Night Runner
Night Runners are Skaven that make up the bulk of Clans Eshin.[1][2a][2b]
Promotion
Night Runners are notorious for their low survivability of their troops which is done intentionally by the Eshin to ensure that only the worthy will make it to the ranks of Gutter Runners.[3]
Combat
In battle Night Runners scurry ahead of the main army, slinking around enemy flanks and encircle their rear before striking the enemy in their vulnerable spots, harassing them and slowing them down. Night Runners hurl volleys of throwing stars and sling-stones and then falls upon the panicked enemies with fangs and flashing blades. If the initial attack does not overrun their enemies fast enough the Night Runners will scurry away to strike again from another angle.[1][2a][2b]
Wargear
Night Runners carry a variety of Eshin Throwing Weapons, like Throwing Stars and Slings, to hurl in rapid volleys. For close quarters they carry Stabbing Blades.[1][2a][2b]
