Victrix British Artillery Completed
Greetings all. Just finished up the Victrix British Artillery set. Still need to base the limbers, but the main pieces are done.
From left to right: 5.5 inch Howitzer, 6 Pounder and 9 Pounder.
Apparently, the 9 Pounder wasn't in use in the Peninsular. The crew for this gun is in the post 1812 uniform with "Belgic" shako.
The bases are 85x55mm, so the crew fit around the guns quite snugly. I wanted them to have minimal fooprints for gaming.
The French batteries are now also on 85x55mm bases.
I may get a French Horse Artillery battery later. The British already have a couple of RHA.
Still have the British Light Dragoons and French Chasseurs a Cheval to work on - but I may start on a set of Perry French foot first. Thank you very much for visiting, and wishing you all the best!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Scrivs. At Enfilade! in May for sure...if not sooner.
Deletewow - these are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI painted up a set of the Victrix British arty for the War of 1812 and really liked the minis. Of course when compared to yours mine look like they were painted with water colors while outside in a rain storm.
Superb painting, as always!
Thank you very much for your kind words, Miles. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteLovely work, I agree with going for the smaller footprint.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words and interest, Norm. Warm regards, Dean
DeleteBrilliant British artillery Dean!
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly, Mike! A nice kit with 3 guns and crew can't be beat. Best regards, Dean
DeleteSuperb Artillery battery. I do like the base sizes as well. Will make them easier to use on the tabletop.
ReplyDeleteThank you much, Simon! Yes, these were built for gaming in mind. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteOutstanding Dean!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michael! Appreciate the compliment. Kind regards, Dean
DeleteThey are beautiful, Dean! I like your contrast between shade and highlight. They really pop.
ReplyDeleteAh, you're too kind, Scott. Thank you very much for your compliments. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteVery nice, Dean.
ReplyDeleteThanks, David. God willing, they'll be at Fix Bayonets next month, and then Enfilade! Next May. Kind regards, Dean
DeleteGreat looking British artillery! Lovely finish!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thank you very much, Iain. Had to get a matching set to oppose the French guns. Warm regards, Dean
DeleteSuperb Dean, like the closeness of the basing makes the crew look like they are in the line if fire.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Ross
Thank you kindly, Ross. The trickiest fitting was with the crews manhandling the guns. Best regards, Dean
DeleteExcellent work as always Dean. Looks like they stepped out of a painting.
ReplyDeleteAh, shucks, you're too kind, Jake. Thank you very much. Warm regards, Dean
DeleteThose look superb Dean! Artillery batteries always seem to take a lot of assembly and painting (and then arranging to get them looking just right). These certainly look just right -the basing is superb too!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes,
Jason
Thank you very much for your kind words, Jason. I am happy that I was able to cram them all onto the bases.;) Warm regards, Dean
DeleteFantastic work on these. Colors and the shading are spot on. Splendid!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Allan. I used Vallejo Dark Prussian Blue for the base color, and high lighted by adding a little white to the blue. Warm regards, Dean
DeleteLovely work on the artillery, Victrix make great figures in my view 😀
ReplyDeleteThanks, Matt. Yes, I agree and the latter releases, like the Middle Guard and French Artillery improved on the earlier ones; mainly in durability for gaming and ease of painting IMO. Regards, Dean
DeleteYou're a machine! Great work, Dean.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Robert! Interesting, I was thinking about how long I take between picking up a brush. Seems I work in bursts/spurts. Lately I only seem to be able to paint on weekends and not touch projects between the weekdays. Just too distracted with other things. Hopefully get on the Perry French foot tomorrow. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteUseful...and beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Phil! Yes, I needed some arty for some games coming up. Warm regards, Dean
DeleteThat’s quite some ordnance you‘ve got there! Very well done Dean.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for the kind words, much appreciated. Warm regards, Dean
