French Artillery

Latest item off the painting tray - WWI French artillery. 15mm from Lancashire Games.
The gun crew are well animated and look like they are engaging in rapid fire.

Viewed from another direction.
I was lazy and only painted a single red stripe on the trousers rather than the double stripe they actually had. A battlepack contains six of these guns, 4 crew per gun and 6 Machine guns, each with two crew. That's a pretty good deal.

  1. Those do look nice! I agree with your decision to paint only one pant stripe. Even at full scale, two pant stripes seen at a distance would merge into one.

    I added a few more Battlepacks to a second order before the Winter Sale ended. Those reinforcements should be arriving any day.

    1. WW1 Russians in the near future for me - it is a pity I couldn't make the pre-order deal, but it won't stop me getting an army of them!

  2. Nice work, and great poses. They look like the man in charge is really giving it to them!

    1. There's no point having a soixante-quinze and not laying down rapid fire!

    1. Thanks Rodger. Hope you like the next lot of figures I put up - I have a feeling you could be gaming with them in the not too distant future.
