I've moaned about painting up limbers and teams before - I hate doing them ! , there's quite a bit of work goes into gluing them up (they NEVER fit properly and there's NEVER a method of fixing the limber to the horses !), BUT when they're done I think they look good and add something to the game and I can point them out to my wargaming colleague 'A' and humiliate him as he never paints any for his armies !. Here is the one for my Piedmontese Artillery .
As 'A' is calling round for a game tonight I had to crack on and get some Piedmontese Generals done . Here we see a Brigadier and the CinC with Aide de Camp . Hopefully I will remember to take photos of the action as this is the first outing for my Piedmontese and Papal armies .
And a fine looking limber it is! Good luck to both sides and I do hope you remember pictures!
ReplyDeleteYes I'll try - I get carried away with the action and forget though ! , Tony
DeleteGood work, and good luck with the humilation card.
ReplyDeleteI've played it before - thing he may be impervious to it know ! , Tony
DeleteNothing like a bit of swingletree action. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteImpressive when done a pain to do , Tony
DeleteVery handsome - lovely job. This is a most attractive set up.
ReplyDeleteThank you - fast becoming one of my favourite periods , Tony
DeleteI have nothing but respect for anyone who spends time painting limbers - well done!
ReplyDeleteWhen I reach ' Wargaming Heaven' they show stand me in good stead !, Tony
DeleteSuper effort on the Artillery Limber and Generals- look forward to your pix of Battle. KEV.
ReplyDeleteA battle report should be appearing soon , Tony
DeleteI don't care much for painting limbers either but I do it for most of my collections.
ReplyDeleteYour effort is well worth it!
They do look good on the table - but are a pain ! , Tony
DeleteLooks smart Tony. I keep telling myself that I don't need a Papal/Neapolitan army and then I keep thinking of Dumas on the Emma...
ReplyDeleteI find you have to find uses for them once you have them.
What rules did you use? BP?
I use 'Black Powder' as I can remember the rules without to much of a struggle , Tony
