Blood Pact Sergeant










I decided to try to copy the feel of the great Blood Pact Pic that I have found to model my squad
Sergeant.
I used flagellant hands with fine scale model chain to copy the hand necklace seen in the artwork.

I made this figure heavy hitting with Powerfist and Plasma Pistol.

The pistol is from the Forgeworld veterans upgrade.

I used a canteen bit to represent a small anti-vehicle mine and skull helm from one of the chaos trophies

Blood Pact Banner/Icon Bearer







This guy uses pieces from the flagellant sprue and Chaos marine Icon to make a truly gruesome Icon with a Banner made from human flesh.

The flesh is carved with the Unholy icons of Khorne.

I use weathering powder on his feet and base to show the grit and grime of combat.

Blood Pact Flamer Troop











Nothing clears out vermin from cover like the Flamer for the infantry squad.

I like this model, a nice no-frills unit is a nice change of pace from heavy conversions.
I have the complete squad modeled now including an awesome Icon/Banner bearer.

Blood Pact Autocannon Team











This is my HW upgrade for the squad an autocannon team.

My dedicated HW teams are going to be Lascannons but this is for the times I want a HW
upgrade for my Infantry Squad.

I went with autocannon to maximize the squads antipersonnel firepower with enough kick to
crack light armor, I'll leave the tanks to the lascannons and meltas.

I have modeled them behind Hastily improvised cover to make them part of a squad on the
move rather than model more permanent emplacement such as sandbags or tarantulas.

Blood Pact Voxcaster











Here is the all Important Vox-Caster.

I did not use a grotesque head on him but a gasmask head instead that I have cabled to his vox.

I used thin 24 guauge wire for he helmet antennae.

He also has a powered down Auspex so he can call in artillery strikes.

He could also stand in as an Evil Master of Ordanance

This guy is a mismash of parts from Maxmini,Cadian shock and command sprues and a cable from Dragonforge.

They are soooo much easier than using PITA guitar wire it comes in sizes that work for both characters and vehicles.

I have the style of painting them down the way I feel they were described in the books with red fatigues the color of dried blood.

-Solid Dark Flesh base

-Wash of Devilin Mud

-Two washes of Baal Red let each wash dry fully before applying next

-Highlight high folds with 1/1 VMC black red/carmine red

-Wash of baal red to help blend in the highlights

Blood Pact Troop 2







This is actually the prototype Trooper.

I went a bit heavy on the primer almost to the point of stripping him, but I think I was able to
salvage him.

The skulls from the flagellant sprue are perfect for deco on these guys I just wish I had more
He will make a fine run of the mill trooper
