Had my first run out with the eshin list last night, playing a couple of 750 point games. my list assassin - weeping blade sorcerer - 2 x warpstone tokens 3 x 10 NR - xhw, TS 5 GR - poison everything 2 rat swarms game 1 vs orcs hero with 1+ AS shaman lvl 2 20 orcs xhw 16 big uns 8 boar boys -f/c I got first turn skitter leaped assassin into mage- dead mage subseqeunt turns involved gutter runners and assassins running laps around the boar boyz and shooting to thin the numbers down. last turn his general charges and dispatchs a NR unit, the GR charge the boar boyz (now only 4 left), the assassin, swarm and NR charge the big uns GR lose but make break test on 4, the big uns lose and make break test on 4. His last tunrn - boar boys kill remaining 2 gutter runners, swarm/assassin/nr butcher the big uns - win combat by 10 - they break (obviously) +1 standard for me, remaining boar boy panics and is lost for the game. overall SV to the rats Game 2 vs VC Lahmian vamp 2 x lvl1 necro 2 x 16 skellies 16 zombies 10 ghouls with champ. I got first turn again skitter leap assassin into thrall (thinking it was the general - doh!) one dead thrall next turn assassin charges the actual general (checking with opponent this time ) one dead general - undead begin to crumble (my opponent was really unlucky with his rolls he rolled double sixes twice for 2 of his units) I didn't actually need to kill them- they just fell apart. Swarms charge other necro and hold him up for 2 turns until assassin arrives to do some damage.Ghouls charge swarms and eventually kill them NR charge ghoul unit, gutter runners fail fear test, NR unsuprisingly get butchered (despite hitting first with 20 attacks!, they only killed 1, in return he rolled 5 poisoned wounds to start with). overall I lost 190 points my opponent lost 970 (those +100 points for each character killed is a treat). massacre to me my impressions are that this list is fun to play, the low leadership is going to make it tough vs fear and terror causes. Also T3 for the NR with no armour means that they'll be easy to kill. anyone was fun to play though! |

Congrats, yea the NRs really aren't going to do much damage against any well armored or in general "good units" I'd just givem stars or slings and just piss off the enemy from long distance. Let them try and charge you and either fail or have you retriet the skaven way! Those who turn and run away live to fight another day.

Congrats! You did well, and it seems your opponents had some troubles with dispel attempts. |
