I'm on board. I like the brighter color scheme, especially the hair.

Looks pretty good I think. It kinda makes me want to paint one up in deadpool gear or maybe a Rorschach mask...

I think I'm with Arakasi on the feedback. You can probably bring it back together with a purple wash/glaze over it all easily enough though. She's not really going to be hiding with those colours, but that may be her plan

I want to thank you guys for the input, afraid I chickened out on the bright color scheme. Went back to a eshin grey basecoat then built up the highlights with some magos contrast , screamer pink and finally some tuskgor fur. Going with green for eyes, blade and pistol. Need to do some clean up and some highlights on the eyes and metallics.
Again thanks for the CC.

She's still a nice departure from "basic black." Hair looks good, too.

I rather like it

Aw, shucks. I was really into the lavender assassin.

Thanks Youwashock, got to admit after seeing your Callidus I totally stole your idea for the hair.

Sorry Josh, I do still have the Vindicare to paint...

She looks fantastic in those colours

Calli is looking really good so far! Nice color choice although I can understand JoshInJapan, the Lavender version looked pretty cool.
Have fond memories of that one, it was one of the first minis I painted when restarting the hobby.

I think this is the right choice Yorkright. Pink cheeks gives her the look of being pre-spanked! (You naughty boy.)

Glad you kept some colour suit. The lavendar assassin would’ve been cool, but the new scheme is good too

Thanks Gitz, pre spanked?

Thanks Gobert.

Here is a few pics, going to set her aside for a bit but this maybe the end of product. The only thing that i am still not sure of is the skull.

That green pulls things together quite nicely. I like her.

Pre-spanking? Heavens.

The warm highlights work quite nicely. Do you think she trips over her braid when she's fighting? Or maybe it sticks up like that all the time?

Looks really good York.

Very lovely, the colours of the weapons really pop.

The green of the weapons works perfectly with the reddish highlights on the black. Excellent choice Yorkright!

That green is lush! Great choice. If bt the skull you mean the one on her chest strap, I think it looks fine, it’s a nice subtle adornment for an assassin to wear

Nice work Yorkright.

Cheers,

CB

Thank you gents for the kind words she has been a joy to paint. I did a little more work on the ruins she is standing on and added some grass.
@ Josh I imagine she is so agile that her hair acts to confuse her opponents as it whirls around her ( that’s my story and I’m sticking to it ).
@ Gobert the skull I was talking about is on the base. It’s grown on me and have no plans to cover it.

So so found an old plastic scout model when I was consolidating my collection this weekend so threw some paint on him. He will probably never hit the table but did it anyway. If I find the rest I may paint them up too. Last up is the next project on the table is 5 more assault intercessors.
Again Thanks for Looking.

Nice work finishing the assassin, she looks great! As does the goofy scout, they’re up there with the OG Necromunda boxset Goliathsom that front. Good luck finding the rest and smashing through the Assault Marines

nicely done callidus.

Assassin has come a treat, and I love the face on the scout! comedy gold!

I love the way the assassin came out Yorkright. Very different with the blond hair and shading of the body-suit. Cool effect on the pistol too.

Assassin's glamor shots look good. Love seeing the old scout.

Thanks Gobert, I did find the the heavy bolter scout but he is in pretty sad shape. I think when my kids were younger I let them try their hand at painting and its a bit thick.

Thanks you Graven, I often wonder what went through the mind of the sculptor with some of these older models.

Thank you buddy, it was nice having you give me a few pointers on the base.

Thank you Youwashock.
Here is a quick update on the Assault Boys.

Coming along nicely, Yorkright.

Those old mono-pose scouts, complete with puffy sleeves. Well I guess there was the Heavy Bolter one and the Sergeant who was just a Marine Sergeant. My gaming group has them somewhere...I think they just changed hands recently. Nice work on him and the Assassin of course.

Cheers,

CB

Great start on the assault intercessors, coming along nicely.
And that old scout sarge is gold, you gotta love those vintage minis.
