From Mike W - 25mm Medieval Guns and Crew (55 Points, +1 Squirrel Point)

This is another lucky find in my drawers, I remember buying these figures from eBay a few years back when I was doing a War of the Roses project, they looked just great online but when they arrived they were clearly 25mm figures and not 28mm as advertised.

The two Bombards in position 

They went straight into the drawer, only to be rescued last week with a view to painting them up!

There are two guns, each on wooden frames and three crewmen for each, plus an Artillery Train commander - who I have based separately.

Nearly forgot to take a snap of these figures prior to starting the painting work

Everything was given a white undercoat before painting up the gun frames and barrels separately. The brown wood frames were washed in Army Painter Strong Tone ink and the gunmetal barrels were washed in Dark Tone.

Close-up on the first gun and crew

Crewmen were painted in various, mostly muted tones and then washed with assorted Army Painter Inks to give some shading before I went back to highlight as needed.

Basing was achieved with fine sand and electrostatic grass.

And the second gun and crew!

Squirrel Points should now total 14!

(10) 28mm = Dr Who, Zombies, Cossacks, Undead Orcs, ECW Scots, Cheyenne Braves, Classic Orc Archers, Lizardmen, Dark Age Normans, Ottoman Artillery 

(2) 25mm = Medieval Artillery, WW2 Infantry, 

(1) 20mm = WW2 Sherman Tanks & RAM

(1) 12mm = ACW Infantry

POINTS

2 x 25mm Guns    = 20 Points

7 x 25mm Foot     = 35 Points

Another resurrection project, and this time not from the grave.  Some veteran medievals Mike, they have an old Minifig vibe to some of the faces.  They've painted up nicely and I like the basing and posing.  Other arms will likely keep a healthy distance from those bombards out of self preservation, so you can likely field them with a 28mm army without them looking totally out of whack with proper spacing.
