I was waiting for some figures to dry, so I could base them, so I thought I'd give some of the artillery needed for the battle a quick lick of paint.Somehow I ended up painting it all!
So here we have 10 bases, giving me 20 pieces of Portuguese artillery.
I looked high and low for what colour the guns should be, but couldn't find anything, so I went with natural wood.
With grey artillerymen
Next up we have the Spanish. 6 bases giving me 12 artillery
Blue guns and a dark blue uniform, can you see the red cuffs?
Me neither, coz I didn't paint them!!
Not sure why the French artillery look brown in this pic, they are red.
5 bases, giving me 10 artillery
Can you spot the deliberate mistake?
You might see it here better?
Answers on a postcard to..........
Lastly 3 bases of 6 English guns.
So that my friends, is both sides artillery for the Battle of Almansa
24 bases @ 2.5 points each
Total 60 pts
Quite an artillery park! So, why did you base one of the limbers wrong way around?
ReplyDeleteCoz I'm an idiot!
DeleteStill so tiny! Impressed you can paint them.
ReplyDeleteSeeing them is a bonus!
DeleteMost impressive and when deployed I have to admit they look quite impressive.
ReplyDeleteThey do Graham, if I say so myself.
DeleteThe oddmanout limber is very brave and is rushing to the fight!
ReplyDeleteCrazy Frenchmen!
DeleteA very impressive array of artillery Ray, they look great.
ReplyDeleteThanks Donnie!
DeleteVery nicely done Ray. Perhaps the errant limber has forgotten their lunch?
ReplyDeleteThink you could be right Lawrence!
DeleteWell done Ray. You can have an artillery duel now.
ReplyDeleteYup!
DeleteThat's a heck of a lotof guns and limbers (unsurprigly at this scale !)
ReplyDeleteJust a few Joe, just a few.
DeleteLots of guns. A surprising amount of detail for 2mm figures. They look spiffing old chap.
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you Sir!
DeleteI am disappointed about the lack of red cuffs Ray - personally, I would dock you 25% of your challenge points for that one! As for the limber, well, we all make mistakes - just look at my last two posts re the 2eme Lanciers de la Ligne.....!
ReplyDeleteI do apologise Keith. I shall paint them on in the next batch.
