Have No Fear, the Home Guard is Here

Daily Post Dispatcher Times 19-9-40. In the latest news from the Home Front our photojournalist, Robbie Cl'shot, has taken this pic of the Upper & Lower Derbywishershire council LMG Home Guard (HG) squad returning from an intensive day of field training. Under the inspired leadership of Assistant Mayor, Rupert B. Readyson, the squad has drilled relentlessly and are ready to give the Hun a black eye if they dare show their faces in the vicinity of Upper & Lower Derbywishershire! 
 Assistant Mayor, Rupert B. Readyson stands ready to give the Huns a taste of their own medicine with his Mauser 9mm machine pistol Great War souvenir weapon.
Joko Brawnsworty demonstrates his strength by brandishing his Bren Gun LMG with one hand. Willam
Miller is Jokos's assistant gunner.
 
The end of the training session is at hand as Joko points the way to the Hoornboower Arms Pub, time for a pint of Bitter me thinks.

On the left, giving a rousing cheer for King and country (and a well-deserved pint), is local baker Issac Loofmakr.

Bringing up the rear are the dry merchant brothers Randalf and Gandalf Tollkens. Randalf keeps a lookout for other members of the HG, as it has become a new tradition that the first squad to the Hoornboower Arms is given a free pint from the pub's owner, Quist Fitzsailor, as a reward for the brave HG defenders. Time to drink up for tomorrow they drill again.
These Home Guard pieces are kit-bashed from Perry, Atlantic and Warlord pieces that I put together and painted this week.
