Would skaven ever deal with other races? Im was wondering if I could get away with using a dark elf assasin, as i want to paint him, but i dont have time to paint non-skaven at the moment. ![]() Thoughts? Slap on the wrist for being silly? |

Skaven deal with other races all the time, often keeping their true identity secret and ultimately betraying anyone foolish enough to trust them .I'm not sure how fluff-wise you could squeeze a Dark Elf assassin into your army, but it's do-able, so long as they don't deploy hidden in a unit. That might be a step too far in believabilty. Ratarsed |

I have to say it would seem a bit of a stretch fluff-wise. Dark Elves have a fairly massive superiority complex. Now of course, maybe it's some trick of magic such that the Dark Elf Assassin actually is a Skaven Assassin, he just doesn't look like one at the moment. |

Shennanigans are out of the question!

I say if the base size is right, do what you like. It probably isn't appropriate, but who cares... paint the model you like! |

If you face Elves, it could be cool. Sneaking up on the targets before they notice his big nose and hairy, clawed feet. :rolleyes: You state, that you have no time to paint non-skaven? Then why not use a Skaven Assassin?
