Boom! Boom!

A short post today reassuring my loyal reader that my Wars of the Roses project is moving along still, despite the occasional hand and eye and lurgy issue. I've managed to complete another light artillery piece and crew, this time using figures from the venerable Wargames Foundry {ex-Citadel?} Medieval range. I thought that a couple of the figures from the set didn't really fit with this piece, so I've put them aside to add to the Bombard base - the last set I plan to paint for the project! The base of course is from Warbases, as usual ~

This gives the collection two light artillery pieces which are capable of featuring for both the Red Rose and the White, as game scenarios dictate. I rather like the look of another Light Artillery set I've seen on Ebay,  so warchest permitting I may add that at some point. Meanwhile its on with a base of mercenary pikemen! Oh joy! Oh rapture!

  1. Boom, boom, boom, BOOM! I like the chap peering, will he see the target more than the the ones we usually see in the table😂

  3. Nice artillery base, venerable figure but still look the part, the guy holding his ears is a cracker! The guy peering looks great as well, trying to see through the smoke to see if they have hit anything!
