Aye, gie em wind!

You know you're a tough guy when you don't need a helmet.

That's the Sergeant of Red/C, the whole of whom can be seen here:

I want to finish 'em off as quickly as possible so I can get to Red/Command. I've got a few of them done or almost done, in violation of my one-squad-at-a-time rule, and I think they're awesome and want to show them. But rules is rules!


Speaking of adhering strictly to my self-imposed rules, here is the Highlander. I like him so much, especially his tam o'shanter, I think I'm going to replace one of the platoons with him and his ilk, just for fun. Also, reading Brave Battalion isn't helping. There's just something so compelling about a mob of soldiers rushing across no man's land, through mud and barbed wire, dressed in kilts with a piper urging them on. You can keep your hyper-modern special forces, I'll take the Ladies from Hell any day!

  1. Love that sgt/captain. Peg legs you just dont see many of them nowadays. I like the long barreled lasguns too. Kilted man looks a wee bit deadly, the beret is a truly nice touch. What clan colors will he be in?

  2. Most people go bionic for their missing parts but sometimes in the heat of battle something else might do.

  4. Thanks, guys. :) The peg leg seems to be a real hit so far!

    I'm not sure what tartan the highlander will be wearing. Canadian Highlanders in WWI wore both khaki and tartan kilts, and they sometimes used a tartan for a whole battalion or different ones in each company. So I don't know yet.
