About
Unit Description
What cannot be solved with poisons and subterfuge from afar, is dealt with up close with twin blades of death.
Historical Description
Skaven Assassins are the pinnacle of Clan Eshin warriors, elite killers in a class of their own. The few who know of the existence of the black-clad Assassins fear them above all others. Rumours of their cut-throat abilities are whispered in fear: the Clan Eshin devils are invisible and their very shadows are poisonous. The art of sabotage, arson, and poison all form part of an Assassin's deadly bag of tricks. Many Assassins-in-training are lost as the regimen is gruelling. The final tests are death missions assigned by Clan Eshin's ruling council, presided over by Lord Sneek, the leader of the clan and one of the Lords of Decay. After surviving such actions, an Assassin is considered an acknowledged master in the methodology of murder.
Abilities
Assassin's Trophy
It should be no great surprise that those already adept in the art of silent death continue to improve with time and practice.
Concealment Bombs
When a bomb is smashed, a dark smoke curls out, concealing those who wish to hide and choking everyone else.
Scurry Away!
He who runs away lives to fight another day! - so the foul, craven adage goes.
Slippery
Those who are "slippery" cannot be cornered or pinned - they simply "slip" away…
Attributes
Encourage
This unit provides a leadership bonus to nearby allies. Units within range of both the 
Lord's aura and an encouraging unit will receive the larger of the two bonuses.
Guerilla Deployment
Stalk
This unit can move hidden in any terrain.
Strider
This unit ignores speed and combat penalties caused by terrain and can move through trees.
Strengths & Weaknesses
Dodge
This highly dexterous unit dodges blades and missiles with ease; its luck is known to run out quickly when facing magical weapons, however.
Duellist
This unit is best used to attack individual targets such as Lords or 
Heroes. As it can only damage very few individuals at a time, it is not suitable against hordes of weak enemies.
Stalk
This unit can move hidden in any terrain.
Vanguard Deployment
This unit can deploy in an expanded deployment area, allowing it to start the battle within striking distance of the enemy - or somewhere unexpected.
