And indeed, hot on the heels of the new company we released this morning (The Bloody Thistle) comes fiction from my co-conspirator Field Marshal Sir Charles Napier Murton...

This Wikipedia article has photographs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_Guard

If you take some Landsknecht figures and add some Victorian weapons you should get the right effect  :D

you're a genius ... i have a batch of perfect figs , morion, breastplate, fantasy figs ... i'll try to paint 2 or 3 figs

My copy of HVF arrived today. Plenty of inspiration inside - perhaps too much inspiration?

I'll use the animal and demon stats to help me with the listing for my werewolf company. After that I guess I'll have to put together a company from this book - probably the Temlpars first, as I have most of the figures I need.

Also noticed the first error almost immediately - at the bottom of the table of vehicle stats in 2.3.3 is a note stating vehicles marked with * have a crewman included, but none of the listed vehicles are marked with *. So which vehicles do or don't have a free crewman?

It's on the Cost column.

My copy arrived today from Northstar.  :D

Is there a reason it's printed upside down and back to front?

Ray, I think that means you're supposed to read it while sitting in a chair on the opposite side of the room.
