well delayed first post of the year... this really highlights how unreliable I am in my posting.
Anyway last week I was rummaging in the assorted bits boxes. I found these lovely Foundry chaps in one of the boxes of primed miniatures. Basically I forgot to have primed them! This is the downside of going back and forth from two countries, sometime I start a project have to go away, forgot that the project has started and the miniatures had been primed...). You can even retort this is the downside of having kilos of unpainted miniatures.
Anyway I decided to reduce the amount of primed white metal. I like paint the old Perry sculpts from foundry, and I am slowly building a second War of the Roses retinue, mainly for Lion Rampant. I also wanted to try round bases instead of my usual rectangular ones for artillery.
Considering I did everything (painting the gunners and the guns, putting them on the base and gluing the sand) yesterday morning and today I painted the base... well I am satisfied of the quick project.
It will be a nice objective for Lion Rampant scenarios, or something more dangerous (for the enemy or for its owner it is still to determine!). The gun does not look very safe at close distance, but it will be nice as a siege weapon. I really like the master gunner figure. It is full of character and was fun to paint.
