Here are two Perry English Civil War 9 pounders, one a demi-culverin and the other (Scots') a falcon.
Interesting overall size difference between the two, as they are both 9 pounders.
In addition to the 4-man Perry crews, previously painted Warlord Games officers have been added to each.
The Warlord Games officer leaning on the demi-culverin fits perfectly onto the trail arm. The two makes match up very nicely together - in both size and sculpting style.
I based the tartan on the Covenanter guy holding the sponge on the MacAlister clan's pattern as I wanted a red base for it.
Next up are some Warlord Games Cuirassiers - which just arrived yesterday. Great timing! Thanks for stopping by and wishing you all the best in health and hobby!
Beautiful battery Dean!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much again, Michal. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteNice cannons sir! Your speed of painting is extremely high!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for your kind words, much appreciated. I use staining over block painting, followed by some highlights. Works well for these figures. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteBlock painting? What the kind of technic is it?
DeleteJust basic painting of the main areas, with no shading or highlights. These are applied after the staining. The staining helps define the areas more readily.
DeleteVery interesting, thanks!
DeleteWhat a wonderful peiord...and what a great job, gorgeous artillery!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Phil. I do enjoy this period as the clothing is simple, yet with an elegant look. And the choice of colors pretty much up to you. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteThere were no clan tartans in the 17th Century. Clan tartans are a Victorian invention.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Simon. Just wanted a pattern which contrasted the gray. Best, Dean
DeleteVery nice work on these guns, Dean.
ReplyDeleteI assume the size variety is OK for that period, there was no the one standard.
Thanks, Dmitry. I guess the smaller one would have less range, but more maneuverable. Kindest regards, Dean
Deletebeautiful work Dean adding to the collection, they are big guns !
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Matt. I do like the look of the metal reinforced wheels. Warm regards, Dean
DeleteExcellent artillery Dean!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words, Mike. Warm regards, Dean
DeleteLovely guns and crew, Dean. yes indeed, ordnance (and terminology) was very non standard at this time.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words and information, Peter. Love the period as it was when armies were starting to get standardized, but still had individual unit leeway. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteMore great ECW work Dean - you really are a painting machine, churning out exquisitely painted figures at an incredible rate of knots! Do you have any of the Warlord Scots Lancers in the painting queue?
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for the kind words again, Keith. I haven't Scots Lancers yet, but will likely get some. Kindest regards, Dean
Deletelovely looking pair of culverins!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks a lot, Iain! Best regards, Dean
DeleteVery nicely done Dean!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for stopping by and the nice words, Nick. Warm regards, Dean
DeleteAs in French Cuirassiers, or English Civil war stuff? Don’t get me excited about French Cuirassiers as they are my favorite subject.
ReplyDeleteLove to see your still kicking your brushes butts. I sadly am in a slump again. But I am building terrain for Core Space, and trying not to glue my fingers together.
Cheers
Kevin
Thanks for the visit and nice word, Kevin. Terrain building is good stuff, and always useful. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteSmartly done Dean
ReplyDeleteDean,
ReplyDeleteLooking good. I still have a Scottish demi-culvern from Warlord to do. The vignettes look great. What rules are you using? I'm using "Victory Without Quarter."
Thanks, Neil. I plan to use Pike & Shotte - as it is in the family of Black Powder/Hail Caesar rules which I'm the most familiar with. At least for now. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteGreat painting as always! I love the woodwork on the cannons!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the compliment! The Perry cannon frame is nicely detailed and allowed dry-brushing to bring out the details. Warm regards, Dean
DeleteYes indeed ,dry brushing is a great tool in these cases but the colour choice and the painters eye is doing all the work. This Cherry red cannon is beautifully done :) Cheers!
