I built this Blood Pact command squad, including a Chaos icon/regimental standard bearer.

Blood Pact Infantry squads 3 & 4 are completed and ready for primer. That makes 4 ten-man squads (or 2 full-sized 20-member squads, going by the datasheet).

That's correct they copy the imperial guard for organization and tactics.

Blood Pact infantry squad #2 is also done and ready for primer.

Blood Pact Infantry Squad #1 is complete and ready for primer! The worst part of converting the traitor guard so far? Shaving the imperial guard winged skulls off of all the torsos and weapons!

The Blood Pact Death Brigade squad is nearly done. They now have their skull mask heads. I just need to add the green stuff power cables from their weapons to the backpack power packs.

This is a #wip of a Blood Pact officer. One arm is an old metal commissar arm. It's inspired me to try my hand at making him a great coat out of green stuff putty.

Okay, the Blood Pact heavy weapon teams now have a mix of the previous metal heads and the new resin heads from Anvil Industries. This gives me enough metal heads to mix them across the infantry squads as well.

I have the additional grotesque heads I need to finish the Blood Pact. Now I need to swap some of the resin heads into the artillery and heavy weapon teams so that both metal and resin heads are spread across the whole army.

Three styles of head bits for my Blood Pact army: grinning grotesques, clasped had masks, and skull/death masks.

Head bits with clasping hand masks, like those worn by the Sons of Sek in the Gaunt's Ghosts novels. I will make a squad of the Sons of Sek as part of my Blood Pact army.

I received the head bits that I need for my #BloodPact. Skull masks for the Death Brigade, Clasping Hand masks for a Sons of Sek squad, and grinning grotesques for the normal Blood Pact. The metal heads with grotesques I got a few years ago no longer seem to be available.

For the last Death Brigade trooper with a special weapon, I decided to pick an easy option and give him a hotshot laspistol and melta mine. Tip: Orks have a lot of extra meltamines. Now, to make 4 more troopers with hotshot lasguns.

Blood Pact Death Brigade trooper. I wanted to make a hotshot volley gun, but also wanted to easily tell it apart from the hotshot lasguns. I decided to go big and use an extra sentinel multi-laser I had in my bits box. πŸ˜„

Two of the Death Brigade have plasma guns, and the Sergeant has a plasma pistol and a chainsword. I am debating if the sarge should have a power backpack and a cable running to his pistol. I will do all the cables at the end.

Here is my proof of concept for making a hotshot lasgun from a flamer and a regular lasgun. The power pack is an old school Catachan vox with some details trimmed off. I think I will add a second greenstuff cable from the lasgun magazine spot.

I am converting a squad of the Blood Pact Death Brigade (using Kasrkin rules). I ordered these heavily armored torsos from Kromlech. I also ordered some Skull-mask heads from Anvil Industries bu they are still in transit.

This week, I built these Kolony Militia figures with Gas Mask heads from Pig Iron Productions. They're now available from Athena Miniatures, apparently. This is part of my effort to build all my #imperialguard and adjacent #minis.

My hobby desk on Saturday, March 7th, 2026. A relatively clean desk to start today. I have a new batch of torso and backpack bits for Imperial Guard conversions. Also, there are a few Blood Pact models ready for testing the paint scheme.

True, maybe GW should do an update for them like they did for the Cadians.

I built this box of SpaceNam soldiers from Reptilian Overlords and Wargames Atlantic. I think they make better Catachans than the official GW models. And they are about half the price.

These are mostly all nicely painted, with a few just primed. But there is some chipped paint and and a few missing details here and there. They will just need a few touch ups and basing.

I am rebasing these old-school metal Tallarn heavy weapon teams on 60mm bases. There are 13 teams in total: 4 heavy bolters, 4 autocannon, 4 mortars, and 1 missile launcher.

I was gifted a large Imperial Guard Collection, including these old-school metal Tallarn Heavy Weapons. They were based on undecorated 25mm bases, or no bases at all for the weapon carts, so I put them all on 60mm bases for each team.

I was gifted a large Imperial Guard collection - Cadian and Tallarn, and my craft room is covered in guard #minis right now. With my existing Cadians and Catachans, I have a stupid amount of Guard now. 🀩

My crafting desk on Saturday, February 28th, 2026.
I was organizing my Catachans last night, and there are also a bunch of Cadians awaiting heads and arms to become Blood Pact.

I built 3 missile launcher heavy weapon teams for the Blood Pact. I still need to build a couple of infantry squads and command squads, but I am out of the heads I have been using, so that is all for building Blood Pact for now.

I bought this #3DPrinted armored truck for general sci-fi, but it came as a pair. So I am converting one to use for the Blood Pact. After adding a twin-linked autocannon and storm bolter, this will count as a Taurox.

I built this lascannon heavy weapon team for my Blood Pact force. I used all the stands for the autocannon teams, so I had to scratch-build this one. This will be the 3rd team to accompany the mortars.

A squad of 10 Troopers for my Blood Pact force. I forgot to build a sergeant, though, so when I build the next 10, I will need to make 2 and swap one into this squad.
