As a massive Rat Ogre, the original Boneripper was a completely (more or less) organic being. He was a three-armed monster, one arm bearing a sword, the other a firearm, and the final limb ending in a set of fearsome claws. The head of the beast was skeletal with fearsome red eyes, feeding into a shaggy mane of fur.

Thanquol finally figured out the purpose of this expedition. Ikit Claw wanted to go to Karak Angkul to receive the powerful metal alloy created by Klarak Bronzehammer. With it, his machine can handle the enormous pressure used for its purpose as an atomic bomb. Convinced by Ikit, Thanquol lead an assault against Karak Angkul to retieve more of the precious metal and in exchange, Thanquol would be given riches for his aid in developing the weapon. [7k]

Where you can wiev all unical development.After nearly 20 years since he has last seen the hated duo, Gotrek and Felix, Thanquol has aged considerably during those years. A Skaven rarely lives longer than a decade but Thanquol in power and wealth once more despite his venerated age. For long years, despite all the rivals he had slain and the indignities he has avenged, there were only two left, and Thanquol knew that he would never rest easy until they are found and dead. And so did Thanquol searched for them for nearly 20 years, and for 20 years they had alluded him until the day they returned to the city of Altdorf. There, Thanquol procured the aid of Shadowfang and his elite force of Gutter Runners. Yet the duo managed to escape their clutches and disappeared once again. [11a] Soon they would pulverise the last of the Wormstone. Soon they would be ready to strike! Then none would dare defy the might and power of Grey Seer Thanquol! From the spires of Skavenblight to the lowest rat-burrow, all the Under-Empire would grovel before the fury of Thanquol!" He also ventured to the mancity of Miragliano in Tilea and won over all the furless burgomeisters to the Skaven cause by promising them power and eternal life. The witless fools had been only too willing to believe in his sorcery. Unfortunately, the burgomeisters had all mutated from the warpstone dust he had given them to consume, and they had been stoned to death by their fellow citizens. [12a]

Described as rabidly ambitious, and as inspired as he is delusional, the warpstone-addicted Thanquol is seen a loose cannon. Amongst other Grey Seers he is an object of envy and hatred, for his convoluted scheme bewilder his rivals at least until they come to improbable fruition or blow up in his face. So convinced is Thanquol of his own genius that he will shift blame for his failure to the first available victim, and then proceed to adapt his plan to account for and perhaps capitalise on its catastrophic failure. [1b] If that is the case, then my shame-rage is even greater, and therefore so will be your suffering. You will know agony-fear that no overdweller has ever endured, and yet by my magic you will heal to be tortured again-again, until you share all of my torture despair..." In "Grey Seer" geht es um eine alten Skaven Waffe, deren Warpstone Kern Unheil über Menschheit und Skavenwelt zugleich bringen kann. Unter den Straßen Altdorfs entbrennt ein Kampf zwischen den Dienern der Grauen Sehers, den Clans der Rattenwesen aus Unteraltdorf, menschlichen Diebesbanden und einem geheimnisvollen Beschützer der imperialen Hauptstadt. The Rat Ogre Boneripper, servant of Grey Seer Thanquol, after his enhancement and transformation into a Stormfiend by the tinker-ratmen of Clan Skryre. Nach den zuletzt wieder entäuschenden Gotrek & Felix Romanen (Elf Slayer & Shaman Slayer), verdankt es ihr Dauer-Rivale Thanquol einem der wohl fähigsten Warhammer Autoren, nun selbst zur Hauptfigur eines Romans aufzusteigen.

However, during the assault, Grey Seer Skraekual disappeared from sight. Worst still, Klarak Bronzehammer knew of the Grey Seer's infamy and led a counter-assault against him. Fortunately, thanks to the blessings of the Horned Rat, Thanquol survived the encounter when the mineshaft collapsed just as the Engineer aimed his pistol at him. Brushing dust from his robes, Thanquol stalked the tunnel after Skraekual alongside his new bodyguard Boneripper. [7i] With Gotrek and Felix prisoners aboard his submersible, Thanquol planned to torture them to death in recompense for all they had done to him, but became distracted after a High Elf prisoner mentioned that they were trying to recover a Dark Elf weapon known as the 'Harp of Ruin'. Hungering to claim the Harp for himself and regain his prestige, Thanquol decided to release the duo into the path of the Druchii, hoping that they would cause enough destruction that Thanquol's forces could seize the Harp in the chaos. Thanquol's agents did succeed in stealing the Harp, but it was destroyed by Gotrek soon after and the Slayer came incredibly close to killing Thanquol himself; though the Grey Seer survived and fled once again, he lost his right hand to Gotrek's axe. Boneripper 8 - 12 - The cause of death of these incarnations of Boneripper are unknown. It can be assumed that all Bonerippers after the 7th are now non-canon, since they existed in the alternate Storm of Chaos timeline. Boneripper 7 - Boneripper 7 was the re-animated body of the first Boneripper. This resurrection was made possible by Clan Skyre's combined use of sorcery and their warpstone-derived technology. Boneripper 7 was gifted to Thanquol in the novel Thanquol's Doom. Despite suffering heavy damage, the seventh Boneripper is still up and running. Brother Skavens! Consider this... Until the coming of Vermek Skab, the Council of Thirteen placed me in command of this army. Since Vermek Skab is sadly no longer with us, the leaders place in the rear must still fall to me by edict of the Council. Of course, if any of you wishes to challenge the Council's ruling I will notify them of this at once."

Boneripper 3- The third Boneripper met his end at the hands of the Dwarf Snorri Nosebiter, an old friend of Gotrek Gurnisson, in the novel Dragonslayer. Though he was disgraced for his actions, he nevertheless proved all the more cunning by crippling the immensely powerful city of Under-Altdorf, a rival Skaven city that is as dangerously powerful as Skavenblight itself. [5l] Though he was once more condemned as a scapegoat by his masters, he was still instrumental in a successful expedition towards the lush jungle-continent of Lustria, where he personally saw the total annihilation of the infamous Temple-City of Quetza, which led to the death of a Prophet of Sotek. [6l] But probably the greatest triumph the Grey Seer has ever known was unwittingly partaking in a magnificent ritual that resulted in the summoning the mightiest Bloodthirster to have ever lived, Skarbrand, within the great Dwarf hold of Karak Angkul. [5a]

The mirroring of the two stories is really brought to light by one fact: the qualities that we find reprehensible in the human world are the attributes that make a Skaven attain power and status in the society of the Underdark. It is Werner's depiction of Skaven society that really helps make Grey Seer shine. Thanquol's story is, simply put, hilarious. Were he a human, he would be a completely unlikable character. As he is a Skaven, one can't help but like him. He embodies all the foul and terrible attributes a Skaven should; he is deceitful, he is cowardly, and above all, he is out for himself above anything. For the story, this is a great thing, as it turns Thanquol into a delightful character to read about. Like all Rat Ogres, Boneripper was covered in all manner of stitches and sutures which held the beast together. Loyal and more-or-less obedient to Thanquol, Boneripper seeks the approval of his master even if the Grey Seer is often verbally abusive and more than willing to put his well-being before the Rat Ogre's own. [2b] Paul: The Verminlord Warpseer has long been a mainstay of skaven lists. With all the new uses for command points, The Great Manipulators ability really shines, giving you more command points to use across your entire army.

Verminlords of all 4 types. Acting as generic lords to Thanquol since we already have Grey Seers as a lord option. Not too long after the second assassination, another Clan Eshin assassin leapt from the shadow and began to kill off the Humans within the building. Three sharp metal discs were flung at Thanquol, but the body of his Stormvermin bodyguard caught it just in time. Relief came when Skrim Gnawtails clanrats came in to aid the Grey Seer along with his bodyguard Boneripper. The Assassin fled the scene, knowing that he had no chance against their combined might. Skarpaw and the human informant's bodyguards began their chase for the assassin, but failed in the attempt. [5e] Tonight is the night you have all been waiting for! Tonight we will smash-crush the humans once and for all. Tonight we will invade the city and enslave all the occupants. Tonight we will strike a blow for the Under-Empire and the Skaven nation that will long be remembered!" Grey Seer Thanquol is without a doubt (in his mind) the greatest nemesis of the Slayer, Gotrek Gurnisson and his companion Felix Jaeger. He, and his stalwart Rat Ogre bodyguard, Boneripper, have engaged in innumerable nefarious schemes and adventures across the World-That-Was, including… CL Werner's Grey Seer provides a much needed look into Skaven society and the threat it poses to the humans of the Empire. Grey Seer Thanquol is an interesting character that you immediately like for all the wrong--but in this case entirely right--reasons and his plots and plans throughout the narrative are really engaging. Werner's prose is excellent and moves the plot along at a swift pace, setting the human and skaven worlds as really nice mirrors of each other. A fantastic fantasy effort that should only be missed by those that absolutely hate rats.Grey Seer Thanquol, confronting his arch-nemesis Gotrek and Felix after 20 long years to only find out they don't recognize him. [11d] Magic-rich Skaventide forces can make the most of endless spells with easy access to a wide variety of Wizards. The skaven-exclusive Warp Lightning Vortex is still as formidable as ever. Lumbering, witless flea-food! Kill that filthy beast, you brainless oaf-thing! Kill-kill! Kill-kill!"
