The minis all have them - but all they get are brass knuckles in the rules...

Who stole their CC thunder?

Yeah, being on the receiving end of some Free Marine Brass Knuckle Love I'd have to say no thunder was lost with that unit.

However, i just put the sword/scabbard bitz in my bin for future conversions.

They got caught using them out in town doing a shakedown scheme on several local businesses and had them taken away as punishment.  Fortunately the hid their brass knucles in their footlocker so they still have those.

After the first defeat of the Dark Legions they were turned into plow-shares. Since the Dark Legion has returned it has been discovered that swinging a plow in HtH is difficult so they found a new weapon.  ;D

They had to turn them over before they were deployed. Something about a cow, helicopter and a bonfire.

I guess my mind is fried. The cow was lifted by the helicopter to the bonfire/barbeque in Apocolypse Now.

Same as Charlie don't surf.
