Deathcult assassins, Delaque style
I’m not a big fan of the deathcult assassin’s that GW puts out. The acrobatic sword swinging ninja’s look more Elder than Imperial. For the Adeptus Arbites army I’ve been building I wanted grittier, down to earth, stab you in a dark ally looking assassins.
I started out with Necromunda’s Delaque gang figures. Their trench coats and shaved heads had the right feel. Unfortunately, they all carried guns. I ordered six of the models that looked like they would require the least amount of clipping and filing.
The guns weren’t that hard to remove, and were easily replaced with cadian bayonets that had been clipped off their rifles. They look a little bit like The Matrix rejects, but they fit the army well.
