So option #1 or #2 for you, Killax? #1 does list "An individual...". Also, my yeah is a yeah, I hear you, but this is what I think - not an in toto agreement. I clearly stated in the complete sentence that I don't believe that it is one solitary person out there.
You can take the abstractions of the game to create your own personal story.
Trevor
Both to be honest Trevor! I feel we have some Warlords who are a couple of guys and I feel we have some Warlords who are a single individuals.
To be a bit more clear:
Straken: Him + Squad to lead and inspire
Coteaz: Him by himself
Cato: Him + Squad
Ragnar: Him + Tank
Shadowsun: Her + Squad (that can also become a support squad)
Aun'shi: Him by himself
Eldorath: Him by himself
Baharroth: Him by himself
Kith: Her + Squad (that is able to attack apart from Kith)
Urien: Him by himself
Zarathur: Him by himself
Ku'gath: Him + some Nurglings (can't really call it a squad)
Nazdreg: Him by himself
Zogwort: Him + Squad (that is able to attack apart from Zogwort)
The above is mainly based on art, 40K rules and fluff (mainly fluff).
But I fully agree anyone can see them as they please. There is no right or wrong in this case just some personal opinions and knowledge about the miniature game aswell.
