Themed Skaven army lists: Spitclaws hired assassins

For this weeks 1000pts themed army list i wanted to make a list that included Spiteclaws swarm. I was really surprised to see the unit in the new battletome and spiteclaw himself is a hero choice that automaticly comes with the four other members of the swarm. With Spiteclaw and his swarm as the leader choice i thought about how different clans sell their services and who better than Clan Eshin!

Themed Skaven army lists: Clan Eshin

So i was going through the new Skaven army battletome and was looking at the pitched battle profiles (points). Now im not fully update date on what the strongest to take for the Skaven so i thought about making some army lists that have a theme or a story to them. They probably wont the most competitive army lists but that's not what these lists are for. Most of these lists will be 1000 points and will have more of a creative feel than a competitive feel.

This weeks army list based on Clan Eshin. Whats the problem with creating a Clan Eshin list?
They only have 3 units! Deathmaster, Gutter runners and Night runners. Thats it! If you wanted a 100% pure Eshin list then a Deathmaster, 60 Gutter runners and 40 Night runners. Sounds a bit boring from a creative perspective dosnt it?

Rules preview from the new Skaven battletome

Over on the warhammer community site they gave us a preview of some of the new rules from the upcoming Skaven battetome. the new rules range from allegiance abilities to new spells. They also gave us some new artwork from the book which is absolutely gorgeous! It gets you well pumped for the new book!

Run Gutter runners RUN!!!!

The Skaven warband almost has its two gutter runners almost finished.

I hated painting the black. The abbadon black paint had an almost had a gloss finish on it and ii couldn't paint the robes grey because the wall pieces on the base would be grey.
So what i had to do was put a nuln oil wash over the black parts to take the gloss of. Then i dry brushed dawnstone grey mostly all over but more prominently on the edges.

RISE CLAN ESHIN!!!

This is Clan Eshin warband project in the making now for only god hows long! But i finally started making the models based on the list i made in a previous post.
