I was thinking about having a unit of 8 duelists with pistols in my Eshin list. I know that globadiers are better, but duelists are cheaper and better in cc.. Are there any other DoW that are skirmishers out there? |

It could defininitely work... but they really aren't very fluffy. This is Clan Eshin we're talking about... |

Mengil Manhide's Manflayers are skirmishers. They're DE with repeater crossbows and poisoned 2 handed weapons. They also have a magic banner that makes them harder to hit with missiles and special rules that grant you more VP for units they defeat. I am pretty sure you can find their rules on GW's website. A fluffy reason for using Duellists is to have them represent human agents of the Skaven, commonly knowm as cultists of the Horned Rat. |

You don't haave to make them look human They can be represented as runners with pistols, the only problem is their M4, too slow... |

I agree with them being slow but indeed... it could be worth trying

If appropriately modelled (black-clad skaven with RCBs and great swords), these would be a great, if expensive, addition to the eshin roster. Dark skaven from the far northwest ![]()
Give them crutches, peglegs and festoon them with bandages. Victims of outbreaks of "reliability" with their pistols

i've played them i like them. gives you some long range shooting. they are very high in points but will pay for them selves if played right. |
