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. ๐Ÿคฉ

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.

2 Blood Priests (aka Ministorum Priests) for my Blood Pact force. Their heads are from WHFB flagellants and legs from some elf unit.

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.

An AT-70 Exterminator Tank (aka Leman Russ Exterminator - the one with autocannons) for my Blood Pact Force. This is a wheeled variant because chaos is terrible at following the Munitorum's rules.

An AT-70 Reaver Battle Tank (aka Leman Russ) for my Blood Pact Force. Already primed blood red, but it will need some chaos and Khorne insignia.

A screenshot snippet showing the mapping of Blood Pack Traitor Guard units to the Astra Militarum / Imperial Guard units that I would use for the army rules. This allows me to build the miniatures with the right numbers and equipment.

Here is the list of #BloodPact to #AstraMilitarum units I will use to build my force. Also, here is a link to PoP with a list of the units I plan to build.

I am using these robotic spider legs for Stalk Tanks in my Blood Pact Traitor Guard. They're a bit smaller than described in the Gaunt's Ghosts novels, but around the right size gamewise, since I will be using the rules for armored sentinels.

I finished this #kitbashed field-ordnance rocket launcher by adding crew and some scenery bits to the base. This will be for my Blood Pact #traitorguard. It's fired by invoking the sorcerous tome at the rear.

I built this heavy lascannon from the extra weapon options in the field ordinance kit, some plastic building material, and extra bits from my bitsbox. I used both lascannons to make it a double weapon for the heck of it.

I received the ork torso bits I needed to finish this last mob of 6 ork clankers. They are made with a mix of plastic ork boyz bits and resin parts from Kromlech.
