This time I did an Austrian 6pdr with limber.
I've never done limbers for my artillery, I've always just wanted to get on with it, I mean a limber doesn't add a unit, the so it's just money and time I could spend on more cannon, infantry or cavalry
But it does look good with a limber, I don't think I'll use limbers for my Napoleonic project. Given the batteries are like 3-6 cannon and I'll have like 2 or 3 batteries. But for my SYW project and maybe my GNW project it will be easier given less cannon. I plan on adding an ammo wagon. Having this equipment not only looks good but adds to the footprint of the artillery, which is realistic.
A big kudos to Minden and Jim, for going above and beyond in customer service.
Great painting and good use of the computer for a backdrop. I agree limbers don't seem to add much to the game but once done do look cool on the table.
ReplyDeleteThanks, yes I've been convinced that I need to add limbers and ammo wagons to my SYW for starters. It's only 5 guns so far in the project. So not that much work.
DeleteNice gun and limber team :)

DeleteIt's the best painting of Austrian artillery uniforms I ever have seen! And a great atmosphere at the pictures - bravo!

Thanks, it's foundry rich butternut A, mixed with black, then a little less black and then by itself.
