War of the Worlds - Mankind Reinforcements arrive.

Leaving barracks this week are two additional Guard units.
Within the campaign structure and force make up, the human player has the option to deploy a limited number of Guard quality units. I wanted to make these look the part and figured that Grenadiers would give the right feel for the game.


Lancashire Games produce a good range of Crimea Infantry and whilst a little larger and bulkier than Old Glory and Peter Pig figures who make up the bulk of the Crown Forces they will provide an additional punch to the British forces.


Next up more contraptions.

  1. Slightly bigger figures for guardsmen seems appropriate. Nice work!

    1. THat's what I thought, not as nice as the Eureka Mini's but I was a little worried about scale creep with their offering.

  3. Sorry, took my eye off your blog for a while. Good to see your Martian campaign taking shape. Those flags be very helpful when those Guards go up against the heat rays.
