All figures are 10mm Pendraken and are finished in my usual satin varnish that i use for small scale to help the colours pop . We have been playing Alter of Freedom from LWTV over the last year - it’s given us some great games .
2 x Limber and 2x Caisson teams
Next the 6 large mortars
The 13 guns that are also completed
And here is the Union artillery park as it currently stands .
Still another 18 guns to add at some point , but at least the limbers are done in advance.
I checked back on a previous post from 4 years ago when I last did limbers for scoring these, plus there has been an upgrade in 10mm pts since then,
So here is the tally :-
gunners x 70 , unridden horses x8 = 78
mounted rider & horses x 10 = 30
guns x19 = 57
vehicles / limbers/etc x4 = 24
Seated crew on the limbers x12 = 6
total = 195 to my total, and the little things duel
more next week I think

Kaboom! That is a serious artillery park Dave, well done. As ever, I have much respect for any hobbyist who would tackle the utterly futile task of painting artillery limbers! That must be a very big game coming up indeed, and I have no doubt that it will look amazing with Pendraken figures - and that the Union commanders will be thrilled to have all of this additional firepower to assist them!
195 points of bombardment for you!

These look great! I especially love the color pop on the flags. I've been considering a glossier coat on some of my Age of Reason troops, this post sold me on the idea.
ReplyDeleteWorth a try I find it helps the look on the table top - I would suggest a Satin look as it’s just shiny enough !
DeleteGreat stuff Dave, limbers always make batteries look so much better
ReplyDeleteYou are not wrong - the upside of 10mm make this possible
Deletethey will do I suppose. You did, obviously, need loads more artillery
ReplyDeleteI do , I do ! More , more , more … you know the way
DeleteGreat mass artillery.
ReplyDeleteCheers
DeleteThat's quite a battery- those mortars are something else!
ReplyDeleteThanks - yes - not sure when they will used - but they needed to be bought!
DeleteWow, the massed artillery is awesome and the wee limbers are so cool.
ReplyDeleteCheers
DeleteExcellent. Very jealous as I’ve just started down this road. Many figures to paint. These are awesome.
ReplyDeleteEvery journey as they say
DeleteBrilliant Dave, the limbered pieces are awesome, but those mortarsare downright terrifying to look in the muzzle!
ReplyDeleteThanks - they are indeed
DeleteExcellent work Dave! I’m not fond of painting limbers but you have done a fine job on them, the standard bearers are a nice touch. And I love the mortars!
ReplyDeleteThanks - I got the idea for the standards from a you tube video from a re-enactment of a battery moving - so nicked it!
Delete10mm you say? The details is fantastic. That last picture looks very imposing, and it is t even complete yet….
ReplyDeleteYup 10mm . Very economically viable! I may be too ambitious on 16 batteries .. but something tells I need em!
DeleteCrackin work Dave!
ReplyDeleteCheers matey
