From RayR - Donnybrook Ottoman Artillery (70 points)

 


A little carry on from my Ottoman project that I started back in Challenge 11. Warfare Miniatures hadn't yet released artillerymen.


But they have now!


And very nice figures they are too.


I decided on two artillery pieces for the Ottomans. Just because they just look cool.




Rear shot


This gun is from Trent Miniatures.


And this ones from The Assault Group.

As for the points
10 figures @ 5pts each = 50pts
2 artillery @10pts each = 20pts

Wow, this is cool Ray. I have a lot of hangups when it comes to painting artillery - the spoked wheels, and in general, just not being too sure what is what on these old guns. But you can't argue with the final results, these cannons are so neat. It seems to me that it was a particular feature of Ottoman guns to have so much art and style on the cannons - as well as having just, in general, a whole lot of cannons? These look solid Ray - nice stuff.

    1. That's the great thing about the Ottoman's, there's no colour code to follow.

  11. Lovely work, Ray, proper guns and gunners and suitably bright Ottoman colours. You could have cut off the sponges and bunged a couple of skulls on top of those rammers for extra points, I hear skulls are big this year.
    Cheers,

  12. Great stuff Ray! Beautiful paint job, as always. I don’t even need to read a title to know an entry are your troops, I can tell just by the style of brushwork and basing.
