Only Fools & Beastmen: Jamakeer Guard update.

 The VI (Penal) Company of the Jamakeer Guard

So, for the latest update to the guard, I've managed to finish off the VI (Penal) Company. There are five platoons in total, led (or more accurately intimidated!) by a Commissar.

More pics and photos after the cut...





To start with, here's Commissar Johan Reisman, defacto Commander of the VI Company:

'A' Platoon are made up of members of the Jamakeer Guard convicted of crimes in service. Rather than prison, convicts that aren't immediately executed are placed in the Penal Company, with the possibility of redemption and eventual return to the ranks.

Getting used for everything from latrine digging duty, to suicidal charges to involuntary mine clearance, the number of convicts in 'A' Platoon varies regularly. At the moment they run to 12 men, and so are (unsurprisingly) called the 'Dirty Dozen'.

Model-wise, these are all original Rogue Trader sculpts, albeit with Victoria Miniatures arms, which I far prefer over the originals. 

Next up is 'B' Platoon. Whilst not criminals as such, as Abhumans, the beastmen that make up 'B' Platoon are illegal by their very existence in the eyes of the Imperium, and so have been incorporated into the Penal Company. 

Slightly less straightforward cannon-fodder than 'A" platoon, they are split into 3 bricks of five and even have heavy weapons support.

Model-wise, these are Victoria Miniatures arms, bodies and heads, matched to GW Tau legs, along with three original RT-Era beastmen Troops as the leaders.

So, that's a complete Company done now, hope you like 'em!
