More progress and I’m starting to see the end now. Though I made yet another two warriors..
Big brute WiP
I think I mentioned earlier when dropping the stalkertank build that I had thought of a medium sized big guy but dropped that as well.
What can I say beyond..he’s back in the running.
Marksman WiP
The initial idea I had for the Pact was running a close combat oriented warband but with a couple of long range weapons. So the marksman/sniper idea is by no means new but that role was filled by the laxotl until I scrapped him. Instead I decided to make a human based one.
The idea is that he’s a injured veteran filling a new role protecting the warband from afar. Not a desired role in the Pact but one born out of necessity
Seen here are some of the gruesome injuries he has sustained as he needs breathing aid and that he lacks his left forearm having it replaced with bionics
Functional wargear, also for hand to hand combat if needed
Modified lasrifle. Note especially the pointfinder. Most likely an improved version due to vision impairment
Still for all his injuries he is a very dangerous individual
Let me just say that both the rifle and the pose really was a pain in the behind. I didn’t have arms that fit so had to cut, repose, pin and sculpt them to fit.
But he’s all good now and I’ve already basecoated him.
Roua
Roua stalks in advance with one of the favoured weapons in the close confines on Vortapt IV
I tried bloodshot eyes if you can spot it. They’ve been at it for days maybe even weeks already and are very tired already
The shotgun is from the old Necromunda weapon sprues. I still have 5-6 of those very sprues
The head is originally a Blood Angels head as I wanted a “normal” hairdo. Makes him even more sinister as it shows that it’s normal men behind the grotesques. That makes their actions against their own even worse
Nasty little axe. Originally from the fyreslayer in WHQ
Krahnath ‘har the Butcher
High Sirdar and the Butchers Hand
I’ve already said quite a bit about Krahnath ‘har as you can see here but in short he’s based on Castellan Creed and he’s a wall of a man.
His grotesque is all consuming
Caked blood and trophies
Heavily armed and utter confidence
Seeking only the best Champions and nothing less
As I started with, my warband of Blood Pact is almost done. In the beginning I was very uncertain of the results (especially in comparison to Helge’s Black Pox) but I can safely say I’m very happy with my guys now 🙂
What do you think however?

Brilliant stuff mate, I love the level of character you’ve achieved with each individual, and the painting is sumptuous. That conversion of Creed is awesome!
Cheers Alex 😅
I’m having a ton of fun with these guys! Almost considering building a tank for them 🤔
Oh you should!! Great excuse to get one of those cool new Goliath trucks to play with 😉
Hah I hadnt even thought of those because I already have half a dozen tanks in a box 😅
Really nice mate. Your bits box must be bloody huge!
Cheers! It’s like pandoras box mate 😅
Oh the Butcher is brilliant mate – bloody great effort there!
Cheers mate 😀
Fantastic work as always! The creativity of each conversion is captured well with your paint job.
Thank you Joe 🙂
I am very partial to the marksman! The choice to use one of the Death Korps Grenadier helguns as a basis for the rifle is great, as it is one of the more reserved looking rifles GW makes (and it has a stock!). I like the idea of him being badly injured, but still being able to fight on as a marksmen (the tube going into his jaw being a very nice touch). Another very characterful entry into an amazing warband.
Thank you Greg! Often going full blown mutant or something like that is very easy. Holding back and keeping it within mortal reason has been a great learning process 😊
