I managed to get a copy of #78 of Combat Patrol which came with the Atalan Jackals. Good value at £9.99 compared to the list price for the Jackals which are £40.
I am planning to use these as Tallarn Rough Riders.
You get four bikes and a quad bike.
Thinking about getting some replacement heads for them as well.
The main focus of Bristol Conflict 2003 (was it really six years ago now) was the tournament games. Yes there was a Forge World stand and yes there were demonstration games and yes there was a very very small Games Workshop retail stand, however the main reason people went was to play games.
One Imperial Guard army which caught my eye was a Victorian Science Fiction themed army which made extensive use of the Praetorian Imperial Guard figures.
It was a really nice army. This photograph shows the Rough Riders. The mechanically enhanced soldiers in the background are counted as Ogryns which I thought was a clever idea and a nice touch.
More photographs of Imperial Guard.
Great blog on someone else’s Praetorian Imperial Guard army.

In a previous entry I showed a picture of Simon’s Rough Rider and said Luckily for my Orks, he has only one and it took him a year to finish!
Oh how wrong I was, he lied, he had in fact converted and painted a squad of them…
Nice job.
This is a Rough Rider from Simon’s Imperial Guard army.
