Skinshifters are a flanking force, good for hunting down routing units, and are light on resources (they are bit of a Einhere lite really). Let's you build them everywhere and in great numbers if needs to be.
I also wanted to voice my "they rock" for Einheres. They can tear through lightly armored units (especially archers) like crazy.

Skinshifters are a favorite of mine, actually. I like playing Midgard, so I enjoy getting them for 20 gold instead of 25...because you can mass them, you can very quickly have two large squads of werewolves (!) flanking and dealing with light cav or the sides of large PD forces while your Einheres barrel straight on through.
