How about DoW?

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 :P

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.
