So, I've just finished listening to The Ashes of Prospero and one of the things that surprised me was how the members of the Space Wolves 13th Great Company seemed to show regret at their actions on Prospero after they realized that Horus gave them the order to destroy Prospero and the Thousand Sons legion.

I know that the Emperor had originally ordered Russ to simply bring Magnus back to Terra and that it was Horus who changed the order to destroy the Thousand Sons, but I had thought that the Space Wolves dispised the Thousand Sons enough to not care about whether they exterminated them all or not or who the order came from, but this does not seem to be the case. Bulveye, the 13th Great Company leader even says that Thousand Sons could've been an ally to the loyalists during the Horus Heresy if it were not for Horus' orders.

#OTD in 1969 – The British Army was deployed on the streets in the north of Ireland, which marked the beginning of 'Operation Banner'.

Following on from the Peoples Democracy march of 1st January 1969 from Belfast to Derry and the subsequent rioting in the Bogside and other towns in the north of Ireland, the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association and its supporters were openly condemned by the Government of Northern Ireland as being manipulated by communists, republicans and socialists. The government openly supported the…

TURNsgiving day 3: I had a hard time figuring out what to do with this one so I figured I just say I would have 100% been a patriot without a doubt. But my ancestors were actually not taking sides (Which was fair considering they had just come from Europe trying to get away from the British, and the patriots had apparently beat them to try to get them to sign up so yeah) besides one cousin who was actually a loyalist and joined the army and my ancestor stole his land after he had to go back to Europe after the war lmao.

One Hero and 17 Rescinders

I am staying in my family’s house in York Harbor for the month of June, mostly writing with occasional breaks for gardening and sightseeing. But you know me: I can never really get away from Salem! On this past Saturday, a single word was uttered which provided me with a connecting link between my hometown and my principal place of residence: rescinders. This is not a word you come across often,…

A Game of Thrones, Eddard II

The war had raged for close to a year.

Lords great and small had flocked to Robert’s banners; others had remained loyal to Targaryen.

The mighty Lannisters of Casterly Rock, the Wardens of the West, had remained aloof from the struggle, ignoring calls to arms from both rebels and royalists.

Aerys Targaryen must have thought that the gods had answered his prayers when Lord Tywin Lannister appeared before the gates of King’s Landing with an army twelve thousand strong, professing loyalty.

So the Mad King had ordered his last mad act. He had opened his city to the lions at the gate.

What better way than to start your week with a new Don Troiani artwork? Depicted is a private of the United Corps of Pennsylvania & Maryland Loyalists at Pensacola, West Florida.

Both the Pennsylvania and the Maryland Loyalists were raised as separate regiments in Philadelphia 1777, during the British occupation of the city. They were combined, rather unhappily it seems, into one outfit of six companies in 1778. Under the command of Lieutenant Colonel William Allen they were and sent first to Jamaica and then, from December 1779, to Pensacola in West Florida, to aid in operations against the Spanish.

They took part in the failed relief of Mobile in March 1780 and the assault on Mobile Village on January 7 1781. They were then part of the garrison of Pensacola when it was besieged and captured by the Spanish later that year.

The prisoners were taken to Havana and then repatriated to New York a few months later, and formally returned to duty – as two separate units once more – in July 1782. The Pennsylvanian and Maryland Loyalists spent the last year of the war garrisoning New York. The Maryland Loyalists were last mustered in December 1783, while the Pennsylvanians were disbanded on October 10 1783.

Provincial Loyalist corps are often depicted as wearing green, but by the mid point of the war and beyond most wore red coats, with only a few notable exceptions, such as the British Legion and the Queen’s Rangers. This was for ease of supply, and likely also helped make the Loyalists feel more thoroughly incorporated into the British military, while also causing opponents to believe they were facing British regulars.

The Pennsylvania-Maryland corps appears to have had green or olive facings with white lace plus yellow and green threads based on the lace of the Loyal Irish Regiment. I think the black leatherwork here (usually reserved for light infantry) is because the belts are store-issued from a “stand of arms.”

Also note how high on the torso the cartridge pouch and bayonet frog and scabbard are worn, in contrast to how low-down many reenactors wear them – an accurate historical touch, as befits Troiani’s work!

Recently posted this guy as a WIP just needing his bolt pistol painted. Now he's done, thought I'd show a pointless painting timeline.

Ah, good old-fashioned United Empire Loyalists' Association of Canada pumpkin pie.

It really says in my Loyalists at Table cookbook, "Canada's United Empire Loyalists were the first to come up with the idea for pumpkin pie." A quick internet search throws doubt on that claim, but Canadians may have published some of the first printed recipes.

This is the same cookbook my wife accused me of using to "secretly" feed her Loyalist food, as if after a bite or two you turn into Benedict Arnold, but as a New Englander these recipes are familiar to me since they come from the same cultural roots. As I've discovered when trying to replicate recipes mentioned in Captain Marryat's novels—the food of Old England from 200+ years ago is a lot like the traditional food of New England. Our countries have since diverged in more modern cuisine from the influences of different immigrants and different cultural experiences. But the Loyalist food/traditional English food tastes like dinner at a New England Congregational Church.

Loyalists at Table feels like old church lady recipes in more ways than one. (It claims to be 18th century in inspiration but then tells you to do things like put Miracle Whip on fish.) The pumpkin pie recipe explains that "Darlene likes to use her own fresh pumpkin in this recipe and substitutes carnation milk [sic] for the regular milk."

Maybe I should have used Carnation brand sweetened condensed milk instead of scalded milk, the pie isn't very sweet. But we have whipped cream and vanilla ice cream and I don't foresee a problem eating the rest of the pie.

#OTD in Irish History | 12 July:

1660 – Sir Mark Rainsford was the 36th Lord Mayor of Dublin from 1700 to 1701. During this period the statue of King William of Orange on College Green was unveiled by him, a monument which would become a centre of protest and celebration for generations in the capital. Rainsford was also the original founder of the brewery at St. James’ Gate, which would later become the Guinness Brewery.…
