The Slayer Assassin is a character model designed to either work as a standalone miniature or as part of There is Only Rage, a diorama made in collaboration with Bardinator Miniatures to display the Slayer Assassin fighting against their amazing Bloodmoon Oathclaws. It's intended use is for 28mm tabletop wargames or role-playing games, but it can be scaled to fit any other purposes.
This kit contains the files necessary to print the Slayer Assassin:
- Slayer Assassin upper body with a screaming skull helmet. If there is enough interest I could release variations of this piece in the future, like a bare headed option or a closed helmet one.
- Slayer Assassin lower body jumping from a shattered statue, designed to fit on a 32mm base (there is a textured one available in the diorama designed to fit seamlessly).
Additionally, the kit includes the files for the diorama There is Only Rage. These were collaboratively designed and modelled with Bardinator Miniatures, including elements from both brands. As a result, they can be found in both stores:
- A core base with slots for three 32mm round bases, each of which can fit two 3x2mm magnets (six in total) for the individual bases and one 5x2mm magnet for the topper.
- Three 32mm round bases, one for each model of the diorama, with their respective two 3x2mm magnet slots.
- Slayer Assassin's lower body jumping from a serrated shield, which fits the Bloodmoon Oathclaw model shown in the renders (but not included in this kit).
- Two topper variants, which go over the individual bases to hide the gaps and hold them snugly in place, and can be magnetised with a 5x2mm magnet so that the models can be taken out of the diorama at any point. One topper has a gap for the Slayer Assassin's base, while the other is designed for the variant where the assassin is leaping from a shield, and covers that base's slot.
The Bloodmoon Oathclaw models shown in some renders (and greyed out in the final ones), which fit seamlessly in the provided bases, are NOT INCLUDED in this kit, but available separately from Bardinator Miniatures
Lore drop:
Stripped of their humanity and turned into murderous machines who single-mindedly slaughter everyone that gets in the way to their target, a Slayer Assassin's body and psyche are so unstable that they need to be frozen in cryo-stasis while not deployed in a mission, least they overdose on the highly-volatile chemicals overflooding their bloodstream, or simply go on a delirious rampage and massacre everyone around them.
However, when let free on the field, an agent of the Slayer Temple is one of the most lethal weapons in the Terran Empire's arsenal, combining arduous indoctrination-training from an early age, body augmentations beyond the constraints of safety or morality and extremely advanced gear based on technology that isn't understood by anyone outside of their clade, like the neurotoxins of their dart gun, the fusion-based explosives they can use in suicide bombing operations or the targeting arrays that guide them towards their victim and give them an almost uncanny precision. Not to speak of their signature gauntlet, coated the Slayer's own blood, which is a compound potent enough to instantly down even the strongest of humans.
