In a further, slightly convulsive effort to do something hobby-related every day, I've glued together my Warlord partisan infantry squad, and begun painting the partisan artillery crew.

| Ten partisans, that can be divided into five-man sections. One with an MG34 and the other with submachine guns. |

- The 8th Army types are Regular troops of the Royalist Army of the Severn Valley, backed by a single BUF light tank.
- The rest are Canadian, Navy and LDV units loyal to Albert.
This may seem a little overwhelming on the part of the Royalists. But there are a few vehicles left over, and perhaps the Army woutld be the attackers into a town. This sounds like a village on the border of Yorkist territory.
Edit: Here's the mostly-completed gun crew:

| Matt Black and Bugman's Glow for the shoes, Highlord Blue and Hardened Leather speedpaints for the shirts and sweaters, Hardened Leather for straps, and a mix of Bugman's Glow and Wraithbone for skin. |
I have next weekend off and am thinking of running something at the club. Most regular members will be at the Recon event in Orlando, but some will stay at home and I just might try to run Xenos Rampant with this lot - if I can finish painting the LDV.



Very nice additions to your forces. The figures are full of animation and charm.
