The third, and final, training serial for the 1st Toulmore Rhyfles has completed it's Flocking Practical Performance Check and is ready for deployment.
This batch includes a second H11 LMG team.
A second Light Mortar team.

The Assistant Mortarquar is wearing a metal ammunition pack |

A better view of the metal ammunition pack. He's also making the "metal horns" sign. It resembles a Quar letter, so we've decided it is a tactical sign. |
A squad of Bombers, because I want to keep the First World War vibe going with distinct Bomber Sections. The Light Mortar section will substitute for a Rifle Grenade section.

They are carrying a mix of 3d printed, plastic and metal grenades |
The 3d printed version of Rhyfler Merch is included in the Bomber Section because he's carrying a grenade and others on his belt. His knit cap is a bit out of place, but it's an eccentricity the others ignore. Perhaps a jungle parasite is giving him the chills.
More Rhyflers.
NCOs
A Light Recoilless Rifle. This is supposed to be for the more old fashioned looking Tolly-Maeryn. But I think it's modern, light, man-pack design makes it more suitable for the technically advanced Crusaders. Also brilliant for the Jungle Warfare theme I'm going for. I just did a head swap on the Tolly-Maeryn gunners.
On the base are some extra shells set on RAFM ammunition boxes.
There is also a gun being pulled by the trail handles. I'm just waiting for a couple more heads from Don to assemble it.
I've also asked Don to print a marksquar carrying a captured Coftyran Harlech.
This brings the Company up to 34 (35 once the marksquar is done) Quar with pack beast, 1 gun with crew (in both firing and transport mode) and a tractor.
I've got them roughly organized into:
HQ Squad: Caerten, Is-Caerten, Master-Yawdryl, Quarter Master-Yawdryl (with pack Ganga), Medic, Messenger Squirrel Handler
Rhyfle Squad 1: Yawdryl with Bogen, 3x Rhyflers with Bogens, 3x Rhyflers with Rhyshis
Rhyfle Squad 2: Yawdryl with Bogen, 4x Rhyflers with Bogens, 2x Rhyflers with Ryshis
Bomber Squad: Yawdryl with Bogen, 4x Rhyflers with Bogens, all with grenades
Weapons Squad: Yawdryl with Bogen, 2x light mortars (2x crew each), 2x H11 LMGs (2x crew each)
Recoilless Rhyfle Team
Twaenhyr Light Tractor
So a strong Base of Fire and a good Maneuver Element. A bit thin on troop strength, but hopefully the extra firepower will make up for it. I figure a Rhyfle Company at the end of a long Line of Communication and suffering attrition in the jungle will be keeping as many of it's heavy weapons operating as it can.
The ferns, big leafed plantains, and tall spikey tufts are all from Gamer Grass.
