turn black to be trampled by their hoofs, and all hope will fade into their corrupt presence. The arrival of a Vermin Lord is preceded by ominous premonitions, and even themselves Lords of Decay fear being face to face with one of these omniscient avatars of the Great Horned Rat.
