18mm 3D Printed Blood Pact / Sons of the Hydra

[zrunelord]

Hello again all,
These is the start of my 18mm 3D Printed Blood Pact / Sons of the Hydra .
Yet another project 😎 Still a wip & loads more to do.
Painted in a grimdark scheme.

The Troops are from Varus / Brother Arminius.

The Sorcerer / Magus & the snake like mutant are from Imitation of Life

And the walker is from Nfeyma.

All are lovely minis which makes using a 3D printer very satisfying ( when it works as desired 😉)

Thanks for your comments.

Stunning painting and that's a nice use of models. That walker is very cool.

They look amazing.  The one guy with claw hands jumps at me. It has a great look.

 WOW that is some great painting

I remember the Blood Pact well. Will you be using Gaunt's Ghosts in your game?

I like the  Papsikels Aliens. Very nice

[Gunner Dunbar]

Those are nice

Thank you all,
No , I chose Blood pact / the Sons of the Hydra just to have a name to tag to .....
So in my head , painting wise etc they're Grimdark ( Chaos Adversaries ).

Both claw hands models were kitbashed.

They'll be added to other cultists ( aka Cannon fodder ) I have made.
These


I like that they can be used in a variety of games & settings anything from fantasy to scifi ( obviously with the right weapons. )
 
And here are some more including 2 more mutants & an Ogre ( Chaos Spawn ? )

Added a Commander & an Icon Bearer Infantry are done ( there should be enough  ) & 2 more Staghound walkers.

Thanks for your comments

damn you really nailed the grungy atmosphere on these, something I don't see a lot of in 15mm!

And once again proving that 15mm is the right scale for 40k, makes all the ranges and hordes of minis look reasonable. (though 6mm epic is still superior, I will die on that 1/300 hill)
