Brittianna Bunker City; Here comes trouble!

Rule Bittianna, Brittanna Rule the Wastes!

Brittianna Bunker city was the first SOS bunker to open on MBW. They quickly built a walled city, but it has grown beyond their original plans and massive shanties sprawl all around it.

The city believes that they are decended from an old Earth Empire. The young Queen Miranda sits on the throne and rules the city. Lords and Ladies of standing assist her by running various parts of the city.

Mutants are welcome in Brittianna but they are third class citizens. All is not well with in the city as a mutant sympathiesers oppose Miranda's rule. There is a hefty price on the head of the terrorist known as "the White Rose".

The city has spread its influence wide and currently has taken a area known as the Greens under its arm. The Greens is hone to the Halfling mutants who are mainly farmers. The cities troops provide protection in return for food supplies for the city.

To the North East lies some ruins the Queen has called Nu-London (despite there was never a city called that on MBW). Her forces try to take it in the name of the Queen from time to time and meet savage resistance from various gangs and mutants in the ruins (mainly the Fatal Floozies gang, Grots and Vermen).

The cities armoury was very well stocked when the bunker shut.

There are plenty of Light Powered Armour suits, but only elite troops get them.

There are close assault versions of these troops too.

Light infantry pictured above form the core of the cities defenses. They often have a support walker when out in the field.

Here is the second section.

There are more troops to follow as Lord Black Daggars Company and Col. Blunts Specials are currently in the field.

As I recall Shockforce had some wild colours for its Megacorps troops. :D

The paint scheme for these guys is inspired by Colonial British uniforms. It works well I think. I suspecy your average wastelander wont forget these uniforms in while. :(|grin:

Black Daggars Co will be in a WW1 colours. I have yet to decide what colours to paint Col Blunts Specials. Possible modern chamo, or WW2 Denison pattern.

Modern british is really difficult... I've just done some, which whilst it looks awesome... actually looks nothing like it was meant to! The current desert version is easy enough though, as is the Denison...

:lol:

I still got my old beakies from back in the day :D Some more will turn up in the Wastelands for various factions. Who knows maybe Brittianna might get another squad or two. :D

The Walker came with the troops from Evilbay for a song a few years back just as I was returning to wargaming.

Well, if you're ever strapped for cash you can always ebay that lot ;)

I like the idea and the story, the paintjob's good and uniform, the grunts and sentinels work really well, but the beakies.... not my cuppa tea I'm afraid.

I felt that my two squads of troopers where rather puny, so a third squad was added.

Posted Image
Red Squad has two specialists to add a bit of firepower to any company. The minis are old GW 40K IG, and the heavies are later IG leads. The price of the ealy IG is amazing. About £2.50 to £3.00 each on evilbay. To think I picked up 8 troops and the walker for £10.00 a few years ago. :jaw:

Posted Image
A close up of the later heavies. The armour is more defined but as they are specialists I think the difference in kit works. The guy on the right had a dumb looking 40K plasma gun. I hate those things. So a plastic Ork bolter was grafted on. These things are huge!! This is now a Flak Cannon - a scary weapon up close - players of unreal tournament will know about these weapons!

Posted Image
I also found a later officer. Again he had a dumb looking plasma pistol so I swapped it for a autoshotgun. This is going to be a generic officer.

Lastly.....

Posted Image
This here is Captain Razor (also known to his men as "the Bastard"), who unluckily signed up to work for Lord Blair. He is now under house arrest and he is not too happy. He wants Blair's head on a stake. Razor is unusual for Brittannia in that he is a officer to have worked his way up the ranks (Brittannian officers usually come from the upper class or wealthy families). He will feature in a campaign in the future.

The mini is a Warmachine/Hordes Drako the black bastard...(I think).

I love the heavy weapon conversion, those huge Ork guns do make great support weapons for normal sized humans.

They do dont they? :D I use them on vehicles too. Again as Flak cannons. They have a nice PA feel to them once you shave off the glyph plates.

Captain Razor is known among his men (and women) as a Bastard. However he also instils fierce loyalty in his warriors. Many follow him as he moves from defence company to defence company (the Lords that employ him do not like him as he hates Toffs).

This unit follow Razor about everywhere and are known as Razors Bitches...

I am know sure what the minis are but they were painted by Stronty Girl as she is known on TMP. I have had these a couple of years an not known what to do with them. Until now. :D
