is a Lord unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer II with The Shadow and the Blade.
== Recruitment ==
*Selecting any Settlement and recruiting them in the Lord Recruit tab
== Description ==
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.
