Eversor Assassin(s)

I picked up a second Eversor Assassin a while back. I'm not sure why. I already have one. It's a (slightly) newer one. I think I might have been buying stuff from an eBay seller and they happened to have it and it was too good of a price to pass up...? Regardless, I have it, and finished painting it...



Eversor Assassin.



I also recently rebased the one I already have.



The pair of them.

I'd started painting/rebasing them a while back and then stalled and then cleared them off the workbench, but then recently brought them back to finish up because a recent White Dwarf magazine (451?) had rules for using them in Blackstone Fortress - using the Army of One rules (originally made for running Harlequin Solitaires through a Blackstone Fortress Expedition). I thought it might be fun to run him through a couple of Expeditions - not to find the Hidden Vaults, or anything, but with the object of taking out Obsidius Mallex, the Chaos Lord bent on taking the Blackstone Fortress for himself! Seems like a job an Imperial Assassin would be sent out to do!

    Nice work!
    I especially like the more human-looking ninja one.

      Thanks - the ninja-like one is really, really old. It was released in the late 80s or early 90s - back when I was playing 1st Edition Warhammer 40k - because I had one at that point. This isn't it, though. It was lost in one of my great purges in the 90s. I picked this one up off eBay a couple years back... I do love the figure - and it works as an Eversor Assassin (back then there weren't different Assassin temples - or whatever they're called... there were just... Assassins... and they were bad ass...).

    Great work on those old minis,

    I remember painting the eversor assassin myself in 1993, and we're essential in games if you were using imperial guard.


    Cheers

      Thanks!

      I'm not sure I ever even used my original one in a game - I mostly had Eldar at the time. I just thought it was a super cool miniature - How could I not buy and paint a FUTURE SPACE NINJA!

    I actually didn't realise just how similar these two are! The Eversor is by far the most bad ass and pure grimdark assassin there is, but I've also got a soft spot for the masterpiece that is the ninja looking dude. Gotta be a Jes Goodwin model. They both look awesome.

      THANKS!

      Yeah, the newer Eversors were definitely inspired by the original - and then the other types were added.

      Thanks!

      The newest ones are plastic and very dynamic... but I can't justify the $37CAD for a miniature I already have and don't even need more than one of!?
