Clan Mors Lords

Master Assassin

Skaven assassins are so adept at hiding in the shadows that many suspect magic at work. The final tests in their training are death missions assigned by Clan Eshin's ruling council, presided over by Lord Sneek, clan leader and one of the Lords of Decay. If he survives the mission, the Assassin is considered an acknowledged master of the arts. It is thanks to their fearsome reputation that the Council of Thirteen often employ Eshin Assassins in their day-to-day affairs. When the Skaven hordes march to war, they are sometimes accompanied by Clan Eshin's finest hiding amongst their numbers, posing as regular rank-and-file troopers until the moment is right, before casting off their disguises and leaping into position. Fighting with poisoned blades in each paw, an Assassin can unleash a murderous flurry of attacks more than capable of striking down an enemy leader. At other times, an Assassin will operate alone, working to wreak havoc behind enemy lines, setting timed bombs or using poisoned shurikens to slay targets of opportunity.

Abilities

• Looming Dread
  Rather paradoxically, afflicting an enemy with profound paranoia can cause them to drop their guard.
  Speed x 55%
  Melee Defence -24
  [[img:ui/Battle UI/ability_icons/resistance_missile.png]] Missile Resistance -20
• Concealment Bombs
  When a bomb is smashed, a dark smoke curls out, concealing those who wish to hide and choking everyone else.
• Scurry Away!
  "He who runs away lives to fight another day!" - so the foul, craven adage goes.
  Speed x 110%
• Wounds
  Even the greatest foes can be laid low with terrible injuries, and the greater the damage done, the less able they will be to effectively continue the fray.
  Speed x 90%
  Armour-Piercing Weapon Damage x 80%
  Base Weapon Damage x 80%
• Slippery
  Those who are "slippery" cannot be cornered or pinned - they simply "slip" away…
  Speed x 125%
  Melee Defence +24

Attributes

• Encourage
  This unit provides a leadership bonus to nearby allies. Units within range of both the Lord's aura and an encouraging unit will receive the larger of the two bonuses.
• Vanguard Deployment
  This unit can deploy outside the deployment zone.
• Fire Whilst Moving
  This unit can fire while on the move.
• Stalk
  This unit can move hidden in any terrain.
• Strider
  Speed and combat penalties caused by terrain are ignored by this unit.

Strengths & Weaknesses

• Vanguard Deployment
  This unit can deploy in an expanded deployment area, allowing it to start the battle within striking distance of the enemy - or somewhere unexpected.
• Duellist
  This unit is best used to attack individual targets such as Lords or Heroes. As it can only damage very few individuals at a time, it is not suitable against hordes of weak enemies.
• Master Ambusher
  This unit can move whilst hidden in any terrain, firing in any direction even whilst running!
• Dodge
  This highly dexterous unit dodges blades and missiles with ease; its luck is known to run out quickly when facing magical weapons, however.
