“Scots, who have bled for Wallace! Scots led by the Bruce! Charge for the bloody bed and for victory!” Captain Craig Munro. The battle of Loch Kirkshaig, Commercial Wars of Ariadna.
Crazed Scottish units specialized in close combat, the Galwegians have toughened bodies, are incredibly strong with broad backs and rough and ready when moving. The vairous platoons of the 45th are made up of soldiers from the same clan or family. They are distinguished for their extravagantly large, wide cutting weapons, their tartan dress and their amazing resistance to cold or tiredness.
The 45th are so proud of their honour that they will get into a fight, even among themselves, at the slightest hint of insult.
Let’s take a close look at the models
The Claymore bearing Scotsman looks to be inspire by the Highlander himself; Christopher Lambert. Above him looks to be a model resembling everyone’s favorite secret agent, and ‘Celebrity Jeopardy’ contestant Sean Connery. Bringing up the rear, trying to not get ‘Taken’ may be Liam Neeson’s miniature doppelganger.
Pretty cool stuff, only question is who is this guy supposed to be?
