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 ~
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!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes, James
Thank you James!
DeleteVery 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.
ReplyDeleteIt seems that an idea for a game is forming a life of its own...
DeleteThey're nicely done, I do like the idea or leaving a gap for a gonne to shoot through. I might've gone for making the bases not so deep but I guess the base depth is driven by the rules for field defences?
ReplyDeleteWell done and basic enough to serve in many eras.
