Vindicare. There's something just classic about him.

My favorite assassin is the one that gets the job done. Also the one with the skull for a head, he's pretty crazy.

Vindicare for me.

nothing says "Purge the Alien" quite like a turbo-penetrator between the eyes of a farseer.



2nd place goes to the Eversor. crazy drugged up psychotic killer all the way.

I had to do a double take when I saw this. I mean, they were a good havoc unit before (and always my personal favourite), but at 15pts that's of the fething chain.

They are kinda less good than they were in the daemon hunter codex, but they do rock now.

Lost a wound, lost Fearless and infiltrate.

Gained one Int, and are taken in squads with other henchmen.

The rest is the same.


Add in some Crusaders for the storm Shields, Rad grenades and Hammerhand and you have an awesome assault unit.

Lost infiltrate?

Well, bugger.

Death Master Snitch

I fear in 40k he may just get shot by a battletank. Ward saves don't help you here!

Vindicare for me,but the Eversor is a very close second,especially back when he exploded after the enemy had finally killed him.

EVERSOR! I mean he blows up when he dies, how cool is that.

But I wonder how different this poll would of been before the new GK book, hmmmm

I agree, who cares about infiltrate when you could just put 14 in a squad with 42 power weapon attacks on the charge at initiative 6 (sorry if i got the numbers wrong - going off the top of my head, havn't got my dex at hand). Stick the squad in a landraider and you can get them anywhere you want - no more easy kill points for the enemy!

You can only get 12 in a Squad.


I think 5 DCA + 5 Crusaders with Rad and Hammerhand is very powerful.

Vindicare because who doesn't like sniping your foes at a safe distance in the middle of their friends? Also, the who ninja visor thing looks cool as well.

Ok thanks, didn't have my codex at the time so I hope noone is confused. Guess that means its only 36 power weapon attacks on the charge .

Eversor. He's one crazy .

And vindicare is just so classic. I mean, he's pretty much just a sniper, a good one, but still...

Vindicare. The power to blow up Land Raiders with a single shot from a sniper is just TOO cool

Well there is no way you can argue with that

Vindicare all the way ... when I think assassin in 40k this one always comes up in my mind first ... nobody looks cooler!

Drakan Vangorich. He is so cool!

CALLIDUS=SWEET

Urhua Thereaux .

Does Snickrot count as an assassin?

All the way.

Vindicare. No question about it. 4d6 for armor penetration is just priceless.
