Those whom influential skaven deem too dangerous to live often become the targets of a Deathmaster from the Clans Eshin. The poisoned ‘weeping blades’ of these supernaturally dexterous killers have slain kings and warlords beyond count.

A Deathmaster is armed with Eshin Throwing Stars and a Weeping Blade.
Hidden Killer: Deathmasters often hide amidst the ranks of skaven regiments.
When you select this unit to be part of your army, you can pick 1 friendly CLANRATS, STORMVERMIN or NIGHT RUNNERS unit that is already part of your army to be the unit in which this unit is hiding. Record this information on a separate piece of paper. Do not set up this unit until it is revealed as described next. You cannot hide more than 1 DEATHMASTER in the same unit.
At the start of a combat phase, if this unit is hidden, you can reveal it. In addition, if the unit in which this unit is hidden is destroyed, you must reveal this unit before the last model in the unit in which it is hidden is removed from play. When you reveal this unit, set it up wholly within 3" of the unit in which it was hidden. If this unit was revealed because the unit in which it was hidden was destroyed, this unit suffers 1 mortal wound after it is set up.
Eshin Toxins: Eshin weapons are coated in deadly poisons.
If the unmodified hit roll for an attack made by this unit is 6, the target suffers D3 mortal wounds and the attack sequence ends (do not make a wound roll or save roll).
If the unmodified hit roll for an attack made by this unit is 6, the target suffers D3 mortal wounds and the attack sequence ends (do not make a wound roll or save roll).
Running Death: Eshin warriors are trained in a unique fighting style that allows them to attack with incredible speed and dexterity.
This unit can run and still shoot later in the turn.

Hit Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or beats the attacking weapon’s To Hit characteristic, the attack scores a hit and you must make a wound roll. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. An unmodified hit roll of 1 always fails and an unmodified hit roll of 6 always hits. A hit roll cannot be modified by more than +1 or -1 (this is an exception to the principle that abilities take precedence over core rules).Sometimes an ability will allow a single hit roll to score two or more hits. If this is the case, make all of the wound and save rolls for those hits at the same time.

14.5 Mortal Wounds
Some attacks, spells and abilities cause mortal wounds. Do not make hit, wound or save rolls for mortal wounds. Instead, the damage inflicted on the target is equal to the number of mortal wounds that were caused.Mortal wounds caused while a unit is attacking are allocated at the same time as wounds caused by the unit’s attacks: after all of the unit’s attacks have been made. Mortal wounds caused at other times are allocated as soon as they are caused. Mortal wounds are allocated in the same way as wounds and are treated in the same manner as wounds for rules purposes.
Wound Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or beats the attacking weapon’s To Wound characteristic, the attack wounds the target and your opponent must make a save roll. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. An unmodified wound roll of 1 always fails and an unmodified wound roll of 6 always wounds. A wound roll cannot be modified by more than +1 or -1 (this is an exception to the principle that abilities take precedence over core rules).
Save Roll
Your opponent rolls a dice, modifying the roll by the attacking weapon’s Rend characteristic. If the roll equals or beats the target unit’s Save characteristic, the target is saved and the attack sequence ends. If not, the attack is successful and you must determine the damage that is inflicted on the target. An unmodified save roll of 1 always fails. A save roll cannot be modified by more than +1 (this is an exception to the principle that abilities take precedence over core rules).Designer’s Note: Save rolls do not always succeed on an unmodified roll of 6, and they can be modified by more than -1.
8.3 Run
When you pick a unit to run, you must make a run roll for the unit by rolling a dice. Add the run roll to the Move characteristic of all models in the unit until the end of that phase. You can then move each model in that unit a distance in inches equal to or less than their modified Move characteristic. No part of a run can be within 3" of an enemy unit. You cannot shoot or attempt a charge later in the turn with a unit that has run. Units cannot run if they are within 3" of an enemy unit.
