A True Lockdown Treat

I was at the Games Day where the Big Toof River diorama was unleashed and can remember seeing the relatively small contingent of a new form of Guardsman about to be overwhelmed by Orks.  

I had seen a selection of the Praetorians a couple of weeks earlier as the manager of my local GW had some of them to be painted up for the display.

Now, courtesy of eBay, I've taken delivery of the White Dwarf that contains the Last Stand At Glazer's Creek scenario that pitches a decreasing number of Praetorian Guard against waves of Orks as inspired by the battle of Rorke's Drift as Big Toof River was by the Battle of Isandlwana.

The scenario is so beloved of GW that the old Citadel Journal had a version featuring Mordian Iron Guard and, more recently, White Dwarf replayed the battle using Ventrilian Nobles.


Take the phone of the hook and wallow in some nostalgia.
