American Howitzer and British 3 Pounder "Butterfly" Artillery

 

Like usual it's been awhile since my last post which is mostly down to laziness as I've finished a few units since the last one, but also my productivity has been down largely due to not much gaming, but more of that on another post.

First up is an American Howitzer. I don't really know why I did it as they don't feature in many scenario's. I suppose just because I liked the look of it and the crew and the off chance I'll need one.

It was fun to do as I got a chance to experiment with white a little bit. Another thing is I decided to stay with a dark red brown for the wood of my artillery like my first one for my Americans. I plan on a few more artillery pieces for them, but probably shouldn't need too many.

Next up is a 3pounder "Butterfly" gun to go with the 6 pounder I already have. I will probably need a few more British Guns then American so more will be one the way at some point.

I really do like the uniforms of the British artillery crews in particular the southern dress as they do look rather spiffy and professional. The wood they used was also a nice grey just really adds to the effect. Another bonus is they are easy to paint in comparison to some of the other uniforms the British wore!

Well that's it for now, but I'll probably post another unit this week since I still have some vacation left.

Thanks for Viewing!
