Miniature guide for the GrimGuard line by [[:Category:StationForge|Station Forge]], and [[Grimdark Future]] faction [[Human Defense Force]].

[https://forgemasterminiatures.com/station-forge/?v=0b3b97fa6688 Website]

NOTE: While the "GrimGuard" line is most closely associated with the aesthetics of the HDF they have other named units which alter the appearance (for example the Frostwatch all wear fur coats and snow gear) which function equally for OPR and will be included as well
