Assassins & Deathrunner

Eshin Hero time !

Well, this assassin is actually THE miniature that triggered enough motivation to start the whole Skaven army project.

I always loved that Greey Seer, but somehow, I was picturing him as an assassin.

I therefore used the following kit:

Screaming Bell: Greey Seer body; Bell

Spirit Hosts: Dague and Hand.

There is not much work here, I made the hoody and the "leather" on the wrist with Greenstuff. I of course had to remove the Greey Seer horns to make the hood fit.

The second assassin received simple modifications, the whole miniature comes from the Silver Tower Box set. Since I really did not like that Deathrunner when I first saw it, the idea of painting two was daunting. (Him + his reflection)

Frankly the concept of that rat, by itself looks far too much "Riktus or Mors" and could easily be converted into a Warlord.

Kristobal helped me overcome that situation and actually made some basic leathery lanyards out of green stuff to give an Eshin feeling to the miniature.

Painting wise there is nothing new, that's the same recipe I described on my first posts.

To finish, I use as my Skaven Deathrunner, the Gutter Runners from the Blood Bowl kit, their motion looks awesome and they look just fine as a representation of a Deathrunner, deadly, swift, plus they fit well in the Eshin range, and they are two of those in a box :D.

Cheers!
