Battle of the Assassins - Vindicares

[Legiocustodes]

As it is now 20 years since the original Codex Assassins came out (yes it really was 1997) I have decided to set myself a little hobby challenge... I am going to paint one of each of these classic old metal models (which were in fact sculpted in 1995) alongside its replacement model from the Execution Force boxed game! First up.... we have the snipers of the Vindicare Temple:


1995 Model - Front


1995 Model - Rear


2016 Model - Front


2016 Model - Rear

Overall I really enjoyed painting these models and I think that they came out nicely... though it is clear the newer model is considerably larger than its predecessor.

I have included a load more photos and some additional detail on my blog at:

Yeah; I just found him on eBay! Paid well over the odds... but I needed to complete the set!
