Traitor Guard - The Blooded

In my stash I've had a box of The Blooded Kill Team for quite a while. I have to say I love the KT sprues as there's so much variety, and it's pretty neat how you can build the different options for each figure, and have them look so different using a single base figure. That said I really don't like the fact you need to buy 2-3 boxes to build all the options. To get around that I found some traitor guard like STLs (I think based on The Blooded) and mixed and matches to use everything (except one set of spikes) from the boxed set. Once I'd finished, I could field 4 Cadian platoons worth of traitors, one command squad and thanks to a failed print, a set of heavy weapon crews. I mated these with some mortar STLs to make up the full set.

The figures built as per the box

Using spare arms to make more riflemen, the GW torso is mated with a greenstuff copy of a back plate.

The Command Squad plus one regular guy

More sergeants and specialists

This kit has so many heads, here we're using complete 3d bodies with the GW heads, which do need to be trimmed to fit.

More heads, and a regimental banner using an old CSM bit.

Last few pure 3d printed guys to make the numbers up to full squads.

The last print failed, so I retried it and got 5 surplus guys - add one more and 3 mortars and here we are.

First Dominator and a Sergeant

By the time you read this, I will be on my way home from the Goonhammer heresy event, but only a few days before, while packing up, I found I was short of two figures! One was another Sergeant with Bolter, Bolt pistol and Powerfist, the other was another Terminator with Thunderhammer. For the first, I simply raided my bits boxes and printed bits leftovers, and for the second I pulled out one of my Dominators, as I didn't have another regular one, and slapped the paint on very quickly. I had a half day off for a medical appointment (MRI - very cool) which didn't take as long as I feared, so I had a bit of time to work on them.

Warsmith and Primus Medicae

The medicae was from a project from back before we moved, so it's good to finally get paint on it! The Warsmith was another Apocalypticon left over, but they're getting an outing today, so it's good to have them ready for future events as well.

Iron Warrior Basilisk #1

Another project left over from last year - here's one of two of my Basilisks. I still need to make some crew for the pair, but the vehicle itself is done.

Iron Warrior Terminators

I bought a block of 10 from Ebay last year, but never got time to complete them, since they are on my Goonhammer list, here's 5 of them. The chainaxe is no longer legal, but I'm claiming it as a poweraxe - close enough.

Spartan #2

As I'm off to the Goonhammer Heresy event this weekend, held in Leicester, I thought I ought to add some new units to my roster, here's the first. I actually started this Spartan at the start of last year, but never got to finishing it, due to doing all the Apocalypticon stuff, but it's finally finished.

Sergeants and Optae

For the doubles event I'm heading to next week, I needed a couple of Sergeants with bolt pistol and power fist, and an new HQ. I went for the Optae, simply because he's cheap, but because he's lacking in the melee skills I went for a ranged option, a minor combi-bolter with Volkite. The shield gives him the invulnerable save of a Centurion, which might help him, and I plumped for some artificer armour.
