Azeron waited patiently in the hangar of the vast battle barge. They would be arriving momentarily.
Exigor was 300 years old by now. The wily old man was still a close ally but he was fickle and unpredictable. The sleek black ship slid into the hangar landing with uncanny precision. The ramp hissed open and the old man, Exigor shuffled out. He greeted the grim Azeron and beckoned the passengers out. One by one they stepped out. A sleek, lithe woman, A broad shouldered man, with a face that could cut stone, A hooded character who's aura seemed to cool the room and a stasis pod, pushed out by orderlies.
'We meet again Exigor, It has been a long time'
'Brief them on their mission and be done with it!, After this, the oaths will be complete, and the slate wiped clean. We will owe you nothing'
He was in one of his moods, thought Azeron...
The room was quiet and clean. The three figures and Exigor stood patiently, The orderly with the stasis stood near a link-terminal, ready to upload the data to the Skull-headed creature inside the pod.
''Target Alpha IV - Lord Commissar Maxine Fabii. She has recently taken command of the 501st Foreign Legion. Under her leadership the 501st has rallied and poses a significant threat in the sector. She must be slain, preferrably brutally, in front of her men.
Target Omega VII - Preacher Hopkins. This demagogue has been spreading a particularly fiery rhetoric in the sector. His ramblings and rallies are attraching all manner of fanatics and he is preacher falsehoods about the Black Scorpions. Most disturbingly, Brother Gorgu cut his arm off and ran him through on Warren's End yet here he is, two weeks later, preaching to the masses. We suspect daemonhood or some foul sorcery. His filthy grandiloquence will end!
Target Gamma XI - Farseer Iyanna Stormrunner - This filthy xenos is a psyker and an abomination. She leads the Eldar forces in this sector. Her death will break the will of the Eldar and see them scurry back into the darkness.
Target Omega XXX - Archon Ozzy. This perverted drug addled buffoon has been terrorising the sector. His viciousness and treachery knows no bounds. End this insufferable fools life! It will serve no tactical purpose but seeing this fool nailed to a spike will bring a smile to my face.
Exigor stroked his chin. 'Thy will be done' he said Sarcastically.

Apologies for the long story. It's too much fun. Here is the execution force that will be joining my forces. These assassins are probably some of the nicest models GW has ever made. The quality is so high and they are simply VERY cool.
Wimaro kindly painted two of them in exchange for some Eldar Vehicles. His style differs from mine quite a bit but I was very happy with the results. Points if you can guess which ones are his (Hint: It's the ones that are painted better!'

| Callidus Assassin - Lilith Vangoric |
 |
| Culexus Assassin - The Thin Unsaintly |
 |
| Eversor Assassin - Bone Saw |
 |
| Vindicare Assassin - Heinrich Kaenk |
This beast was also painted by Wimaro. An supremely nice job, better than I ever could had managed. I'm extremely happy with him.
This dude is a WIP. I had the old Ivanus Enkomi body lying around and some cool bits so I made a Librarian with a sword. Going for a sort of sorceror occult theme. He's holding a daemon skull inspired by an old magic cards that had the following flavour text:
 |
| Though lifeless, the Skull still possessed a strange power over the flow of magic. |
