Just want to know what do all the eshin commanders do with their assassin (including master assassin).
Do you hide them in a unit or just use their scout ability etc.

IMHO is that master assassin shouldnt be hidding, his LD is too important for me.
while other assassin I dunno, cos if you hid them, you can strike first in combat. On the other hand they can skitterleap in anyway, but those always strike first foe is a pain.

Since I'm here, just another question, can anything (ie. warpstone charm) make a reroll of UCoD? Dev

warpstone charm can only be used on rolls that directly effect the char holding it, so reroll hits,wound, as, miscast yada yada, unfortunatly you can't use it on your screaming bell when you roll triples. and no you can't use it on te UCOD rolll :(

In my normal Skaven Army I always hide assassins. My Gutter Runners are good enough as scouts, and hiding an assassin simply is more fun! Especially if you place the model besides the gaming table and watch your opponent frantically try to guess which unit he is in. :)

I must add that my assassins rarely achieve anything. I usually try to assassinate some character by using the Weeping Blade, but I have yet to succeed. The assassin almost always dies to the counterattack.

But watch out. Inspired by the article in the latest White Dwarf, I've dug up my old Deathmaster Snikch model. With 6 attacks, 3 weeping blades, strength 9 and a slightly revised paintjob he'll hopefully cause havoc in my next game. (At 515 points, he'd better.)

They gnaw their way through New York, London and Tokyo... within 5 million years, a whole range of new species replace the ones we know. Herds of giant grazing rats are stalked by sabre-toothed predatory rats. Given enough time, will a species of intelligent, cultivated rats emerge?"
