Skaven – Night Runners
7" 1 6+ 1 Night Runners are the lowliest acolytes of the Eshin and are seen as an entirely disposable asset. Often their fate is to be hurled into the enemy's path and provide a distraction with their messy deaths, allowing more adroit killers to carry out their subtle missions amongst the mayhem. Still, disposable as they are, Night Runners are trained and equipped to a level beyond their equivalents in the other Great Clans. | ||
