Night runners are the most common warriors of Clan Eshin, the skaven clan that specializes in stealth missions, such as espionage, sabotage, and (most commonly) assassinations. They are trained to move at speed, striking quickly to prepare the way for a larger skaven army. Common objectives for night runners are to seize key terrain, harassing and slowing down enemy troops, picking off war machine crews with slings and luring foes into ambushes. |
