I know you're all here for the pictures so I'll start with that:
Two line troopers.
Two more.
The corporal and sergeant. The corporal has an empire flagellant head with a greenstuff grotesk and strap, the tommy gun is from MaxMini. (I told you I couldn't wait to use it!) The sergeant is the first MaxMini head of that style to keep its spikes. I think it fits his axe-murderer look, but I'm still not certain I will leave them. The sergeant's arms are from an empire flagellant and the axe head is from a chaos marauder. Note the khorne symbol on the chest since he is without shoulderpads.
Plasma gunner and trooper. The plasmagun is from a chaos raptor and is smaller and thinner than most marine sized weapons, perfect for a mere mortal. (Thanks Trent!) I used the flamer to give it a strap, and the left arm from the cadian heavy weapons team, the one that ends up near the face to make it look like he's yelling.
I chopped the connector off a flamer tank bit and used it to attach a plasticard tube to the flamer hose. The plasticard is simply a tube with plasticard glued to either end and several small plasticard strips glued on horizontally for detail.
Stubby autocannon. I didn't like the pose of the old assistant gunner, so he was busted back to private. The new assistant gunner has a full drum made from gluing two of the heavy weapons extra half-drums together and greenstuffing the gap. He also has a las-carbine. Rolled up greenstuff on the base will be painted as spent shells. The barely visible stub-revolver on the rock next to the gunner is from necromunda.
Here were the votes from my earlier poll:
The rocks on the Blood Pact bases, are they too bright?

The rocks on the Blood Pact bases, are they too bright?
Yes, tone down the blue. | 2 |
Yes, change the color to match the mud. | 1 |
No, it's fine as is. | 3 |
Lightly drybrush some white on the rocks and they'll look fine. | 2 |
It looks like a pretty even spread. I'll try out a few things, perhaps washing the rocks in devlan mud and then bringing the highlights back up.
Minor progress on the Stalk Tank since I've run out of plasticard tubing! I did pick up a razor saw and mitre box and it's helped immensely. For less than the price of a GW razor saw I picked up an Excel brand razor saw with removable blade and an aluminum mitre box for making straight cuts.
Next up: Painting squad 2, Loxatl, Stalk Tank
