Due to waiting on the LBMS/Victrix pavaise transfers being delivered by Royal Mail I've been progressing the Light Artillery piece and crew figures I sourced via Ebay. The base of the figures are marked Grenadier, not a brand I'm familiar with. The sculpting style is bold and clear which, coupled with my new spectacles, has made painting them quite a straightforward process. To the set I've added a spare figure from the Wargames Foundry medieval artillery crew blister pack as it seemed to me that it fitted in nicely with the overall look of the base ~
I should be able to showcase the two bases of mercenary crossbowmen in a day or so once I can process the pavaise to finish up the bases. Keep an eye out for them, if the project still holds any interest for you of course.
BOOM, BOOM! Has Baldrick once poetically put it. A very fine addition with a dynamic looking crew, why do the majority of gun crews one finds look like they are waiting around for orders?
ReplyDeleteWell, as mine seldom score any hits its safe to say their orders never arrived!
DeleteGrenadier Late Medievals were sculpted by Mark Copplestone. The range is currently produced by Mirliton in Italy (look under 28mm Fantasy Humans). Not uncommon secondhand, which is where most of mine are from).
ReplyDeleteThanks for the information Anthony, always good to have input.
DeleteBoom indeed! A great set of figures to go with the gun.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ray!
DeleteGreat little artillery piece David!
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated Christopher. Thanks!
DeleteNice looking figures, not seen them before and they make a lovely artillery set, great work on them, lovely addition to your project.
ReplyDeleteI found them on Ebay, as I said, amongst other period offerings. More on those later...
DeleteA nice addition for your forces there David:). Nice touch with the water slopping out of the bucket as the chap covers his ear.
ReplyDeleteDifficult stuff to paint water I've found down the years, still unsure I get it right.
DeleteStunning paintjob!
ReplyDeleteVery kind Bartek, thanks!
