More artillery, this time its for the Austrian's defending Vienna.
There are 6 Austrian artillerymen, I will paint a few more later.
They are all Essex Miniatures apart from the chap on the left who's from Dixon Miniatures.
These two artillery pieces are painted up in Austrian colours. I'm not sure what make the one on the left is. The larger gun is from Warlord.
What a boring uniform all dark grey, shouldn't grumble though, they were a doddle to paint!
I was going to paint this small gun in the yellow of Austria, but decided to go for a beige colour.
Then it could be used anywhere in my Donnybrook collection.
But here it is with the Austrians anyway.
6 figures @ 5pts each = 30pts
3 artillery pieces @10pts 30pts
Total 60 pts

Nice to see the defenders of Vienna getting some artillery support, especially after you were adding to the Ottoman artillery park the other week. I agree the grey isn't perhaps the most inspiring uniform colour for the artillery crew, but it does set off the snappy yellow of the Hapsburg gun carriages quite well in my opinion - although perhaps I am just biased in favour of Austrians :)
Nice work Ray!

Nice artillery, Ray! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Tamsin.
Deletecool stuff Ray. Ar you planning to build a scale model of Vienna:)
ReplyDeleteYes, we need to have some terrain for these fellow to fight over. :) Great work on the artillery and crews, Ray!
DeleteCheers chaps and no I'm not......or maybe I will?
DeleteCool set of artillery. The grey uniforms look quite good imho. No sense drawing attention to yourself with a bright, flashy set of clothes, especially when you have barrels of gunpowder nearby.
ReplyDeleteToo true!
DeleteVery nice artillery!
ReplyDeleteThank you Natasha.
DeleteVery nice guns and crew! The grey might be boring, but looks good next to yellow guns!
ReplyDeleteSure does Teemu.
DeleteYou really did well on those dark uniforms, they are the devil to get right for sure.
ReplyDeleteThe savoir is the ink Sander.
DeleteGreat work Ray.
ReplyDeleteCheers Peter.
DeleteGreat looking guns and gunners !
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
These are great, Ray. With their broad hats, black clothes, and white neckerchiefs, they have a very puritan look to them, like they've brought a cannon to a prayer meeting. Always a pleasure to see your eclectic entries.
ReplyDeleteCheers, MikeP
Lovely guns, Ray.
