After completing my Imperial Guard army, I wanted to make something different. I'm not fond of the superhuman Space Marines, or Aliens, so I was thinking of Blood Pact, a force mentioned many times in the Gaunt's Ghosts novels. I found an oooold picture off the U.K GW website.

Of course everything about them would be standard IG except the helmets. Where can I find something close to those?

They are from the chaos vehicle accessory sprue

8 for 8 quid???

The blood pack are supposed to have grotesque masks with ssart pointy noses. I saw somewhere on the net someone used goblin heads to make masks. Get plastic goblins , slice off the faces and put them onto guard heads ( a bit more work is needed than this , but you get the idea )

heres a pic of a bloodpack trooper..

Those are some really sweet Blood Pact conversions Vodski. Thanks for posting the link!

If anyone is looking for goblin heads for Blood Pact conversions, PM me.

I like the beast man head conversion. I was thinking of just using the FW renegade militia as blood pact.

I'd probably use some plasticard and make some polynesian style masks. It's cheap and should be pretty easy it's basically just a flat piece with a face or skull painted on it.
