Donnybrook - 25mm Warbases Engineers Cart



Back in April at Salute, I picked up several wagons from Warbases, these were all going to
 be used in the Rejects, Donnybrook, game we were putting on at Broadside in June. 
You can see the report on the Tangiers game here
In the scenario I needed lots of wagons, but only had the time to paint up 
five, (with a lot of help from Postie!!)


At just £6 the Warbases Engineers Cart was a must.


Also included in the price was the Engineer's equipment, which just slots into the back
of the wagon.


And here's the wagon without the equipment, there's no reason why you can't use this for
any period from the Renaissance up?

I'll be adding the other wagons to my blog in the coming weeks.

  1. Nice cart but what about the black horse and black harness and metal work? Postie is slacking!

    1. I was in a bit of a rush to get the horses painted for Broadside, they were only finished the day before the show, hence the lack of paint!. Thank you both for pointing it out.....gits!

  2. As Fran point out you are spoiling the ship for a ha'peth of tar.
    I will be happy to see this finished with horse furniture. But what you have so far looks good and very useful in so many periods, as you point out.

  9. Looks great dude. It would be interesting if they did separate inserts you could then change it around more.

    1. Not sure if Warbases do them, but they'd be very easy to make yourself.

  12. Sweet cart Ray, I guess it could be used right up to 1950/60s, or even later in some theatres, even post apocalypse.

  13. Good looking bit of kit, it'll be nice to see the whole wagon train though.
