Lore & Background
His forces are known for their unpredictable warpstone-powered artillery and hordes of chittering Skaven, striking fear into the hearts of their enemies.

His loyalty is absolute to the Great Horned Rat, viewing every battle as an offering of warpstone and blood to their dark god.
In Their Own Story
The air above the battlefield tasted of sulfur and old iron as Ikit Claw surveyed his domain from atop the siege tower. Below, the legions of Stormcast Eternals formed up against the dark tide, their aegis shields gleaming under the pale sun. He raised a gauntleted hand, signaling the release of the fire-pots. The sky burned with orange trails as the projectiles rained down, shattering stone and steel alike. 'The forge demands fuel,' he whispered to his lieutenants, watching the enemy lines buckle beneath the weight of the Dark Forge's wrath.

He does not possess magical powers like a sorcerer but relies on superior technology and brute force. Defining moments in his lore revolve around successful sieges and the expansion of Dark Forge territories. His arc reflects the broader struggle of Chaos Dwarfs to reclaim their lost glory through domination.
