Skaven gutter runners are skaven night runners of Clan Eshin that have undergone training in a mysterious fighting style developed in the Far East. Because of their ability to bend and contort their pliable bodies with a speed and dexterity unachievable by man, gutter runners have no need for encumbering armour—they simply dodge the blows and missiles of their foes. Specialising in night raids, arson attacks, and poisoning supplies, gutter runners will simply appear from nowhere and cause maximum disruption from the shadows. Occasionally, when a warlord requires the taking of live captives, gutter runners will use sinister hooked snare-nets against the enemy.

gollark: Photonic ML hardware is apparently beginning to exist and is very efficient, so that could help in a few years.
gollark: There is apparently work on accursed optics things for the displays, and batteries... are harder, but maybe minimising power use with more efficient hardware can be done.
gollark: Enough minor conveniences stacked together gives a useful product. And you can fit smartphone SoCs into slightly bulky glasses - there are already AR devkits doing this. The main limitation is that the displays aren't very good and it is hard to fit sufficient batteries.
gollark: Also, you could sort of gain extra senses of some possible value by mapping things like LIDAR output (AR glasses will probably have something like that for object recognition) and the local wireless environment onto the display.
gollark: Oh, and there's the obvious probably-leading-to-terrible-consequences thing of being able to conveniently see the social media profiles of anyone you meet.
