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.
