Legiocustodes Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 So I’ve been working on something a little bit different this week... in order to have a break from Battle Sisters and Necrons I’ve decided to make a change and as such I’ve been working on an Imperial Assassin for 40k. This fella is a Psyker-Hunting Culexus Assassin and is one of the modern sculpts that came with the boxed game ‘Execution Force’ that I got a few years back. I painted him to emulate the box art and as such he is predominantly clad in a fairly cool black tone to match the Vindicare and Callidus Assassins that I painted back in 2017. I must admit that I really like this model; it is a clean, crisp sculpt that faithfully captures both the feel and look of the old original metal model from 1997. I greatly look forward to seeing how he does against some Psykers on the battlefield in the near future! As an aside I have also just found a copy of the original metal model in my bitz box... so I might paint him up for comparison and nostalgia purposes!!

FormelyKnownAsSmashyPants Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Great work. Love the eye lense, makes him look cold and menacing. Kudos. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/355437-culexus-assassin/#findComment-5299912 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree with you here legio, these assassin sculpts fit the theme and stay true to the originals so well. Great work on the paint job mate, keep it up!

Magos Takatus Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 This is a really well painted Culexus. I've just painted one myself and can now appreciate how tiny those details are.
