Nice work there Rob!
Of course they sing "Men of Harlech" going into battle I presume? ;-)
and say "Whose gun is this rifle?"

Theres more, I dunno how to edit
My army has 1 comms unit, and every unit is lead by a standard bearer. The army's leader is in a Ape suit.
The army is also supported by numerous Skinnie advisors depending on the size of battle.
Heres a bit of fluff:
'r Cymraeg Chwmni had jyst 'n diriog acha Kledathu , 'r 'n flaen beth canfuan was addoed , ymhobman. Chopynnau were yn cropian ar 'r fynyddoedd. Aniyron , arweinydd chan 'r 2nd Cymraeg MI platoon bloeddiedig , ca 'u 'ch epaod! am 'r briga chan eiddo lais , i maes arllwysedig filoedd chan 'n dalgryf , bydew 'n hyfforddus filwyr , 'n barod achos brwydra. 'r chopynnau ewyllysia edifara hwy bob amser brofedig at rhuthra Cymraeg ddyn!

ah come on I can only ask for the toilet and answer a phone in Welsh!
You should learn the language of heaven for something other than knowing 'wheres the toilet' seeing as just about every welshman speaks english I barely know welsh (I use dictionaries), If someone speaks to me in it Im like, wha?
' group Welsh Company seed just ' heartburn landed astride Kledathu , ' group ' heartburn point thing they saw servant death , everywhere. Spiders were creeping signs ' group mountains. Aniyron , guide with ' group 2nd Welsh dread shouted , I have have gone ' dogs apes! about ' group I top with his voice , out poured thousands with ' heartburn sturdy , well ' heartburn trained soldiers , ' heartburn ready because I battle. ' group spiders I will I repent they always proved to I rush Welsh man!'
Which means:
The Welsh Company had just landed on Klendathu, the first thing they saw was death, everywhere. Arachnids were scuttering over the mountains. Anniyron, the commander of the second MI squad shouthed 'Get them you Apes!' at the top of his voice, and then out poured thousands of sturdy, well trained soldiers poured from the bellies of hundreds of landing boats. Those arachnids won't live to see the day they wished they didn't rush a Welshman!
Welsh is hard to translate...

But I can read a little bit to get the idea, its something about klendathu, 2nd company, err MI platoon, bob and ! , go job on the troopers and, hmm where have I seen that flag? Perhaps in a dictionary somewhere lolDoctor Warlock

Way to go, Rob! Very original idea. I'm thinking of painting a squad bright red and calling them the Ganymede Expeditionary Force.

very , very cool 8) 8)
Had thought of doing something similar for my next batch (being a Rob and from North Wales) as I wanted a unit of Welsh Fusiliers / guard.
Was thinking of a red tunic look originally, with the or maybe Ich dien or Cymru am Byth on the flags / chest plate for the guards
then again could use the Prince of wales feathers
Also thinking of a Scots unit for my best mate who has done a load of painting for me recently
wow, nice to see another person on here proud of their Welsh heritage. I might sculpt my command squad like you have just suggested. If you can find photos or drawings of what you mean, I'd be very happy.

Wikipedia have some links and the regimental museums websites might help
if in doubt hit google and try images
remember you may need the other spelling of welsh i.e. welch

Families as North as you can get, born and brought up just outside of Bangor, or on Angelsey.
Left in the 1989 to go to uni, pop back a few time a year to see friends and family though and still miss the mountains big time
