After all the fun of actually using my Renaissance Army, I thought it might be nice to add some more figures to collection. I only had two guns available for the game I hosted last month, so it seemed a good area to complete.
Firstly, I completed a third Demi-cannon. This is from Wargame's Foundry and is a very nice looking piece. In addition, the crewmen come with dynamic and interesting poses. I went with the red and black color scheme to set it off from the other two.
I was unable to locate the casualty figures I had done prior to this army's debut game. Now that I have located them, I decided to mount them on circular bases to make them a little more noticeable. I intend to use them as disorder markers for the next outing with Advanced Impetus. I may need to order a couple more packs from Caliver Books, however.

Joining them is a Foundry Great Gun. I have left all of my Artillery loose on the stands in order to allow me to swap out the guns depending on the game. I am planning on picking up some organ guns in the future, and also have a mixture of old Games Workshop Empire artillery piece that can serve as Organ Guns and Mortars in a pinch.

Most impressive battery, Renaissance is wonderful for this kind of unit, and you did a great job with it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil
DeleteNice work on the guns and crew! The French could have put a couple of these to good use in our game.
ReplyDeleteGreat disordered markers!
I think their heavy cavalry was a nice counter point. I am looking forward to trying some better combined arms forces in the future however.
DeleteGreat looking artillery and casualties. I think Empire stuff would fit right in too.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I hope the Empire stuff fits as they currently comprise 50% of my Handgunners..
DeleteI like the crew figures; there isn't a huge variety of these available for this era. The casualty figures are great, too. Who is the manufacturer for them?
ReplyDeleteFinally Organ guns just scream "Renaissance", although they were probably used principally in defensive positions rather than in the field (which certainly doesn't stop us from using them there!).
The casualty figures are from Artizan Designs. I picked them up relatively cheaply from Caliver Books.
DeleteAs for Organ guns, they look cool and therefore should be used.
