Spinetail
Spinetail is a Skaven Chieftain of Clan Klaw. [1a][2a]
History
As a Chieftain, he contented for the leadership of the Clan with his arch rival Verminkin plunging the clan into a vicious civil war. [1a][2a]
He was approached by the Warlock Engineer, Ratchitt who promised Spinetail the chance to ambush and kill Verminkin while he was fighting High Elves on the Island of Blood as they sought the Pheonix Stone. As the battle reached its climax ona stone bridge he finally confronted Verminkin only to see him cut down be a shot from Ratchitt’s warplock pistol. Verminkin fell from the bridge and into the sea below, leaving Spinetail in command of the entire Skaven army. [2a]
Not long after, Spinetail urged Ratchitt to cut down the High Elf prince with his pistol, but Ratchitt instead turned it on Spinetail but at this vital moment his pistol malfunctioned, leaving Spinetail unharmed and forcing Ratchitt to flee. Spinetail ordered his red-armoured Stormvermin bodyguard to cut down Althran, but a group of unearthly figures emerged from the gates of the temple and at their head was the mage Caldris. [2a]
Caladris unleashed a tide of cerulean fire to engulf the Skaven horde. [2a]
