Last week I posted up two artillery pieces, this week its their limbers.
The models are a bit of a mix? The limbers are MDF and from Warbases, while the horses are from Redoubt Miniatures.
I wanted the bases to mimic the pill bases that myself and Lee used for our cavalry, so I ordered some in from Warbases once again.
The guns in the pics don't count, they're just for show, so its 20 pts for the 4 horses at 5pts each
and whatever Curt or the Minion in charge wants to give me for the 2 limbers. I'd say 5 for each??
Next up, we have two abandoned wagons.
This one is a 3D print that I bought from a model shop in Dartford.
And I've no clue where this one comes from?
Its metal and pretty heavy, it may be an old Minifigs model, but I'm not sure?
I plan to do loads of these type of abandoned wagons for the Retreat, but only managed these two and of course the one dead horse.
I'll claim 10 points each for the wagons and 3 for half a horse??
Talking of horses, here are another 3 dead ones.
They're all from Tiger Miniatures, that me and Lee picked up at Warfare last year.
Again I'll claim 3 pts each for them. So in total
30pts for limbers and teams.
23 for the wagons and horse &
9 for the dead horses
Making a grand total of 62pts
-------------
I feel chilly just looking at these Ray! Since moving to Hawaii I haven't even considered putting on a jumper never mind jacket or scarf :-)
I've really enjoyed watching you and Lee building your project together over this challenge, and hope it delivers you both much fun on the tabletop when you finally get it there

Nice painting and basing. These will look great on your battlefields.
ReplyDeleteI hope so, Tom.
DeleteOh Ray... You have 4 prone horses, each worth 2.5 points for a total of 10 points. But you round them up before the sum and get 12 points. :)
ReplyDeleteExcellent brushwork, but you do understand why I didn't give you any free points? ;)
Your still my favourite Fin, Termu.
DeleteGreat painting again - really like the abandoned wagons and dead horses. I must get some of these. as can use in Silver Bayonet skirmish games in which we are adopting a Russian Winter setting for the games.
ReplyDeleteYep, go for it Jez!
DeleteExcellent Ray . Good to see the you adding in this stuff too
ReplyDeleteCheers Dave. Lots more still to do though.
DeleteThis has been a really remarkable project Ray - and you have achieved a "feels a lot like outside in Canada" look and feel to your winter effects here, so I hope you are happy with that!
ReplyDeleteI'm very pleased with the results, it's worked out exactly how I'd hoped it would.
DeleteGreat additions to the collection Ray - I especially like the carts.
ReplyDeleteThose abandoned carts and dead horses are so evocative.
ReplyDeleteFantastic Ray, loving the carts
ReplyDeleteGreat work again, Ray! Those mdf limbers look really nice, but the wagons really do it for me. Very evocative, well done!
