- Total War: Warhammer II base game unlocks Queek Headtaker in Immortal Empires.
Clan Mors in Immortal Empires
Select Clan Mors to command Queek in Immortal Empires. He is a Skaven Warlord in the service of Gnawdwell, with a personal reputation built on killing rival champions. His campaign puts a close-combat leader at the centre of the wider Skaven army.
Clan Mors can buy additional uses of The Menace Below before battle, spending food to bring more summoned Clanrats into the fight. Taking Karak Eight Peaks also grants Frenzy to Clanrats and Stormvermin, giving Queek a campaign objective tied directly to his infantry.
Plan conquests around food as well as territory. A new border needs an army to defend it and a food supply to support expansion. Queek can win the fight at the front; reserve troops and settlement development still decide whether the resulting province is secure.
Pick a duel the army can support
Send Queek after an exposed enemy character once your infantry has fixed the surrounding troops in place. Clanrats can occupy an approach while Stormvermin support the decisive engagement. Keep a route back to friendly soldiers if the enemy redirects missiles or reinforcements toward him.
Queek brings melee fighting rather than spellcasting. Add magical support through your available caster pool, and give any ranged troops clear lanes around the infantry. Winning a duel is less useful if the rest of the army collapses while you watch it.
The Headtaker of Clan Mors
Queek serves as Gnawdwell’s Right Claw. The heads on his trophy rack advertise his victories to his followers and his master. His confidence makes him a very different leader from the evasive Tretch or the spellcasting Lord Skrolk.
Gnawdwell's Right Claw
Queek Headtaker comes with Total War: Warhammer II. The Skaven roster of 18 August 2017 calls him the legendary Great Warlord of Clan Mors, personal right-claw of Warlord Gnawdwell, groomed from birth, with assassination attempts used to keep him sharp. The titles on that page are Headtaker and the Dwarf-Smiter. It gives him no mount.
He is a melee duellist. Clanrats and Stormvermin fix the enemy before he goes after a character. Taking Karak Eight Peaks grants Frenzy to those two infantry units, so the hold is a campaign objective, not a start asserted here. Headtaker is David Guymer's novel, and Belegar Ironhammer is the dwarf lord in that Eight Peaks war. The lore page follows the roster, the dwarf article's siege, and the books.
