I have finally finished the miniatures from the atrociously named
Assassinorum: Execution Force. I got this game second hand, already assembled and undercoated, several years ago. I very carefully removed mould lines and then put the figures away to mature. I painted the
Vindicare and
some of the baddies in 2018, and have now completed the other assassins and all the cultists.

The Vindicare is a sniper with specialised weaponry and ammunition. I never had a metal Vindicare, but am pretty happy with the plastic one. It was tricky getting around the back of the preassembled model. I painted him in 2018 for the
Analogue Challenge 'BFG' theme round.

I'm not a huge fan of the dramatic-scenery-base for gaming purposes, but I grudgingly tolerate it for display purposes. The Eversor looks like the psychotic rampage beast he is.

The Callidus can shapeshift to infiltrate her way amongst the Imperium's enemies. Her synskin gave me anxiety, but I got there in the end with blue-black washes over blue-grey highlights .

| Callidus |
The Culexus is a psychic assassin who terrifies you to death. His Giger-esque helm looks like it would give massive neck strain.

As a bonus for you, I dug up my old 1997 metal Eversor and Callidus. I have to respect the 2015 plastic updates which keep so much of the old design. I'm pretty happy with the old Eversor and its paintjob from 20+ years ago! I still haven't finished the old Callidus and probably never will...

Finally, here's all the baddies from the game- one Terminator sorcerer, three Marines, one familiar, fifteen cultists. I will get a game report up on the blog at some point.

Cracking stuff mate. Love how you paint / highlight blacks.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much! I girded my loins before getting underway.
DeleteCool brushwork. They all give me the creeps.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Pancerni!
DeleteNice! These look great!
ReplyDeleteThere was a copy of this sitting at my FLGS forEVER and I was back and forth about whether to go and pick it up - mostly just for the minis... one year, on Boxing Day, I went in thinking I'd get it... but someone else had picked it up!
Oh, no! I was really lucky; someone was selling it online and I snaffled it up quick.
DeleteOh wow! The assassins are just amazing Barks.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Michael!
DeleteLovely work as always Barks!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much, Nath!
DeletePretty nice. I have the metal ones of old, but never got these ones. I must say that highlighting black on these body surfaces is trickier than one would think at first, but you certainly managed to do it perfectly. Great job.
ReplyDeleteI only had the two metals and I had heard that the solo game wasn't bad, so I was glad to pick this up.
DeleteTop work man! I struggle doing blacks that don't become grey after highlighting - yours look spot on
ReplyDeleteThanks very much, Howie! I used blue greys and a blue wash.
