Skaven Packmaster

Packmasters of the Clan Moulder control both Rat Ogres and packs of Giant Rats in battle.  While Rat Ogres typically need the support of the Packmaster in large scale battles, lone Rat Ogres operate quite well on their own when encountered in a Dungeon.  However, when a group of Giant Rats is encountered with a Packmaster, the additional control that the whip-wielding Skaven exerts can prove lethal!

Special Rules: Armed with Whip (Fight in 2 Ranks), Armed with Sword, Control Rats

Armed with Whip
The reach of the Whip is quite long, allowing the Packmaster to attack with this weapon from up to 3 spaces away.

Control Rats
The Packmaster exterts a high level of control over Giant Rats and Chaos Rats, tempering their erratic behavior to some degree.  To represent this, any Giant Rats or Chaos Rats on the same board section as the Packmaster are subject to being killed by their Deathleap only on a roll of 5 or 6, instead of the normal 3, 4, 5, or 6.
