Too long since the last post (again...) but here's something I realised I hadn't yet posted any photos of - the first of some limbers for the 20mm Naps collection, in this case for the Prussians.
The set from Newline Designs actually comes with 6 horses and 3 riders, but in order to keep the footprint of the base down I decided to just use 2 riders.
Limbers never felt like a priority when I was building up the armies, but I've definitely got enough of a core collection now to afford the time to spend on the 'nice to haves' like limbers. I'll eventually add 2 or 3 limbers each for the French and Prussians. A fairly simple paint job, but definitely looks a lot better on the tabletop than using guns turned the wrong way round.
I decided against adding any traces etc to the model. What the eye doesn't see the imagination makes up for!
Lovely … as always and a good idea to drop to a four horse team.
ReplyDeleteThanks Norm - yes, a good approach to take for any scale I think, for those of us with modest sized tables anyway.
Deletenicely done
ReplyDeleteThanks Mike!
DeleteGreat looking limbers!

Thanks Christopher :-)
DeleteVery nice and the 4-horse team looks just right!
ReplyDeleteYes, feels about right. I decided to paint up a spare cannon as well, which hooks on the back nicely when needed.
DeleteLovely work there and I too have moved towards limbers for my games, but due to space, only have two horses per limber.
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve. They do feel like a low priority luxury, but definitely nice to have once you get round to doing them.
ReplyDeleteThese limbers create a nice mini diorama!
ReplyDeleteIt is good to be able to use the bigger tufts now and again!
