Well I've been working on this one for a couple days but it still needs some improvements, your feed back would be much appreciated! :lol:

Master Assasin - Dwarf Slayer + Warpstone Stars + Talisman of Protection (My friend plays Dwarves) / Warpstone Stars + either Gouger or if I can Blade of Black Fury + Smoke Bombs - 335 points (Is he a Scirmisher? ie would he work with UCOD?)

Eshin Triad + Smoke Bombs- 240 points

Eshin Triad + Smoke Bombs- 240 Points

8 Warp Lock Jezzailes - 160 Points

8 Warp Lock Jezzailes - 160 Points

10 Night Runners - 2hw + Night Leader - 80 points

10 Night Runners - 2hw + Stars + Night Leader - 100 points

10 Night Runners - 2hw + Slings + Night Leader - 120 Points

10 Gutter Runners - 2hw Poisoned + Slings + Black Skaven - 202 Points

2 Ratswarms - 90 Points

Which Leaves me with 273 Points..... I think I should have sorcerers but I'm not sure if They are also scirmishers and I would like to keep my UTCOD also I read the posts about PWGs and I wouldn't mind some of them if I can afford it. Another thing is whether it is worth it to upgrade ratswarms to plagued rat swarms.

UCoD works unless you have rank and file in your army.
In short, take some sorcerers.
Maybe another assassin?
Always take sorcerers though. Don't like that huge dwarf lord?
Take a Master Assassin. Give it a FellBlade. Give it Talisman of Protection.
Go kill that stupid midget.
No offense to anyone who is short.

No ranked units.
That means it MUST say Skrimisher in the unit description, or be a character.
Simply put...you only get PWG, night runners, gutter runners, Jezzials, and rat swarms.
And characters.
Don't use Jezzials: With UCoD they are useless, without UCoD you are doomed.
And thats about it.

I like jezzails in the eshin list, on average they only lose 2 turns of shooting, so they should be alright.

As for PWGs, they are Rare in the eshin list, so you'd have to drop a triad. Not a bad idea against dwarfs.

As for night runners in hand to hand, well, it depends. Dwarfs will probably chew them up, but you might be able to use them as star slingers and annoy the hell out of him. :D
Go forth my brethren, that we shall nibble at the roots of the old world!

We are the rats in the shadows. We hold the blades of corruption, aimed at the very heart of the Old World. We are The Council of Thirteen.

Second place in the UnderEmpire painting competition!

Yea that might work, so UtcoD affects both you and the enemy.......... man that sux. I assumed that since you're skaven and you live underground you would be used to the lack of light and as such would be able to see while others would not. ;)

2 sorcerers would help alot. Take the dwarfslayer combo, depending on his list though (alot of ironbreakers go for the gouger) Other than that it is a pretty solid list. Congrats.
That pesky warmachine keeping you down, or is that combat monster destroying your army? NEVER FEAR... ESHIN IS HERE


Wherever there is injustice... I will be there... Wherever crime is going on unhindered... I will be... Oh screw it, cant anyone take the law into their own hands

Happy Hunting

Well speaking as they're dwarves, it shouldn't be too hard to avoid their charges of about 8 inches :rolleyes: .

Oh yeah and you cant have Warpstone stars and Gouger/blade of black fury/Dwarf slayer cos that would be 2 magic weapons.
