Les Grognards Heavy Weapons and Command

They've finally arrived.

Three boxes of Wargames Atlantic's Les Grognards Command and Heavy Support.

The original Les Grognards Infantry box packed a lot onto small sprues but was slightly lacking in variety.  For a squad sergeant, the only option was for either a pistol or a sword to be carried because both were mounted on right arms.  To have a figure with sword and pistol would require some cutting and regluing.

I'll add more photos soon but the new box comes with officer heads along with a left hand sword option, a power fist and parts for standard bearers and medics. Additionally there are sniper rifle parts.

The main meat of the boxes though are the support weapons.Each box comes with three sprues allowing six teams to be made up.  All can be armed the same or a mixture of four types. 

There are only three of each carriage though so even if you choose to go for six mortars, they will be mounted differently.

The five teams below are a mixture of an energy type weapon at the front (lascannon?) and a triple barreled weapon at the back (autocannon or heavy bolter?).  At the front is the wheeled carriage with the tripod at the back.

The crazy option is this bubble mount quad gun thing (either autocannon or heavy bolter.  Maybe a multi laser?)

The final weapon type is a magazine fed mortar.

 

So far I've built up five weapons to add to the Infantry Platoon squads with the quad guns and the mortars line up to be Heavy Weapon squads.  

I'm sequestered at home at the moment so, precipitation notwithstanding, there may be a chance to get some painting done for these bad boys.

One last thing. If you're mad for female wargames figures, each sprue contains one female version of each of the head types that comes with the infantry box namely Napoleonic Infantry, Old Guard Bearskin, Foreign Legion kepi and Adrian Helmet.
