Would love to know your thoughts on my Eshin list. I'm fairly new to AOS so I want to make sure i'm getting the rules right:
1. Am i allowed to make my general a leader from allied units?
2. Do all the allies have to come from the same faction or can i use units from any allies available to fill the 400 points? i.e. skryre and masterclan
3. Is there any benefit to making this list Eshin instead of Order Chaos?

1. Your general may not be an ally ('Army Roster', page 49 of the General's Handbook)
2. Only one out of every four units can be an allied unit ('Allies', page 242 of the Core Rulebook)
3. At 2,000 points in a Matched play game, you may only spend up to 400 points on allied units ('Allied Units', page 310 of the Core Rulebook).

thank you!

That being said, should I just run this list as order chaos or are there any negatives to that?

Your night & gutter runners won't be battleline. Also as an FYI, gutter runners are better than night runners for their points. An Eshin list will be stronger just from running gutter runners than it will using night runners, but night runners aren't actually bad so if you want to run them for fun/theme go right ahead.

What does battle line do for eshin? Sorry I'm very new to AOS.

I'll definitely consider more gutter runners than night runners. Thanks!

Battleline is just your general "troops" for your army. You're required to have at least 3 units of battleline at 2000 points though. So in the case of Clan Eshin that would mean at 2000 points you would need 3 units of 10 night/gutter runners minimum.

I do very much second the inclusion of gutter runners more than night runners too from a power standpoint. Night runners are great fun but just not as good.

Okay I've made some revisions but I think I like this list most. It's now mostly a Skaven mix. Let me know what you think! I'm still very new to Age of Sigmar so please let me know if you see any problems.
