vanus was the poisoning guy right.. yeah hes my fav.

Vindicare..they're awesome

How many of you actually use assassins on the tabletop?

*raise hand*

I use Death-Cult Assassins. They're cheap and I don't really expect them to ACTUALLY do anything, just make my opponent nervous about his vulnerable heavy support such as Dark Reapers or Devastators. (And if they DO kill some well Hurrah for me!)

Eversor looks awesome and is pretty awesome too.

Death Cult Assassins are easy kill points for the enemy!

I laugh at all you conformists, and pick the assassins of the Venenum Temple.

I field a Vindicare with my witch hunters.

I use a vindicare with my DH, he actually does pretty good. I'm looking to buy/convert a eversor and a calidus soon.

Venenum temple?????

Calidus, Me'h'lindi FTW!!!!!!!

also i like the general awsome fluff behind their *ahem* methods, who wouldnt want to turn into any human or near human ever created or that can bee imagined. oh and that spray on suit would save a LOT of time getting ready for meetings, get a few odd looks though!

Being a gun guy the Vindi is a personal fav. But on the field you can help but notice the pure power eversor.

Have one of each on hand depending on the army I fight, but most of the time I go with the daemonhost.

First mentioned in Codex: Assassins, these guys use poison. A LOT of poison. Of all different types and varieties, from airborne, to ones you can spit. They make ol Papa Nurgle seem tame by comparison.

Vindicare assasains as there is somthing cool about lying on the roof of a building for two weeks and then shooting the tracks off a leman russ from two mile away....

Vindicare. Hes like Santa he watches when your sleeping. He knows when your awake. I doesn't matter if youve been bad or good because the inquisition put a hit out on you and a shield breaker round is gonna go through your head when your eating your weaties.

Vindicare for the fluff (gotta love snipers)
Callidus for effectivty

Or the callidus assasins that trick you into think there some nice chick then blow your head off............
Is that a double entendre?

Eversor! I mean, the man's idea of subtlety is killing everyone who could ever find out.

It has to be eversor, a grinning, skull faced, drug crazed killing machine trumps all others.

In terms of game utility, i always thought the vindicare would be top notch. The ability to take out problem squad members from a good distance is invaluable (say that weirdboy or pf sergeant). As far as sheer shock value though, culexus all the way

vindicare. Supressed sniper for the win.

I do like the psyker hunters though, just for the sheer look of terror on the eldar players face when they see one hurtleing toward a farseer

If I could find the points to squeeze him in, I'd definately go for Culexus (more like coolexus amirite?). Together with my 8-psyker PBS, that gives him 10 shots take can fairly reliably take out terminators.

I also love the fluff behind them.

hey wasnt there a really old assassin just named 'imperial assassin' before?

either way, death cult for those who dont like winning games


seriosuly though, death cult is my fav. fluff, i mean a mad frothing needle throwing cultist in a spandex catsuit?

I see your Venemum and raise you a Vanus

Death Cult. Lingerie FTW.

ARMOURED lingerie FTW!

Got to be Eversor, he is a less sutle predetor!!! And no body can field Arny!!!!!!!

ahh technically isnt harker a bit of an arnie figure? either that or slymarbo

Sly marbo is stalone as rambo. Harker is Ahnuld.
