Features in Dan Abnett’s Gaunt’s Ghosts series, the Blood Pact are the rank-and-file soldiers of Archon Urlock Gaur; the chief Chaos Warlord in the Sabbat Worlds. The Blood Pact are a notch above the average cultist trooper, possessing skills and tactics on par to the Imperial Guard. Blood Pact soldiers are distinguished by their grotesque face masks, blood-soaked combat fatigues and scars on their palms; scars obtained from the sharp edges of Urlock Gaur’s power armour, where the warriors pledge their allegiance to the Archon through a ritualized blood pact.
