  • Culexus Assassin 1

    Culexus Assassin 1

    The Culexus was one of the first Assassins I bought; that one is lost to time but I found another.

    A 360 degree view:

  • Callidus Assassin 2

    Callidus Assassin 2

    I found this Imperial Agent Calidus Assassin still new in blister. The model was starting to go a bit green in the blister but nothing too dramatic. Part number 010800203.

    The foam was largely a powder. 5 quid – not half bad! She has 1997 on the back of the tab.

    First attempt at painting:

    Second attempt three years and 30 minis later:

    Paints used in the second go:

    • Undercoat: Vallejo Mecha Black
    • Red: Kimera Toluidine Red, then Pro Acryl Bold Pyrrole Red, shaded with Pro Acryl Burnt Red mixed progressively with Art Black. Highlighted with a mix of Pyrrole Red and Pro Acryl Orange, further highlighted with pro Acryl Orange mixed with Pro Acryl Titanium White.
    • White: Scale75 Artic Blue then Art White, shaded with Nuln oil. Highlight of Pro Acryl Titanium White.
    • Bone: Pro Acryl Ivory, highlighted with Pro Acryl Titanium White. Shaded with Targor Rageshade. Highlighted with Pro Acryl Ivory.
    • Leather: Kimera Toluidine Red mixed with Art Black, shaded with Sigvald Burgundy contrast. Decided that the warm brown was no good for this particular model and re-did it with a mix of Pro Acryl Titanium White and Art Black, highlighted with a blend of the same leaning more towards white. Shaded with a mix of Nuln and Black Legion Contrast.
    • Gun: Sap Green, highlighted with Turquoise Blue, highlighted with Art White, glazed with Cobalt Blue. Tried again with Emerald Green followed by a mix of Emerald/Spring Green then highlighted with Titanium White. The latter three used for the sword too.
    • Silver: Vallejo Metal Color Steel, then Black Metal/Thrash Metal/Speed Metal/White Alchemy. Washed with Nuln.
    • Copper: Decayed Metal, then Old Copper, then Amber Alchemy, then White Alchemy.
    • Black: Art Black, highlighted with a mix of Pro Acryl Titanium White and Art Black.
    • Base: Goblin Green then a drybrush of Sunburst Yellow.
