Total War: Warhammer Skaven Lore Clan Eshin

[@dazmaz1269]

Who want's a stealth game where you play as an Eshin Assassin

[@gabrieltallent8080]

why not make him a class in some sort of inverse of vermintide

[@ShadeScarecrow]

Oh hell yea, that would be the best.

[@zero5496]

There’s this goblin stealth game called styx, if you don’t know already

[@medicineman152]

@@zero5496, that was my first thought, too. It even plays like you would expect a skaven stealth game to... it is near impossible to win an open duel. It's a game of sneak and slay or flee for the shadows.

[@fumarc4501]

Ever play Styx?

[@bonelord7746]

Damn, you called getting Snikch 2 years before we did. Love the lore of the Skaven. You have made them my favorite faction because of your videos, so thank you man-thing, yes-yes!

[@ZeriocTheTank]

I hated the Skaven at first. First of all I hate rats IRL, then in game they always annoyed me with their ability to amass a large amount of troops so quickly. However one day I learned about clan eshin & deathmaster snikch. So out of curiosity I gave the campaign a chance. I immediately fell in love with the playstyle. I had ways to breakdown walls in sieges, stalk units to steal key locations or flank & the skirmishing.....oh how I loved the skirmishing. Never had so much fun in a campaign before, and isolating mages, heroes & lords for snikch to assassinate was the cherry on top. Clan eshin 4 life!

[@BaranzarCobralVOD]

Well, a few years on and you got your wish clan Eshin is now a faction in total war Warhammer 2.

[@krakgame]

The rol of the clan Eshin inside Skaven society reminds me of the morag tong in morrowind

[@Veyoun]

And that's where we got Ink Eyes in Magic the Gathering from i guess ^^ YAY for Skaven as inspiration for all the Ninja Rats out there!

[@hanktrim4302]

Well done! I've been waiting to hear about the rat ninjas. :)

[@neon-lake]

If the eshin don't partake in theft, I'm gonna need a Skaven clan that specializes in it

[@arandomcomment7208]

They steal more than any one else

[@alpacaofthemountain8760]

Never knew that the Eshin were loyal...

[@akaroth7542]

Branding matters.

[@Dwarfurious]

Strange that Eshin Assassins were even able to kill leadership in the plague rats; these would be their WORST match ups as in the books these guys can be so toxic that getting close to them is pretty much a death sentence for an assassin and the alternative is... a poison dart... against a plague monk :v

[@irishwarlord100]

Reminds me of Gotrek and felix , when gutter runners attack them in the blind pig , from the Skaven Slayer book

[@JustinVaysset]

This is really cool , thank you for this .

Was splinter from this clan?

[@Knihti1]

Is last image in video picturing female skaven assassin?

[@InquisitorThomas]

It's almost certainly not official art, there are female Skaven but they're horrifically mutated abominations that exist only to breed as many new Skaven as possible.

[@highinquisitorvanwiller8904]

@@InquisitorThomas M'yes, indeed. From my experience and research with the skaven, there females are either broodmothers (mutated by clan Maulder) or concubine breeders (not mutated) in clan leaders personal harems. The Skaven are one of the few species capable of performing a total war society, where every act in their society is for the preparation and application of war.

how do you think the ninja turtles were made bro frigin ninja rat. MASTER SPLINTER

Clan Eshin is basically Ninja Ratmen I mean...where’d you think Master Splinter came from?

Holy fucking shit that is littrely the best thing I’ve heard of in ages it would would be so cool if he was a Skaven

[@Solkard]

@@phreakazoith2237 Obviously contaminated spawning pool fluid. The turtles are mutated lizardmen. Splinter clearly wanted a personal troop of assassins that would be devout and loyal to him. And who have shown more loyalty than the Lizardmen to the plan of absentee Old Ones?

Here's for Assassins' Creed: Eshin I need this in my life!

[@ajp1297]

The one issue I have with skaven assasins is that sometimes these assasin missions take a while. Im assuming at times causing them to hide and skulk for days on end to reach their target. This doesn't line up with the skavens high metabolism and them having to eat 5 times a day to maintain body mass. If they are hiding and unable to eat consistantly would that not hinder their physical prowess over time and lessen success with longer missions? Just curious.

[@thetsarofall8666]

Depending on who they are trying to assassinate, it wouldnt be too hard to steal food. Especially from the rich, who would have plenty of food (or people) around to gnaw on while waiting.

[@ajp1297]

Damn I'm late.. but good point. I honestly started dipping my toes in the warhammer universe about a year ago so I had so many questions lol. Now I have grown to love it!

[@wyvernfallgaming]

2 things you missed you did excellent for most part but eshin also has verminlords according to 8th edition as does pestilens skyre and warlord clans each with seperate abilities from normal verminlords anyway eshins vermin Lord is very sneaky and fast second thing according to games workshop deathrunners are Canon and are bassicly skaven black ops that are selected as a secret step up from gutter runnners trained to more act in groups with moderate murder skills as opposed to assassins who operate alone with high murder skills nice video btw

[@jumbothick2984]

Thank you for watching and I appreciate your feedback on the death runners, but if you go back to my horned rat/ verminlord video you will see what I was able to scrounge up for the greater demons of the horned rat

[@MrBigBadWolf90]

Eshin FLC : Legendary Lord Sneek - new campaign movement stance unique to Clan Eshin: sneaky march(to replace ambush stance) becomes available if you have only Eshin units, 50% movement range and the army is hidden. - vangaurd deployment for all armies - +50% army upkeep faction wide - Eshin variants of the skaven roster with improved stats, big leadership buff, and stalk added to most units (like rat ogres) - No loyalty problems with generals - Assasination and espionage contracts recieved from other clans with moderate diplomatic effects - Sneeks quest battles. Battle 1: never before seen type of total war battle, you can only bring 5 units max and must sneak past patrols to reach the general whom you must assasinate(kill) to win. Battle 2:FFA battle where you choose which general to kill and depending on your choice you get different rewards ... Fingers crossed CA reads this :p

[@InquisitorThomas]

Big Bad Wolf Welp we're getting a playable Clan Eshin in a DLC with Snikch, which honestly makes sense, the right hand men of the Lords of Decay were always the more fleshed out characters.

[@PetrucciIbiza]

Cool video. Eshin is my fav clan as well!

[@Scuba-Ry]

Love your lore videos. Ex Eshin tabletop Player myself and originally started playing Skaven when Mordheim was released 20 years ago. (F*** I'm old!) Anyways, just too add - Clan Eshin are the only clan to know of the fate of Mordheim and the Nightlord sends night runners & verminkin (which are essentially Eshins version of clanrats) led by Assassin's to collect the warpstone left by the comet that struck there and it provides an opportunistic training ground for Eshin. (Be cool if Veskit Executioner made an appearance but doubt it - he was an awesome underated Skaven Character!) Anyways just thought I'd add that as it just confirms the sheer successfulness and deadliness of Eshins secrecy to hide an entire city from rival clans! Also, another tier you missed were the Master Assassin's up from standard Assassin's but below Deathmasters. (But these are probably what the Deathrunners are in TW. Once again, cool video dude!

[@jumbothick2984]

I will give it a try. It's always hard to tell how loud it will be after rendering but I will keep it in mind and thanks for watching

[@cardboardbox191]

Is it possible to murder someone in scaven society? I know you an kill people (rat-kin) I'm just wondering if murders a thing.

[@jumbothick2984]

Yes and no. Usually when a Skaven stabs another Skaven repeatedly there is no immediate repercussions unless said ratkin is either a grey seer or some other high ranking member in society. Usually though there are no punishments doled out as obviously the dead Skaven was not smart enough to save his own skin and so not worth much to begin with.

[@cardboardbox191]

Cheers. I'm guessing anyone caught killing a grayseer would be called a heretic and get excommunicated unless there rank was much higher. What if it was someone higher but not a grayseer I'm guessing you'd just get there position (even if you might have to survive touching one of the pillars but then whether you succeed or fail at that you won't get punished either way). Also would an assassin ether be accused of murder or what it fall on the one who hired them?
