Painting Warhammer 40K Imperial Assassins

These are actually ridiculously easy to paint because they aren't super detailed. Here's my take on a Vindicare and Callidus assassins.

Step-by-Step

1. Prime the figure black.
2. Give the entire figure a heavy drybrush of VMC Basalt Grey.
3. Basecoat all of the metal VGC Gunmetal Metal.
4. Basecoat the pouches Citadel Beastial Brown or Citadel Bubonic Brown, the ammunition Citadel Blood Red, the visor Citadel Ultramarine Blue, and the straps Citadel Snakebite Leather.
5. Wash the entire model with a mix of Liquitex Paynes Grey, Liquitex Glaze Medium, and some water.
6. Drybrush the metal parts with VGC Gunmetal and then a little bit of VGC Silver.
7. Drybrush the the body suit with a little bit of the VMC Basalt Grey.
8. Paint the brass areas VGC Brassy Brass.
9. Wash the brass with a mix of Liquitex Raw Umber and water.
10. Line the edges of the brass sections with VMC Glorious Gold.
11. For the Callidus assassin, I basecoated the hair braid and power sword with Citadel Enchanted Blue then highlighted witha mix of Citadel Ice Blue and Citadel Skull White.
12. Use straight Skull White to paint the flat strip on the power sword.
13. Base.
14. Seal.
