Skaven Specialists: Night Runners

Here's our final Specialist Skaven type. These lurking vermin are a tougher version of Gutter Runners. Basically, if a Gutter Runner is sneaky, lucky or nasty enough to rise through the ranks without being killed by enemies within and without they may become a Night Runner. Life as a Skaven is usually short and brutal so ruthlessness and cunning are an integral part of survival in Skaven society.

Night Runners also get +1 for the Surprise Roll and they are crazy fast. They are more adept at combat and the use of ballistic weapons.
   
The original Citadel code was C47 Skaven and his original name was Ashish The Black. Like the rest of the C47 models they appeared around 1986.

Thank you Raynor. I played the game with a friend on Friday (it was his 1st game) he loved the game and couldn't wait to play it again.

Skaven Characters: Clan Mors Warlord

Here's our first Skaven Character type. Once a Skaven Character is killed they are out of the game. However you do get tokens in the game to let your Character escape. Or let the Character arrive earlier than the final Quest room. Personally I prefer keeping the Character until the final Quest Room which feels more thematic to me.
   
The Clan Mors Warlord is carrying a Magical Runesword which adds a massive +2 Weapon Skill and +2 Strength. This means the Clan Mors Warlord has Weapon Skill 10 and Strength 9. He is an awesome fighter and is also hard to kill (wearing Chain Armour) with Toughness 8 and 4 Wounds. IF the Heroes manage to take him down they can loot his Runesword which even a Wizard can use!

The original Citadel code was C47 Skaven and his original name was Packlord. Like the rest of the C47 models they appeared around 1985.

It's never enough. If only I had more time.

Skaven Characters: Clan Eshin Assassin

   

The Skaven Assassin is more persistant than a mother-in-law and death is as certain as tax when this master assassin has you marked. His close and ranged combat skills are crazy high. Plus a high Toughness and Wounds make him hard to kill. Good luck trying to outrun him too as he's one of the fastest Skaven in the game. Basically, a verminous nightmare of teeth, claws and unseen blades.

The original Citadel code was C47 Skaven and his original name was Nightrunner. Like the rest of the C47 models they appeared around 1985. I really like this sculpt. He's definitely got a Jack The Ripper vibe going on.

Skaven Characters: Clan Pestilens Plague Monk

   

The Plague Monk is carrying a Warp Scroll which can spell death to ALL Heroes or Henchmen who fail an Intelligence roll. If they don't have a Fate Point they experience several hundred years of time in a few moments and rapidly age, die and rot to a skeleton. It is a sorry end for any Hero indeed. It doesn't even need line of sight to hit. This is one ratty who needs exterminating as quickly as possible.

The original Citadel code was C47 Skaven and his original name was Wyrde Banebreath. Like the rest of the C47 models they appeared around 1986. This sculpt is particularly disgusting with pus boils and burst pus boils all over him.
