Pact to the grindstone

Well, now that the Demon season is over (for me at least), I needed another deadline to keep things rolling and put a bit of structure back into my modeling and painting.

To that end I'll be heading out to Phoenix in October to play in the Battlefoam Wild West Shootout! I'll be taking along 1750 points of Blood Pact. I put together a list, which I'll reveal next post. Below are the infantry I needed to add.



Two Missile Launcher teams to add to the one I already have and an Autocannon team to add to my other two.


Four specialists using the FW Renegade bitz. Two vox operators, a melta, and a plasma.


And finally, I need to get my second Infardi/Penal Legion squad painted. For these guys I used a lot of knives and other bitz from the Dark Elf Corsairs sprue, including the cool "reaver hook" thingy.

After these 20 models I just have a standard bearer to paint and six tanks to create and paint. Not too tough I hope.

Cheers
Dave

  1. Excellent use of the new command squads with the Forgeworld kits. I love the shortened autocannon, I liked it so much I used it on my own blood pact.

    The Infardi are growing on me, especially with their trademark green I bet they stand out nicely next to the Pact.

    I'm looking forward to seeing the army grow!

  3. Looking good, as the above said, the short auto is great. I may steal the idea, it could resemble a vickers with a small amount of work...keep up the awesome modelling!

  4. Hi guys

    Just wanted to point out the short barrelled autocannon wasn't my idea. I can't remember where I "borrowed" the idea from. It certainly looks good.

    @Amdor - should be able to announce it this weekend : )

    Cheers

  9. Thanks guys!

    @Dragonforge - hey Jeff, even I have to take a break from plugging your stuff sometimes ; )

    I feel bad I didn't plug Wayne's etched base for the Skittarii. I guess I only had it for about a week.

    Cheers
