Officio Assassinorum Callidus Commission Assassinorum: Execution Force

How gorgeous is this model? As soon as I finished her I wanted to paint another.  This assassin fits in with the usual archetypes of the assassin - La Belle Dan Sans Merci of the 41st millennium.  Paints used: Vallejo, Reaper Master Series, Games Workshop Washes, Com Art Medea Airbrush Airbrush: Iwata Hi-Line HP-CH Airbrush Paint Brushes: Rosemary & Co.

Officio Assassinorum Celexus Commission Assassinorum: Execution Force

This clade still feels relatively new to me. I remember when the Celexus was first released and gawking at that strange oversized helmet. Reading about the horror of the Pariah left an impression in the wider background of 40K and on myself. Like the Evesor this assassin strays away from the usual Assassin archetypes and strays into much stranger territory.  Paints used: Vallejo,...

Officio Assassinorum Vindicare Commission Assassinorum: Execution Force

Officio Assassinorum Vindicare  Exitus Acta Probat Those were the first Latin words I remember committing to memory. To a ten year old they sounded like words I could live by, good words to repeat in times of crisis and what not.

Officio Assassinorum Evesor Commission Assassinorum: Execution Force

No other Assassin quite captures the macabre, insane feeling of the 41st millennium than the Evesor. A hellstorm of biological death, the Evesor is designed to rip the heart out of enemy. I went for muted, moody blue hues to eventuate the sculpt with brass fittings to keep the dark malevolent tone.  More Assassins are inbound all this week. May the Alien, Heretic and Traitor...

In the Shadow of Mighty Wings: Retribution Blood Angels

-Chaplain Faustino Has it really been two weeks since the weekender? That event felt like a hurricane that I'm only now recovered from. It's great to meet old friends and new but we need longer than two days to see everyone. I just wanted to write up a quick note of my initial impressions of the Blood Angels entry from Forgeworld's latest offering; Retribution. I'm working my way through...

Sevatar Prince of Crows Commission

"Because the Wolves kill cleanly, and we do not. They also kill quickly, and we have never done that, either. They fight, they win, and they stalk back to their ships with their tails held high. If they were ever ordered to destroy another Legion, they would do it by hurling warrior against warrior, seeking to grind their enemies down with the admirable delusions of...
