Forbodian Engineers

Among the recent batch of odds and ends I added to the Forbodian Army were these engineers.  These fine fellows are members (well OK, the only members...) of the Forbodian Royal Engineer & Artificer Korps (FREAK) and serve the King in the construction and destruction of fortifications, bridges and the like.
FREAK assembled for the Royal photographer.  The figures are lightly modified gunners.
The Chief Engineer, Kapitan Cimpp.  He is an adventurous fellow who enjoys blowing things up.  Here he is, clearly looking for something to set something light to...
Aha - a cache of dud(?) heavy artillery shells!
Another big explosion and a happy Kapitan!
(Note - the bold Kapitan is not based on any retired engineer Captains of my acquaintance. Honestly. And certainly not one who'd be really miffed about being represented by a converted gunner!)

    Hi Tim,

    All I can to Forbodia is be afraid, be very afraid - rumour has it in diplomatic circles that Cordeguay is quietly mobilising....

    All the best,

    DC

    The Forbodian intelligenge service thanks you for your information. It is hoped that the Cordeguayan actions are in connection with the joint military manouevres which King Boris has recently discussed with Presidente Roberto.

    Hi Tim ...

    The Stylish Blogger Award comes full circle. As one of my regular visits, 'Megablitz and More' naturally makes my award list.

    Now I see more of the green jackets I know style is what this blog does best.

    Thanks for the continuing entertainment ..

    Oddly, your comment has only just appeared - apparently 9 days after you posted it! I find that the trick with photos of figures which look too small is to sit closer to the screen...
