From RayR - Austrian Artillery 1683 (60 points)

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!
