Some would call the Rats of Clan Eshin the deadliest assassins in the world. Many others would name these as the dreaded Druchii famed for their poisons and swift strokes, all are wrong, all pale in comparison to the dreaded Reapers of Nagash.
In the ages and centuries past many men have toyed with the art of Necromancy in vain hope of gaining immortality, few succeed however and when they die their spirits do not rest easy. Nagash summons the spirits of these men and binds them to his will arming them with deadly blades that cut both the victims' soul and their mortal flesh. On the battlefield they are rarely seen but when called forth strike with an otherwordly strength and speed that few can match. Immune to the blades of mortals and nigh unstoppable they hunt the foe remorselessly until their destruction or their master sees fit to end the chase.
The most favoured of these Reapers are gifted with rune forged blades capable of shattering bones and poisoning minds with the slightest cut, truly they are to be feared by all who appose them.
These ethereal assassins are the vanguard of a Nagashi attack, cutting down the enemy leaders and strategists before disappearing into the wind, leaving only death in their wake.
