This unit of 40 Bloodletters are my 5th 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.

    Converted Bloodletter Champion with Armour, moulds taken from Skulltaker and his legs are from a Skullcrusher's rider so the left leg is in front (unlike the normal right foot first).

Converted Bloodletter Standard Bearer (taken from some Ork kit and bodies from a Corpse Cart).

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.
