"Even the most heinous green-skinned scumbags look upon these Goblins' swift skulduggery with reverent horror."
- —The Nasty Skulkers.[2]
Nasty Skulkers are conniving and opportunistic Goblins, murderous even by the standards of their cruel race.
Overview[]
When it comes to discovering underhanded advantages, Goblins are always seeking some new kind of dirty trick, be it a chance to sneak attack a foe, or gang up on a crippled enemy. Some Goblins excel at darting forward and stabbing at an enemy's soft spots before slinking away. It is almost magical the way they seem to pop out of nowhere - striking from between a comrade's legs or leaping out of the shadows. Such devious gobbos are known as Nasty Skulkers and are generally thought to be "a bad piece o' work", even by shifty Goblin standards. Once a Nasty Skulker has latched onto an enemy unit, he will plague it, slitting throats and jabbing groins until he is found out and stomped to death.[1a]
The most elite Goblin murderers, known as Backstabbas, are just like Nasty Skulkers, but even meaner. They are commonly hired as Assassins by Greenskins who "don't like some git".[2]
Wargear[]
Every Goblin mob may include up to three Nasty Skulkers, who wear light armour and wield two daggers.[1b]
