Well, actually three of them, but let's not be picky. You may have noticed that it was a tad warm last week, almost warm enough to tempt you to take off your vest perhaps? Not the sort of weather here in GHQ conducive to painting much, even less for cleaning up new figures and such? A good job then that rifling through the old Lead Pimple I found these bits ready for the Brush of Doom. Six mantlets from Wargames Foundry and three figures from Perry Miniatures which I have wrangled into three bases I can use in Italian Wars or Wars of the Roses games to afford some cover for the smaller guns, or combined with Chevaux des frise to provide defences in a seige game ~
Not as striking as those which come as a part of Perry Miniatures large bombard set - which you might recall I bought by accident - but a useful addition to the tabletop battlefield ephemera of two wargames collections ~I thought that I should add some closer pictures of each base/set just for completion ~I think the figures are sufficiently generic to pass in both collections. We just need an excuse to get one or other of them out on the tabletop battlefield here in GHQ for a game in the coming weeks...







Ideal for a relieve the siege scenario I perchance to wonder?
ReplyDeleteWhy not? We'll discuss our schedule next month at our first meeting.
DeleteThey look marvellous David. You have brought out the grain in the wood really well!

Very nicely done there David and they could certainly work well for both periods IMHO. Nice additions of the figures on the bases, which gives them a bit more life as it were. As Phil has said, perfect for a sally forth to destroy them during a siege, or something akin to this.
