Games Workshop - 10mm Empire Great Cannons

Hello all,
A few more guns from the collection of the Master Gunner. This time it is a couple of Empire Great Cannons made by Games Workshop. And they are great - tons of detail on both crew and cannon while still being a good size for the timeperiod.


Fun to play with, fun to paint - it is a win-win :-).
Best regards,
Kasper

Pendraken - 10mm Organ Guns

Hello all,
Guns, guns and more guns! Even though I'm in Estonia right now (after Hungary, Finland and Latvia) I would like to present a few pictures of the Pendraken Organ Guns. These are fairly ok minis although as always with pendraken the faces are almost no existent. I have (for fun) added some defensive works in front of the guns to make them more imposing.
Please enjoy and then I will get back to my conferences :-):





Best regards,
Kasper

Unknown Cannon - 10mm (Armies in Miniature?)

Hello all!
Well this cannon was bought on Ebay and I am not certain of which company produced it (if you happen to know I would really appreciate the info!). It is fairly small and I would say around 8mm but actually have quite a lot of detail although the faces were a bit difficult to get any detail on.
Hmm - after a chance encounter with some minis on Ebay I believe this cannon might be from the old Armies in Miniature product range of the English Civil Wars and is called a "Medium Gun". At least the artillery crew looks similar and the cannon is close - maybe it is a "Light Gun" but there are no pictures of those (as usual!). 
That is the closest I have come to an ID of this cannon so until anyone else offers more compelling evidence that is what I will call it :-).

Here is a comparison with the 12mm cannon from Kallistra featured in the last post.


Anyways - we played the Master Gunner scenario Tuesday and all had a blast - great fun and I'll write the report when I get back from the next weeks conferences.

Best regards,
Kasper

Kallistra - 10mm 100 Years War Siege Guns

Hello all!
In preparation of our game next week (the Master Gunner Scenario) I painted a few cannon units I had in the guilt pile. The first ones are Kallistra's Siege Guns from their 100 Years War range.
As always from Kallistra they are quite nice sculpts although the faces of the artillery crew are a bit weird here and there.


The next posts will be cannons made by Games Workshop and one from an unknown source as well as a comparison between these different cannons,

Oh and sorry for the lack of post the last few weeks where I have been in our summerhouse and there will also be a lack of post in the coming weeks where Ill be going for conferences in Hungary and Estonia.

Best regards,
Kasper
