I’ve made some progress on my batteries for Regimental Fire and Fury. These are all AB figures, based on Wargames Accessories fine steel bases. That’s right, I’m magnetizing.
These are all 12 pounders. I bet real-world artillerymen would clear out those rocks and boulders before attempting to work their gun…
There are some limitations to the AB American Civil War range, and a lack of variety in artillery crew figures is one of them. There is only one officer pose, for instance. I may need to search afield for other figures to give these artillery bases some variety.
It looks like I was drunk when I bored these barrels! Maybe I can blame it on substandard southern industrial capacity and expertise…
It was quite difficult cramming these 18mm AB figures onto the artillery bases. Especially the sponger guys.
By the way, Thomas over at the Ad Machina Wargaming Blog has done a nice post on photographing miniatures. Y’all should check it out (and I promise to follow his tips, next time). However, whatever you do, don’t look at his figures and vehicles. They’ll make you want to break all your brushes over your knee in frustration.
Ok, enough of my rambling. To those of you in the States, Happy Thanksgiving. I intend to consume mass quantities of pumpkin pie and dressing!
