Eshin Sorcerer is a Skaven hero unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer II with The Shadow and the Blade.
Recruitment[ | ]
- Unlocked with: Den of Secrets
Description[ | ]
The Art of the Silent Death wasn’t the only thing Clan Eshin brought back when they returned from Cathay. A few Skaven delved into the black arts of magic. Blending what they already knew of the Warp with the techniques used by Cathay Sorcerers, they developed a new lore, one that serves to enhance their clan’s power and mystique. Eshin Sorcerers are mysterious, rare, and keep to themselves; they are well aware that the Grey Seers brook no competition from other Skaven spellcasters.

Strategy[ | ]
They work well alongside assassin type units/play style and are notable for having 30% physical resistance which makes them significantly more tanky than the average spellcaster. They also have concealment Bombs for a swift escape from enemy attention.
The Eshin sorcerers arsenal of spells are quite underwhelming, and lack a good bombardment options. avoid if possible, and instead use plague priests/ grey-seers. They also take up a Hero slot for Plague Priests, making them a less viable option compare to Plague Priest.
