===Unofficial Army Lists===
====Clan Eshin====
Glass Cannon time. You don't got the numbers compared to a typical skaven force, and your mainstay unit are skirmishers, so you want to outflank and hit-and-run as much as possible. Give your Gutter Runners Poisoned Attacks, because you need every advantage you can eke out with this bunch.
=====Clan Eshin Lords=====
* '''Grey Seer:'''
* '''Master Assassin:''' Though he costs 215 points base, this guy's a fucking ''mincing machine'' by skaven standards! 4 Attacks at Initiative '''10''' (no, that's not a misprint!) with Weapon Skill 8, ''and'' the Poisoned Attacks special rule on top? This guy will make enemy characters ''dead'' really quickly. He comes with Two Hand Weapons and Throwing Stars by default, can take Smoke Bombs for +20 points and up to 100 points of magical gear, and he has the special rules Poisoned Attacks, Scout, Hidden, and Hidden Leadership, which means he gives his Leadership 8 to all Night Runners and Gutter Runners within 12" even when Hidden.

=====Clan Eshin Heroes=====
* '''Chieftain:'''
* '''Assassin:'''
* '''Eshin Sorcerer:''' This guy's basically a 75 point Level 1 [[Wizard]] who only knows Skitterleap. He does have WS 4, BS 4, and I5, but he only gets 1 Attack. Can take Smoke Bombs for +20 points and 50 points of magical items. He has the Poisoned Attacks and Scout special rules, and is armed with 2 Hand Weapons and Throwing Stars.

=====Clan Eshin Core=====
* '''Night Runners:''' These are your '''Mainstay Unit'''.

====Clan Skryre====
This is a Shooting Army. Your need for Clanrats as a Mainstay Unit gives you a solid melee block a the center of your army, but their job is to hold the enemy in place so your jezzails, globadiers and warp-lightning cannons can blow them away with one of the biggest barrages of firepower in 6e this side of a Dwarf army. Remember that, as a Skaven player, you have the unique ability to shoot into units that are engaged in melee combat, and ''take advantage''!
