Reserves have arrived!

Meet this guy!

You might think that this is some sort of WWII Scottish piper in some funny colours, and you'd be right. The mini is a WWII piper, but painted in the colours of the Manchester Guard.

You'll notice that the bagpipes have no tartan. This is partly because he isn't a Scottish piper (not that pre-fall polities have any meaning) but mostly because I'm lazy.

So why bagpipes? Why not bagpipes? In my opinion they are the premier battlefield portable instrument, producing a cadence that is both uplifting and driving enough to make you want to plunge a bayonet into Johnny Foreigner for the vested interests of your ruling classes King and Country!
