Sorry DaN no painty progress on the Praetorians however they have now got spangly new movement trays from Litko Aerosystems in place of the crappy card efforts in the picture.
The Grave guard guy actually has no head, that one was on loan from one of the knights and was stuck on with blutack. 25 heads did turn up in the post this morning from Hasslefree along with two sticks of bubbly gum, is that service or what
I\'m going to start on them as soon as I\'ve done the two units of knights, the halberdiers and the flagellants. Then I\'ll have an 1500 pt army ready to go for the summer campaign

I hadn\'t seen your thread until today and have just finished reading it. I really like the idea behind it - it sort of fits my approach to painting and gaming, so probably I should do something like it myself.
I like you minis - especially the boyband which is really great and has a nice atmosphere to it.
You have done well on the flagellants too, so I\'m keeping my eyes peeled for an update on them.

I took my Praetorians down to the club today so I took the opportunity to get a few pics of them all layed out in formation.
The lighting was crap but the general idea comes across, that of a solid line of laser death pointed right at you.
The Egyptian temple is one of mine made for the club from Hirstarts blocks.
The Command section with Regimental Colours
Artillery company. Gun crews have dark blue uniforms whilst regular infantry have red ones (possibly an early experiment with the Star Trek philosophy)
Artillery Command with Maxim Pattern Heavy Bolter (my favourite bit of the entire army)
And finally viewers with a nervous disposition should look away now......
OrkyDave says Eyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!

There are indeed some Ratlings hiding in the ruins. The original idea was to have them as Natal Native Contingent dressed in dark green uniforms like Ardendorf in Zulu. For some reason I just thought Ratlings kind of fitted in with the idea of them being Afrikaaner. I heard somewhere that they have the nickname hairyback because as a people they tend to be quite short and hirstute. Hairyback . Hairyfoot?.... Nevermind......
What I\'d really like to do is have a big unit of conscripts made from Zulu models to represent the actual Native Contingent but I know if I do I\'ll get slammed big time and branded a racist or something. Some idiot\'s already complained about the use of the Union Jack as the standard
At the end of the day though it\'s all in good fun so I may do it anyway and stuff them

It used to be unstoppable. The big red speed bump halted everyone in their tracks and the big guns blew the crap out of all comers. The week before I got it to this stage however they brought out the current version of 40k which crippled the armys effectiveness. Damn them and their target priority rolls!!! Now all anyone has to do is pass a leadership test and they can pick off the gun crews:flame:
Still at least it means the thin red line is free to advance and put the boot in
They don\'t like it up em!!!
