From BenG - 20mm Württemberg Horse Artillery (23 Points)

Hi, all! Another year, another Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge!

Most of you have jumped out of the blocks with entries already, but I am starting slowly with a very modest target of 400 points. As I don't have the pressure of getting a corps ready for our big January game, I'm taking it slowly with what I really want to focus on, this time it's my Württemberg project.

I had a battalion of infantry half done when the starting gun was fired, so I can't enter them in the challenge, but my first battery of artillery made the cut! The gun and figures are all 1/72nd plastic from HäT set 8232. The ammunition carrier has a head conversion using the metal conversion heads from Franznap after I used several artillery heads in a conversion experiment to produce some Bavarian cavalry for last year's Borodino project.

I was a bit heavy handed with the varnish shading, so the uniforms are a lot darker than I was hoping for, but I'm happy with overall result.

From Curt:
Welcome back Ben! It's always a pleasure to see your work in 20mm (1/72) plastics. This gun team looks wonderful and I particularly like your signature smoke from your portfire artillerist. What is the game this January? Leipzig or a battle from the 1814 campaign? Judging from seeing last year's Borodino game this one should be a feast for the eyes as well.

This gun team will give you a base of 20 points but I'm giving you some extra for the head swaps.  Well done.
