This is a challenge. Behold my first attempt of making a 7th Eshin-themed list. Skaven 7th Clan Eshin List "The Night Crusade" Warlord Cheiftain BSB, StormBanner, shield, TailBlade Assassin Warpstone Stars Assassin Warlock-augmented Blade Lord and heroes: 655pts. -50 <- to be reconsidered. 10 Nightrunners w/Warp-grinder 10 Nightrunners w/Slings 10 Nightrunners 10 Nightrunners 10 Nightrunners 25 Clanrats, m,b 25 Clanrats, ch,m,b Ratling Gun 25 Clanrats, ch,m,b Warpfire Thrower 21 Slaves, m 21 Slaves, m Core: 995pts. 9 Gutterrunners w/slings, ch, Poison, slings 5 Gutterrunners w/Warpgrinder, Poison 6 Globadiers, ch, Deathglobe 9 Jezzails, Sharpshooter Special: 599pts. Total 2249pts. Models 200 In the middle the Clanrats, slaves etc. diversion moves ahead. Nightrunners spread out at flanks. Either flanking or being charged, thus exposing enemy flanks Tunnellers, GutterRunners and Assassins pops in and up. Doing their thing. Globadiers and jezzails moving into position for Banner to exhaust. Ratling gun most likely covering back of clanrats, while WFT lurks for an oppertunity to spread joy A lot of tactic details depend on opponent. Race, units, etc. Mutations in red |

Umm, Warlords can't carry scrolls ![]() You'll need an Engineer caddy, a level 1 with 2 scrolls and a musket is a passable sniper Hero for fairly cheap. If you're going for the Eshin theme, the Warlord and Assassins fit in just fine. Stick him with Stormvermin to give you a pretty nasty anvil unit (consider its cost anyway). Somebody had the neat idea of giving him a Rat Ogre mount and counting it as a Triad. Back that up with Clanrats, add weapon teams for some punch, exploding Slaves, and go for Nights and Gutter Runners popping up everywhere. |

Always figured that myself but ......... is it in the BRB? As Dispel Scrolls are Common Magic Items, I suddenly thought: "Why not?" But admitted. Last night I only checked the Armybook. And fluffwise it is definately questionable, but what if such scrolls are bought "ready to use"? Just add fresh slaveblood or something like that. |

Yeah no scroll for the lord as it is an arcane item and only wizards can take arcane items, pg 121 of the BRB under arcane items. If you want some thing for the warlord take a warlitter as unlike the bonebreaker the warlitter is made up of skaven. I would love to see an Eshin conversion as i think it would be cool. Also combine one of the night runner units with the warpgrinder unit as a 10 man unit is to fragile to do anything but warmachine hunting. This may seem like a pointless tip but wait till you charge the rear of a unit with them and break them with static res and a rear charge. I did this with a 15 rat unit vs a 25 man swordsman unit with wizard and forced it to flee into my lines, it was priceless. [size0]Right. Arcane was the key word, I missed.~Morgoth |
