==Appearance==
[[Image:BloodPact.jpg|thumb|leftright|150px|Blood Pact warrior.]]
Blood Pact warriors usually resemble a particularly ragged or barbaric [[regiment]] of the [[Imperial Guard]]. They wear fabric battledress uniforms either looted from the corpses of Guardsmen, or manufactured to resemble a basic Imperial design. Over this are worn packs, webbing and the usual assortment of infantry kit, including a steel bowl-helmet. Because their kit, equipment and battle dress is essentially a mix of plunder and homemade, no two Blood Pact troopers are ever identical. Their appearance is rough and ill-kempt: their clothing torn, patched and dirty, and helmets chipped and dented.{{Fn|4x}}
==Organisation==

The Blood Pact, originally consisting of soldiers from the worlds around Ghourra, is a diverse organization. As the Blood Pact rose to prominence amongst the forces holding the [[Sabbat Worlds]], many lesser war bands and forces submitted to their rule and were absorbed. The leaders of the Pact willingly encourage the integration of other [[Chaos]] war bands, especially traitor [[Imperial Guard]] regiments and soldiers. The Blood Pact is also allied with alien races and mercenaries, such as the [[Loxatl]].{{Fn|4x}}
