Outpost - Field Generator

This is a reconstruction of old toys, the remains of an old Star Wars AT-AT.
The underside of the fuselage is the actual generator, one of the feet is the transmitter. The fences I made ​​of aluminum wire and the posts have strips are normal wood dowels.
I created the crushed pieces from the old cast-plastic frame.

2nd Batallion (3) - Diorama (2)

With the 2nd Batallion, we have Cadian Minis. There are the men from Yukoni, an old praetorian colony in the Canadi-Subsektor (several others are the Praetorian Colombo System, the Saskatchewa-System and the Ontari-System).

The realy name of the unit is 818th Yukoni Regiment. After the battle of Tel`reb, the Units whould detachet to the 20th Praetorian. So the officiel Name now: 2nd Batallion, 20th Praetorian - 818th Yukoni, Callsign: The Crusher".


As you could already see some non-commissioned officers (always one per squad) have an ax as a melee weapon. It is about energy weapons. This is a peculiarity of the 818th Regiment Yukoni, they should document the use of the regiment as a pioneer unit, emphasizing the special nature of close combat specialists.





The second battalion of the 20th Regiment has the unofficial nickname "the Crusher" or Rasczak` s Crusher .  It`s first combat (and only previous use) as an independent regiment within the Kandahar Field Force had it during the siege of the southern cities of Ramanpur.

The actual 818th Regiment of Yukoni loss suffered during the siege battle up to 80 percent, all experienced officers at the front and a large part of the noncommissioned officer corps.

Lord General Gordon then ordered the amalgamation of the regiment as the second Battalion of the 20th Praetoria, which had also suffered heavy losses.
The Command Sergeant Major of the 818th Yukoni, Gerald Jean Rasczak, was appointed as the new commander of the Second Battalion and promoted to Major.


There are 40 Minis and three Weaponteams to do. Pics are coming soon. 
The new Diorama-Background....




Please comments !
So long

Gordon missing in action - Praetorian Guards with New Supreme Commander

Deliha/Khalandra - Army Report VCI:
With great shock had a brazen attack three weeks ago reported by fundamentalist forces under the leadership of the Mahdi against the Kalandra Garrison.

Lord General Gordon and his staff were involved in the fighting. It lacks any contacts yet. Colonel Wimsay was sent with a brigade reconnaissance work to do at first. Lord Kitchanar was assigned and furnish the Delihan Army.

Moreover, His Majesty the King's Randolf Praetoria together with the representatives of the Adeptus Administratum a new Governor General has appointed the Deliha Sector.

With the Duke of Beresford-Severn to win the praetorian forces an experienced and excellent field marshal who could collect by deliberate calculation and strict discipline in the past numerous honors for himself and Praetoria. Beresford-Severn is also his Majesty's Privy Council and a member of the Secret Cabinet.

The extent of the Earl of Sikkim, Lord Kitchanar be bound by instructions Beresford-Severns will is still lacking. All are hoping that General Lord Gordon can be freed as quickly as possible. The 20th Praetoria regiment and all Praetorian units and units of the imperial army in the sector as soon as possible on the march to both the insurgency and its leaders as well as the rest of the Emperor as soon as possible to restore.


The main contingent to quell the uprising of the Mahdi is from the 20th Praetorian Regiment, nicknamed "The Dragoon Guards," Praetorian several infantry regiments and their supporting armor and the 114th Praetorian hussars. Moreover, two regiments of Vostroya or Bulgar VII was flown.

 Also, the sepoy regiments were mobilized by Deliha. In order to march half a Millian man against the Mahdi. We wish our boys all the best and our generals and marshals a good and steady hand for a decision. Salvation and victory for Praetoria, the High King and Emperor, who protects!







(Why this entry?

Unfortunately I have to devote time to give me no time to the model, which also makes me a little sad. Nevertheless, both continue to march the armies of the emperor and Praetoria. The nice thing about a hobby that you can sometimes even just taking a break (and must). I hope that Klaus surprise me soon with a liaison officer on the bridge of Athena (little nod to the south). I think in the second half, i.e. From July 2011 it will be better.
regards
Gordon)
