Sir Norman Ray

Just let you know, I'm a redcoat through and through. New pic's of the South Essex should appear soon.

Thats it, blatend anglophobia if I ever did see it. From a war you started as well *mumble grumble Rick Rasdartly* In that case, I put forward Admiral Nelson. Need I say anymore on the one eyed, one armed Naval war hero?

You blasted fool! Everybody knows half the fun is in the searching! Seriously though, well done, I know how that feels back when i was still doing Warhammer 40,000.

Burn it. Burn it in the fires of Mount Doom. Shred it, make the shredding into a fine cigar, go back in time, give it to Churchill and let him make up some interesting wit or comment to insult this monstrosity. Easy come, easy go, will we let it go? Be stilla, NO! We will not let it go *sings Queen for the next two hours*

Nice work! I feel though that this painter is much like Kenny from South Park, and will return :)

I think LEGO should make Shako's again. As a LEGO Redcoat army collector, do you have ANY idea on how hard it is to collect those cool hats? Especially seeing as everybody else has a huge head start on me! I've only got 170 odd guys with Shako's compared to others :-( Also I think they should remake money, but in smaller notes. I mean, who here honestly walks around with $100 all the time, and how about change!

Hmmm, on the one hand, I had the Clipper, and still do. On the other though, the Flagship looks more impressive, and on another hand is a plate with a bacon sandwich and a fourth has my morning coffee. I need time to think!

Wig, go sort your own stuff out :-P I've been working hard on my army, and I didn't get any breaks neither. Troop count, i would estimate around 170-180 odd guys as of now. Sods law, I took the pics, posted them, put the stuff away, and an EBAY delivery arrived. I still got more on order (in which the guy I usually buy from is now asking "How large is this getting?") There's also the Redcoats placed in the Garrison (which i still need to complete) Engineers and my scratch force of Provost Marshals! (consisting of 4 men) So yeah, expect more Pics asap, if Call of Duty 4 doesn't steal my soul.

COMING SOON! THE RETURN OF THE SOUTH ESSEX! Frogs beware, Indians beware, Americans beware, Scotland beware! The South Essex is due to return, and in greater numbers! (Note, that 156 infantry there, one Major, one Ensign and one Sergeant Major)

Mate, I live in England. English post is unreliable at best, I am NOT about to bid on an American auction. I just want to see what the clone brands look like.

Any chance of a link?

Todays Philosophy discussion will be made by LEGO Pirate fans. We are just waiting for somebody to provide a Matrix style theory.

Hmm, my initial scouting reports show that you have around 3 dozen men. *sips tea from white coffee mug* Send in 1st Battalion. Its about time those 150 odd men saw combat. And tell 2nd Battalion to prepare for prisoners. And have another mug of tea made. One cannot fight without one's mug of tea.

Good Lord! Form a square! FORM SQUARE! Protect the colours! Nice cavalry charge mate :-) Though, you may need some more troops, your men may get slaughtered otherwise...

We didn't have them really. I think the closest we had was one company a regiment was a Grenadier unit. Like the Light Company, they were the Elite of a Regiment, the toughest, hardest men. They used to carry grenades (the old glass ones) but ended up forgetting them I suppose you COULD say the Coldstream Guards (The ones with the giant bear hats that protect the Queen) might be them, not sure really.

Gott in himmel! You're right there old boy! I was thinking I needed that EXACT green 8x8 piece. Thanks! I shall begin my evil plotting right away!

I was about to mention the good old fashioned boomstick. But then I remembered the final scenes of "Bedknobs and Broomsticks" where the Germans (Fur der Vaterland) are fighting off the reanimated suits of armour and clothing... So, smacking them with a large, heavy weapon suits me fine! Pass me the Claymore.

Damn ye! I dont think I have an 8x8 base anywhere, ye meanies. I shall have to try and find one or forfeit.

I cheered at that. But, in all honesty, the French did continue the fight, Resistance, Free French forces and such. It's just the Great War sapped French morale, over a million soldiers lost and a large chunk of their country destroyed/occupied by the Enemy. So be fair to them.

When you have an Empire that spans a quarter of the globe which you actually earn by defeating local armies and securing the oceans through hard work, then maybe we'll stop. All the countries we owned, we only lost America, and that's cos the French helped you. The British army was one of the best armies of that era, the basic front line soldier able to fire three rounds a minute unlike most other nations. It's men were brutal up close because they were the scum of British society (thieves, murderer's, Sean Bean etc) and had some pretty secret weapons (Case shot I believe was one, where the shell would bounce above the enemy and only then blast musket balls at the enemy ranks, and then of course, the Congrieve Rocket which you use in your anthem "Red Rockets glare") So yeah, talk about one war, one little bar fight. We defended Europe from France ruling it, rescued our arch enemy Spain from defeat and bought about the modern era. Anyway, I still love this army, and I love the fort behind it *sweet*

You realise Scarecrow was never taken seriously like Joker :-P You are not fear incarnate, you are a sick man. Your not even a super genius like the Joker. Anyway, Orc's for the win damnit! (And can I be in the comic? :-P )

*looks at pictures* *spits out of coffee* BY GOD MAN! That's a fine regiment you have there sir! And a seriously LARGE one if my eye's don't deceive me. And I thought I was doing well with the South Essex! I'm seriously impressed and seriously scared silly! (alliteration ftw.) It would be an honour to fight alongside you Sah!

Personally I imagine them to be my customers at work as they whine about their credit cards. Ugly, stupid creatures with one thing on their mind and unable to grasp simple concepts such as "regular payments." I have to agree with the Tolkien theory. (TLG cant get the license, Games Workshop has I believe, and TLG would go into debt to get it off them, they have NO DEBT.) When are the Lego Elves going to appear? We've got the army of the Undead, Dwarfs, Humans, Orc's/Goblins/Trolls, its only a matter of time really. So lets call the Green jerks Orc's and be done with it already, because in the end, on mass opinion, that's what they are. And we live in a Democratic World after all. Apparently... POLITICS ON

There was propaganda? I just voted because thats what I see them as. I'm a veteran of Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 damnit! I know what an Orc/Ork is! It's a human sized green killing machine! And Hinckley, I'm telling the teacher on you for trying to insert logic! :'-(

They are Orcs, because Goblins are tiny little creatures where as Orcs are human sized. An Orc is a formidable warrior, a Goblin is a little runt then you can kick away.
