“It killed us all! We couldn’t stop it, our weapons
broke against its body... It was black, like a shadow, and it was moving so
fast, cutting men to shreds left and right. We fought, yes we fought hard,
and old Marcus even tried his trick with the oil flask. It was engulfed by
flames and for a moment we thought we’d stopped it. No way, it came out of
the fire, still ablaze. It was as if it didn’t care! That was too much and
those left of us ran for it. Still it followed us, on and on, relentless and
merciless. There was no escaping, no hiding, its red eye could always spot
you. Oh that eye... that eye...”
Last words of Fritz Huber at the Inn of the Red Moon
Veskit was already a talented clan Eshin Assassin when he was entrusted with
his most difficult mission. He was hired by Clan Skryre to free one of their
oldest and most experienced Warlocks who was being held hostage by a rival clan.
Veskit managed to take the prisoner back, fighting his way through the
guards, but at a very high cost. He suffered terrible wounds and would have
certainly died, but the Nightmaster of Clan Eshin made a pact with the Warlock
Engineers. The Skaven scientist-sorcerers replaced various parts of Veskit’s
body with their part technological, part magical implants and made him into a
walking arsenal of deadly weapons. Veskit is now more a machine than a living
thing, and his thirst for killing has become almost uncontrollable.
When news of the wyrdstone came to the hidden fortress of Clan Eshin, the
Nightmaster sent Veskit to Mordheim to deter the man-things from exploring the
city, which rightfully belonged to the Skaven. From that day on, many
adventurers have met their end in the dark allies of Mordheim. Veskit’s
unblinking eye misses nothing, and those he hunts on the streets of Mordheim
never return to the Gargoyle Gate.
Hire Fee: 80 gold crowns to hire; +35 gold crowns upkeep cost.
May be Hired: Veskit may only be hired by Skaven warbands.
Rating: Veskit increases the warband’s rating by +70 points.

Weapons/Armor: Eshin Fighting Claws (the extra attack is included in
his profile). Each Fighting Claw incorporates an in-built warplock pistol, so
Veskit can shoot in every turn, and he fights in close combat with Strength 5
and a save modifier of -3 (note that he can still parry twice with his claws!)
Skills: None (increased profile)
Special Rules:
Unfeeling: Veskit is a cold, calculating killing machine, and
feels few of the emotions that living things do. He is therefore immune to
all psychology.
No Pain: Veskit ignores Knocked Down and Stunned results on the
Injury chart. He must lose his last wound and be taken Out Of Action before
he is removed from battle.
Unblinking Eye: Thanks to the sorcerous devices built by the
Warlock Engineers of Clan Skryre, Veskit can spot hidden enemies within
twice his Initiative value in inches.
Metallic Body: These give Veskit his high Toughness and a 3+
armor save.
