Apprentice Packmasters

Due to the sudden explosion in demand for both Moulder monsters and Packmasters to accompany them, the lords of Hellpit have seen fit to start offering the services of entire classes of Packmaster fledglings. While still only partially skilled in beast handling, Packmaster Apprentices offer a unique niche to the skaven roster.

The unit these would be most comparable to would be the WOC Aspiring Champions. Apprentice Packmasters are NOT elite fighters meant to hold the line alone or cut through hordes of chaff units. They are best used to support groups of infantry and Moulder monsters.

While not as strong in combat as an actual Packmaster, a group of apprentices maintain a (somewhat) sturdy position to hold a skaven pack together. Armed with Things-Catchers, they have a decent anti-large bonus. Equipped with knowledge on how to handle ornery beasts, let alone lowly slaves and Clanrats, Apprentice Packmasters come with the "encourage" attribute, providing leadership to all nearby allied units, a skill invaluable in any Skaven army. Additionally, they come with whips, which they are all too eager to use to passively spur any nearby Moulder monsters into a frenzy, buffing several of their combat stats, albeit at the risk of rampaging.

They are recruitable at the monster building chain at T2, allowing for quick access to extra support on the frontline. They can be mutated in Throt's Flesh Laboratory in the infantry section. They are upgraded with the technology 'best of the best', and lord skills 'pack leader' and 'mutagenic elixers'.

This mod should be compatible with anything, though text discrepancies may occur with other mods that affect the same skills/technologies as this one (effects should still properly activate).
