Gutter Runners are nimble and quick Skaven warriors that have survived their apprenticeship in the ranks of the Night Runners and have since occupied the second tier within the cut-throat society of Clan Eshin. They are elite skirmishers and scouts, second only to Eshin Assassins in the art of stealth and speed. Their attacks are quick and effective, frustrating their enemies as the Gutter Runners appear, attack, and vanish just as quickly in a flash of smoke or a splash of shadow.[2a]
