With their infamous red berets "The Ironsides" protect their upstart warlord from assassination within and without his cartel, well paid and well motivated they are the last line of defence for Rayonia!
Their nickname comes from their leaders inability to get out of a chair too often!
Peter Pig figures......
Good Ironside comparison.
ReplyDeleteThey look far too good; you could have a fight on your hands!
ReplyDelete"Their nickname comes from their leaders inability to get out of a chair too often!"
ReplyDeleteAhh, but he needs to stay in the chair to keep painting so much stuff ;)
Nice troops Fran :)
Right on Tamsin!!!!
Deleteyou are all so imature sometimes :-P
DeleteNice!
ReplyDeleteSee the balance of power is tipping against you. It is time to attack! ;-)
Nice looking praetorian Guard. Money can not buy you everything however and those red berets can attract unwelcome attention.
ReplyDeleteGreat painting style.
Not sure there are enough dead markers. They WILL fight to the last man of course. So you my need a couple more dead markers! Just a thought!!Not a criticism of your fighting ability! Honest Oh great leader. Grovel grovel.
ReplyDeleteAre the prone figures at the back Rayonian corpses? if so, how come there aren't more of them?
ReplyDeleteRay stole the rest before I could paint them!
DeleteSo...more iron backside, huh? Nice figures!
ReplyDeleteDoes Peter pigs have hitler mustache? They all look good Fran, and casualties in last row too?
ReplyDeleteYou need a tough strong defence, but your last line of defence should have a last line of defence. Just in case.
ReplyDeleteA fine looking body of men... they will look good in chains during the victory parade!
ReplyDeleteAll hail Franonia!
Lovely looking figures Fran.
ReplyDeleteThese guys are awesome!
ReplyDeleteThe Forces of Rayonia will crush all Franonian infidels!!!
ReplyDeleteNot bloody likely Ray!
DeleteThe one in the second photo looks really angry!
ReplyDeleteVery cool stuff - you know I love the Piggy! I like the name too!
ReplyDeleteHmm, they look menacing... Ray must be late in their month's wage I suppose
ReplyDeleteNah! Ray's not pretty enough to be Ironside.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on those, Fran.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking minis, they must be tough soldiers if they choose to fight wearing a red cravat. ;)
ReplyDeleteRegards,
Matt
Nice representation of the Evil Empire.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking figures!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I am really hooked to this project.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking models indeed! Congrats!
ReplyDeletevery red. :)
ReplyDeleteEveryone needs a private bodyguard or two. Not sure which one Ray needs more to protect from Franonia or from his own people!
ReplyDeleteNice...Home Guard/Bodyguard! But with red berets as targets for Seals...well, I'm not too sure that...
ReplyDeleteA very red berets unit. Milita for sure...
ReplyDeleteVery nice models, Fran.
I could use a heavy or two myself.
ReplyDeletereminds me of those villains from the expendables.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking red berets...Raynonia may tremble with fear...
ReplyDeleteNice last line of defense!
ReplyDeleteThey'll protect your shores and if not throw the leaders chair at them..lol
ReplyDeleteThis is inspiring stuff. Makes me want to go out and buy troops for Badmenistan.
ReplyDeleteNice looking troops their, an actual professional unit for Rayonia.
ReplyDeleteSurely he just needs to be like the old tv ironside, get a wheelchair, a couple of skivvies, and a van to be driven around in. Then he can get even more painting done.
These pictures made me remember those little toy soldiers I had as a child.
ReplyDeleteMore great work as always. Ain't it the truth that red berets make troops elite! Best, Dean
ReplyDeleteI think you could turn one of these lads easily enough Angry. A bodacious beauty, a bottle of scotch and old Ironsides will be waking up in Hell.
ReplyDeleteThese are a characterful set you have there but where is the bible, or other religious, political book, in their hands to punish people with?
ReplyDeleteMore great work. Will be difficult to choose which site to follow Franonia or Rayonia.
ReplyDeleteFranonia obviously!
DeleteThey look good!
ReplyDeleteSweet work, simple story. Cool!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking figures and paintwork
ReplyDeleteNice idea to give them Red Berets. Makes them nice and easy to spot at a distance with your snipers!!
ReplyDeleteGreat figs once again Fran!
Nice work, those look like a bunch of real tough mofos.
ReplyDeleteWolverines!!!!
ReplyDeleteI like their hats! :D
ReplyDeleteThe red hats are awesome
ReplyDeleteThe Rayonian Bodyguard Infantry look well armed. In the second picture, that guy seems to be raising his fist and calling someone an asshole.
ReplyDeleteI like the fact that instead of wearing helmets, they wear red berets instead.
ReplyDeletePoppies on the field...they are everywhere like in Monet's painting!
ReplyDeleteGreat work Sir Fran! :-)
Very nice Fran, your cracking on with this project!!
ReplyDeleteIan
These are the most motivated looking guys I've seen you paint so far.
ReplyDeleteLove the red berets.
