Editing Warhammer Army Project/Skaven (section)

===Special Units===
* '''Gutter Runners: (Clan Eshin)''' A decent choice for Warmachine hunting as they are placed anywhere on the board with Scout, Ambushers, or a Warp-Grinder. Slings, poisoned weapons, Night goblin nets that lower enemy attacks are decent investments but you might want to skip on the champion to save points if you only plan shooting. If your worried about them not showing up you can run with 2 squads of 6 or 7 but they can get expensive in the special slot that can get loaded up with points quickly.
** '''Alternate Suggestion:''' Flanking squads of 10 units with poison and slings can melt any light-armored army. 20 shots per unit will shred most things. They're lethal against DoC, other Skaven, all flavors of Elves, you name it.

* '''Plague Censer Bearers: (Clan Pestilens)''' At first glance, expensive for what they are, but their plague censor special rule makes them useful for severely shrinking hordes down to size, and what's better is that they can be fielded in small groups as speed bumps or charge deterrents.

*'''Plague Rats: (Clan Pestilens)''' A slightly more expensive swarm of rats with poison, making them more dangerous when tarpiting lightly armour foe, especially monsters, guaranteed to wound on a 5+.

* '''Wolf Rats: (Clan Moulder)''' They're 6 points apiece for a War Beast that moves 8 inches and have Frenzy and Vanguard. Three upgrades are available, ranging from Poisoned Attacks to Armour Piercing and Magical Attacks to +1 Toughness (bringing them up to T4) at a cost of -1 Initiative (they are Initiative 4 base). Whether these guys are worth it or not depends on what slot they occupy; at Special has some good choices but they aren't a bad choice for their speed.

* '''Rat Ogres: (Clan Moulder)''' If hulk had a rodent counterpart: Seriously though In a unit of 6 with their masters they will rampage through anything they flank attack BUT they can be easily baited due to their fast movement of 6", Frenzy and Stupidity. Generally, a good investment particularly if they have slaves or clanrats holding a unit in place for them. They also can be upgraded further with improvement to control, attack, or durability.

* '''Poison Wind Globadiers: (Clan Skryre)''' Anyone they hit takes a wound on a 4+ with no saves. You want these. They also have a special rule that allows unengaged models to lob globes into the same combat the engaged models are fighting which can be funny as hell. Keep in mind that against elves and other T3s you will be wounding on 4+ with most of your units anyway, and PWG's range is disgusting. Night/Gutter runners with slings are more effective (and cheaper) against T3 unless the enemy is really armored.

* '''Warplock Jezzails: (Clan Skryre)''' Kind of a preference unit. Some people swear by them because their S6 -4 armor shots can make mincemeat of annoying heavy infantry. On the other side, they are expensive to field in any high number. To effectively shoot down a squad of 5 Chaos Knights with BS 3 and a 36-inch range means needing 5s and up for anything downrange. Not a bad unit but you really need to consider what role they will perform. These guys are easy to convert with some skaven shields and green stuff. The GW models are outdated and way too overpriced. You can make your own way cheaper and make them look way better.
