Blood Pact Mutie Patrol




I have finished my first Mutie patrol based around a half track.

I went to town on the weathering as this is supposed to be a hard used vehicle. It is supposed to look like an agricultural tractor with a armoured cab added in the field.

The Blood Pact use these to hold down rural areas on conquered planets, to ferry troops across the battlefield and for reconnaissance.

  1. Nice work. I like the converted truck and the reasoning behind it.

  2. Holy crap! I love it! Those models look way too good to waste in a game like 40K - I've started a custom game with original rules that blends 40K with Gorkamorka and it might be right up your alley since you look like the kinda guy who loves a good conversion! Maybe you'd be interested in contributing?

  3. Ok, now I want to go buy some halftrack model kits for my Blood Pact. I'm just worried that they wouldn't be allowed in a tournament.

    As usual your weathering is great. The only suggestion I might make is to put some soot on the hood in front of the flamer. A pintle weapon would look great on the cab as well.

    Great background and well executed. Oh, and just a heads-up, in the new IG codex the heavy weapons team have to be on one 60mm base.

  7. Dear Child

    You are right. Soot on the bonnet (I'm English: bonnet = hood, see also windscreen, gear shift, boot, rev counter, motor etc.) is a brilliant idea.
