Damn sharp man. That standard bearer is just excellent! You have me trying to figure a good way to work it into my army.

While I agree that the Goblin and Gor heads are a bit too big, I think the Ungor heads fit right in there, I'll be using a few of those along the way too, just to speed things up.

Dave, didn't you do at one point a Cadian conversion that used Gor or Ungor heads and dark red uniform scheme?

**the_emperors_renegade**

nice one man i got flooded by inspiration now!

Why yes I did, they were kind of a precursor to this army.

Sorry I've been absent from this blog for so long, I've been very busy getting things ready for this weekend, I'm off to the Battlefoam Wild West Shootout Indy GT in Phoenix. Anyway, here are a few pics of my latest work, there are many more pics on my blog, link in my signature.

Cheers
Dave

**infilTRAITOR**

Well done, you've made me vomit with jealousy and rage!

**Metsuri**

Really nice conversions, and the painted chaos symbols are excellent touch.

**Empchild**

I really enjoy following his blog on these on his blog spot. I will profess I was sitting at work bored waiting for him to post these recent ones and all I can say is DAMN was worth the wait. Good luck at the GT dave.

**xenite**

Looking sharp Dave!

**PsychosisPC**

Nicely done. You are like a machine Dave. Just churning away. Well done.

**captain.gordino**

This whole project wins a pack of Morleys.

**BAN**

awesome, i need to sort myself out and finish my traitor guard, so far all i'v done is give all the ones without head covering beards....nice an chaotic really sticking it to the imperium there

**PanzerSmurf**

This is great work! How did you do those eightpointed stars on those two artilery pieces? (not so into the new guard codex, medusae is it?)

**migsula**

The latest batch of vehicles is simply STUNNING!! Great scratch building and very effective looking scheme!

Thanks for inspiration Dave

**deadly chicken**

i like those tanks,

DC

**tinfoil**

The tanks look great. Recognizably 40k and Imperial in origin (if not in loyalty), but also distinctive. And the paint scheme is very effective. Looks war-warn, authentic, traitorous. Well done.

**davetaylor**

Thanks very much guys.

@PanzerSmurf - this seems to be a popular question, so I'll have to do a tutorial on it soon.

Cheers
Dave

**BrotherStynier**

Love the look of the tanks Dave!

**FoxPhoenix135**

Was that you on 40kradio? I heard them questioning somebody about their blood pact army, so I assume it was you! Props on making it onto their show! You're stuff is still awesome, btw. Diggin the armored vehicles.

**Shane**

I just stumbled across this blog while looking for inspiration for my new Guard army, and it blew me away. I've been a huge (but silent) fan of your work for quite a while now, and I have to say that this is probably my favorite I've seen. It might have something to do with my love for Dan Abnett's work, and the intersection of two of my favorite artists, of course.

I'll be eagerly following both this and your blog from now on. I can't wait to see more!

**Flachzange**

wow Dave, going through your blog, I noticed the newest addition to your forces! Im a big fan of the Ursurper, as well as the at-73´s! Exceptionel work really!! Those half-track/ "chimeras" are pretty wicked as well.

Also, good job on your Fulgrim version

Will you be painting him as well?

**davetaylor**

Hi guys

Thanks for your continuing support. I'm glad you're all still checking things out, even though I've been a bit slack on getting Dakka updates sorted.

@FoxPhoenix135 - Yep, they were my dulcet tones you heard on 40K Radio. Nerve-wracking as hell ; )

@Shane - as a fellow Abnett fan I'm excited about being able to intersect more with his work.

@Flachzange - thanks mate, I have just finished painting Fulgrim and he'll go up in the next post, and off to my client tomorrow.

Anyway, here are the latest pics. I was asked to post a full army shot, but I don't really have a suitable setup for that sort of thing just yet. I've split the army into three groups.

The Infantry

The Vehicles

And the Apocalypse-only models

If you take a look at my blog you'll also see a run-down of my gaming experiences at the Wild West Shootout, link is in my sig.

Have Fun!

Cheers
Dave

**P4NC4K3**

Wow, I havent been posting on Dakka for a long time (outside of the Video Games section) I have been missing out!

**gorgon**

Great, great work Dave. The netting on the truck is a nice touch. I may steal it.

**Blackbone**

Looks great. I sure it felt good to plonk them down on the table and play a bunch of games vs. other fully-painted armies at the Shootout.

**lalabox**

I've just started work on making one of your trucks. I'll have to wait a few days before I can use my school's laser cutter, but it should be built soon. All your models are superb, and I'm really grateful that you posted instructions and templates. Hope you get the rest of the guide up soon.

**r3n3g8b0y**

man awesome i really like the weathering on the vehicles..TOP NOTCH!...also how did you make these chimeras?looking pretty good!!

4 EVER!!!

**Mister Feral**

Excellent group shots, the Blood Pact look very cohesive together despite the rag-tag vibe to each individual.

**Empchild**

have to say that patar sin in the back their is my favorite model in the army. Honestly I only ever pictured him much like that(though with bdirty blonde hair no idea why).As usual great work spot on.

**nathonicus**

Awesome stuff. I really enjoy the chaos stars on the vehicles. A very unique treatment.

*edit* Also, the Trukk's to counts as Chimera conversions are brilliant.

**metallifan**

Wow. That's all I've got. Just "Wow".

Any plans on adding Loxatl mercs to them? Guns of Tanith was one of my favorites
