I am new to the Warhammer world. I played Mark of Chaos though, and that inspired me to try out the table top. Humans are much better then AI. I played the Skaven ALOT, and absolutly love their style. Espestially the Eshin Clan. I was just wondering what a good start for a 1,500 point Eshin army would be. What hero's to field, what core units, and what special or rare units I should look to buy to make a force that can sacrafice the weak and let the strong push forward to victory. Any info would be great. Thanks alot.

The first thing you need for an all eshin army is the Skaven armybook.

Then, you'll need to find the now Out of production Storm of chaos book... or find the SoC Eshin list somewhere online.

(Youll also need the main rule book but I assume you have it already)

Seeing as your planning for 1500, and you can only have Lord choices starting at 2000 points, then you'll need either a cheiftan or an eshin scorcerer to be your general.

Units of Night Runners are compulsary, and they let you benefit from the Under cover of Darkness rule (explained on the SoC eshin list)

People like to put Warplock Jeezials and Poisoned Wind Globadiers in their army, despite the fact they are both Skryre units.

Gutter Runners are like more dangerous Night Runners in fantasy, so take them too.

and then we reach another Eshin only thing. The eshin triad, an elite team of three assassins (no magic items though) that are good at taking out small units, Light calvary and characters.

Try and get a 2000 point list eventually, then you can get the Master Assassin.

Perfect that is exactly what I needed to know. I think I will go for 2,000 points then. I will be fighting dark elves with my friend who has just started collecting. Looking forward to the battles, and the large amount of time it is going to take to assemble and paint this horde of furred beautys. Thanks alot.

Welcome to the dark side :ph43r:

This is not a rule-question.
Therefore moved to general Eshin forum.

BTW, an assassin is a hero-level charatter too. Although he can't be general.
