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. |
