Confederate Limbers...

 ...enhanced by the addition of a handful of figures, hopefully to create a more interesting look on the tabletop battlefield. 

The additional figures are from Dixon Miniatures of course and the flag is a spare GMB Designs one. The original Limbers were done so far back in the midst of time that I can only assume they are also from Dixon Miniatures! The other figure is from 1st Corps I'm sure. The bases are from Warbases, as ever.

I'd three ACW figures left in the Lead Pimple so I've painted them up to represent a Command element for some Dismounted Union Cavalry. If you don't look too closely they will pass muster I think.

For the first time in many, many months I have no more ACW figures lurking in the Lead Pimple! Is this the End of Days I wonder...?

    Great work there David and I particularly like the damaged liber, which is a nice touch. Let's hope it's not the end of days just yet...

    Splendid looking limbers David…
    The end of days only happens when you have nothing left in your lead mountain/pimple…
    Best buy some more toys … just in case.😁

    All the best. Aly

    Well only one thing to do if you painted up all your ACW .....and that of course is to buy more and put the universe back in order. Lovely looking artillery and command David btw.

      Thank you George. I imagine back in the day Phil probably did the wrecking for me, but I can't remember now.
