Being an assassin may
seem like a glamorous job, but behind every swift, sharp exit there’s a tonne
of preparation and spadework – quite literally in some cases.
Dig a deep enough rut and
your target’s wagon will ‘just happen’ to break a wheel in it. Thus distracted,
your target is easy prey to your ministrations. Usually this is the end result
of your client’s displeasure in your target but sometimes it’s, y’know, just
for fun.
The assassin watched
as the merchant’s goods spilled out of the stricken cart. The fat bejewelled man
was busy berating his driver while the bodyguards looked on with wry amusement.
No-one saw the assassin coming.
First rule of
assassination? Not only make your own luck, but remove other people’s as well...
A quick post before the half-term holiday next week. The
only soldier type I was lacking was the assassin. This has now been duly
rectified with this Reaper miniature.
The cart is a very nice model, not only as a general piece
of scatter scenery but also an integral part of the Loot the Cart scenario
from Thaw of the Lich Lord. It was kindly given to me by my pal Giles (cheers mate!) and given a quick paintjob.
