The Callidus Assassin is a strange assassin. Able to take a Polymorphine drug that allows her to change her physical appearance by using her own will power. Even though it’s science fiction it’s pretty far fetched. Still, it’s a really dynamic model in her natural form. More pictures after the jump.
I felt like painting her to match my army of the Imperium units, so her weapons are red with glowing blue power. Straps are a purple colour and the lenses are blue. This really helps tie in all my units nicely. I also went one step further and painted her with blonde hair because a few of my Blood Angel models have blonde hair, so visually it’s another tie. That and we all know blondes have more fun.
Hope you all enjoyed my Callidus model. She’s absolutely tiny, but I feel my paint job really stands up to scrutiny of these large pictures, so I’m pretty happy.

Very nice, will there be a tutorial on the synskin highlighting effect you have achieved?
In my last work in progress post I shared the paint recipe. I'm hoping to create a tutorial, I just need a spare weekend and I don't see one coming up in October.
Love her!
I commented previously about how I thought the blonde hair didn't work…I was wrong.
Appreciate the sentiment of the original comment. Sometimes we have to try something different. I'm pleased with how this worked out and I'm glad you like it as well now. Thank you for challenging me to look at things through other peoples eyes.

great work, but the size of that pony tail is just nonsense. I'm considering cutting mine down to half of that before assembling and painting.
I'd hate to be the hair dresser for this lady….and i bet it takes ages to wash and condition, let alone platt like that!
Looks great! I always thought it would be hilarious to paint one of these models like Lady Deadpool. 😛
Was the red done with Khorne, Wazdakka, Wildrider?
Yes.
Beautiful work Garfy 🙂 love the blondy
Thanks dude.
I usually don't comment on this blog but I have to say this is fantastic! I just picked up AEF for 70 bucks and can't want to get painting it! Already your painting tips on your WIP post has given me tons of ideas.
Thanks!
