So rush over and read ‘Behind the Helm’ #4 – Bonaparte in the pirate forum!

In the hope of us all forgiving him, General Armendariz has posted his real French army. It’s actually looking really nice, and he has included 5 blue coated sigfigs too. With 40 men, this army isn’t something to spit at, in fact most AFOL armies would be running by now!
So hurry along to the Pirate forum and discuss General Armendariz’s French army to your heart’s content!

A mighty army indeed
Woody64, a true connoisseur of customs and army-building, has housed his mighty army within a neat black letter case, allowing it to be displayed in a notable and clever fashion. All his men are armed to the brim with swords and guns, ready to take on any opposing naval force. The army is completely unique, from the decals to the hats. It would be near impossible to recreate the multitude of colours and designs seen on display.

ZCerberus has done multiple rebuilds, but none as comprehensive as this. Not only has he trippled the size and changed the colors of the buildings, but this new fort, which is only the east end of the keep, is even larger than the entire original! Other new features, such as underground caves, stained-glass windows, and new tiled roofs, are abundant in the MOC, as well as a few scattered goodies – can you spot them?
Discuss the ongoing project in the Pirate forum!
