Here's my first army for Skaven, Clan Eshin (from the realm of Ulgu) but with a Masterclan General, because we can!

200 Screaming Bell (general, master of magic trait)
300 Verminlord Deceiver
100 Deathmaster with fighting claws (dimensional blade; Ulgu relic)
100 Deathmaster with weeping blades (warpweeper stars)
800 4x20 Gutter Runners
160 2x10 Night Runners
160 Slinktalon battalion
40 Vermintide endless spell
40 Bell of Doom endless spell
40 Geminids endless spell
40 Aethervoid Pendulum endless spell

I am eager to try out the sneaky tricks with these guys. I really like the movement options, outflanking or teleporting or skitterleaping. Also if there's some other alpha strike deepstrike army (like Stormcast, ugh how I got Stormcasted last weekend!) the Gutter Runners can all be off the table, if needed to survive. A good chance of choosing to go first with only 4 drops. Enemy heroes will not be safe with this army!

Not sure about the best traits and relics for my current collection of Eshin, but I think many can do well. Once I get my other Verminlord I could try 2 Deceivers, with one as general. They can get some great traits, like flying and then a relic, or striking before anyone else and the thermalrider cloak to still fly; that would let both Deceivers strike before anybody on my turn. I also like the trait where he couldn't be seen by enemies more than 6" away if he's within 1" of a piece of terrain (good with Ignax scales in case of Sylvaneth woods or that $*%&*^% Stormcast hornblower guy). Though Ulgu is fluffier to Eshin I think.

Any other fans of Clan Eshin out there?

hell yeah eshin

I really wish I could ally some sort of models that could look like ninja turtles for the all-Splinter clan
