This unit of 40 Bloodletters are my 5^th unit that I created, I wanted them all to be different from my other bloodletter units and look good too. I saw an article on how to correct the posture of bloodletters on the 'PsychosisPC  The Madhouse Workshop’ Blogspot, it inspired me to create a unit of Bloodletters standing straight.

The first rank of Bloodletters is where I placed the ones I was most happy with, here are some.

Not all the Bloodletters have had their posture corrected, every so often their is a Bloodletter who is standing normal, just to add some variety in the units stance.

 In the other 3 ranks the Bloodletters have all been converted, most with corrected posture and armour, but no 2 look the same out of the 40.

 When I finished this unit of 40 I was very proud of my achievements, in retrospect I see many flaws in my work that I would now do differently, but that was 2 years ago, and I have learnt new techniques to correct the posture that I will show later. But for now I thought I'd show some more pictures of the unit.

This Unit of 21 converted Bloodletters is made mainly out of Bestigor bodies with Bloodletter heads. It was the 3rd unit of Bloodletters that I started (and latter finished). I wanted to created Bloodletters wearing heavy armour and I was not so confident in my converting skills at this stage of my life. I saw the Beastmen Herds as my answer.

 I originally was going to have the Bloodletters with their Hell Blades, but I changed my mind after converting the first Bloodletter (below). I didn't like the look of the longer arms on the Beastmen bodies and the choice of shoulder armour (from some 40k set). So I decided to keep the Bestigor Axes.

I did not like the Hoofed feet of the Bestigors so made a mould of the feet of a Bloodletter's foot then  I stuck it to the Bestigor's hoof, so that they still all retained the Bloodletters clawed toes.

3 of the 21 Converted Bloodletters from Beastmen Bestigors are not using Bestigor bodies,they are just Bloodletters with Bestigor axes and armour made from moulds.

This Bloodletters armour was made from a mould of a Daemon Prince's face.

 This Converted Bloodletter with Axe and severed head (above) uses the original Bloodletter feet that I cut off  the legs and stuck on.
