E.I.C. Artillery battery

 The latest elements to stagger off the painting desk and into GHQ for my Tales from Pendawar project are a couple of guns and crew from the Perry Miniatures' Napoleonic British in Egypt range. I did think about changing the guns for the standard look or even ordering some 12lb guns from AWM, but in the end I decided it didn't annoy me enough to justify the expense, so here they are, No1 Battery, E.I.C. Foot Artillery ~

And here on the table in GHQ with the other bits I've painted by the end of February for the project ~

Now it's on to the Pendawar Fusiliers next!
