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. :P
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 Dev .

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.

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:

:huh: You state, that you have no time to paint non-skaven? Then why not use a Skaven Assassin?
