From DaveD - ACW Union Artillery (195 points)

Over this challenge most of my collections will have had some new additions.  This week it is back to 10mm ACW. I am planning a big ACW game later in the year and will be providing a lot of the forces for both sides .  The first top up is for the Union artillery to fill them out my existing ones to full 3 gun model batteries (currently using 2 - with one gun model = 2 real) and take me towards 16 full batteries each complete with a limber. There are a range of different gun types right up to big mortars. 

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!
