120 Brain melting pariah - The Culexus

The Culexus assassin has had some great fluff written about it and there are even little snippets about it tucked away in other codexes or bits of fluff. I particularly like a short snippet about how the Temple of the Culexus assassins was visible to the Eldar Farseers because so many Pariahs had been brought together in one place it was a blank spot in space.

That was back in the days when the fluff around Pariahs was linked to the Necrons and C'Tan and that the whole Pariah gene had been placed into human genetics by the C'Tan before they went into hibernation.

Now they are a little less deep but no less horrific with their ability to such out your soul and fire it as mind bullets! The whole thought of the Animus Speculum being some sort of hole into you soul is also quite a horrible thought. These guys always come across as very tortured individuals.

Painting wise I stuck with the simple and traditional style and I think it worked quite nicely. I added a few of my own tweaks with the bone psykout grenades but otherwise kept it simple.
