From DaveD - CSA Artillery - (125 points)

Following on from last weeks Union artillery top up I give you the enhancements for the Rebs. Not as many as the Union , but decent enough. My CSA batteries are 2 Gun models (for 4 actual guns). Figures etc are, as usual, 10mm Pendraken. They are again finished with thin coat of Satin Varnish 

4 limber teams and 8 guns added to my Reb force's




These take the Reb artillery park to 8 batteries only another 4 to go to get to the final tally 



Points 

8 guns = 24

32 gunners , 10 unridden horses = 42

4 vehicle/limbers = 24

10 mounted horse/riders = 30 

10 limber passengers /crew = 5 

Total 125 .to the total and the little guys duel 

***

Another fine artillery submission Dave. The Prendraken sculpts are the finest 10mm out there, and they look wonderful all done up here. 

Another 125 points for your ACW artillery park!

  1. Looking great Mr D. Clever basing using the sabots to hold both guns and li bars, must remember that one. Always good to include limbers.

  2. That is a great idea to put the artillery bases in movement trays.

  3. Wonderful work Dave. I really like the sabot tray system you've developed for these. I'm sure you've mentioned it before, but what rules are you using for your ACW games?

    1. Thanks - for the rules Altar of Freedom a consistent frontage helps and it was a good way of doing it and having the figures available for things like Pickets Charte

  7. A great looking unit. How big of a table do you need for the full corps level battle?

    1. Cheers - yes it meant I didn’t need two sizes of sabots as well

  12. Lovely work Dave as usual - what I like about limbers as well is that they give a battery real depth on the table and make them an obstacle for friendly troops
