When I first started planning my Imperial Chinese force for The Men Who Would be Kings, I purchased my artillery crew from Wargames Foundry before I purchased a field piece. Initially I painted an anachronistic command figure and gave the figure a linstock from the sprues accessory.
Of course I then purchased a Krupp mountain gun Model 1895 from Askari which is a breechloader - no linstock needed! I had some extra artillery crew and I added a tulwar from the Perry Miniatures Afghan Tribesman hard plastic box and Ta Dah! An instant Artillery lieutenant for the Tenacious Army.
Nicely done! The tulwar looks really natural in his hand.

DeleteMore lovely work, really well done, both the crew and officer are cracking Neil.
ReplyDeleteI’m my opinion one of the highlights of my Tenacious Army.
DeleteBeautifully painted Boxers, Neil! Love the writing on the jackets.
