Imperial Guard

More troops destined for the meat grinders of the Warhammer 40,000 universe. This time they are straightforward Cadian infantry stalwarts. Presumably they will be fired up after what GW did to their home planet in January.

Provided the commissariat bothered to let them know.

So here we have two sections of the Astra Mill, Ast Mil, Imperial Guard's finest.

Twin sections ready to go

Imperial Guard - Heavy Weapons

More WH40K cannon fodder, sorry I mean brave, resolute heroes of the Imperial Guard. Despite the GW renaming these chaps for copyright reasons they will always be the Imperial Guard to me; partially for nostalgia but mostly because Astra Militarium is a pain to spell and gives every spell-checker in Christendom an apoplectic fit when you try to use it.

So here are some more brave chaps with support weapons instead of the usual tasers, all GW.

Dumfries October 2017 - part 1

This was a continuation of the 1692/3 campaign that had been played out at the previous two  League of Augsburg campaigns.

The valiant Huguenots  were still in the Caribbean enjoying the sun, sea and yellow fever. For this weekend they had teamed up with the infamous Percy Kirke , some pirates and locals to have a go at wresting parts of Haiti away from the French.

First up was a raid on some sugary refineries and a rum factory.

As well as setting fire to the sugar refineries and rum repository there were a number of carts to get off table

A final stand off
The raid was successful and the Huguenot's and their piratical allies made off with half the carts and left a trail of destruction behind them.

There are a lot more photos and information on the League of Augsburg blog.
