Limbering Up

[Charge The Guns]

Limbers for 17th century artillery – are they worth it? In my latest blog post I make the case for adding some limbers to your 17th century artillery train. I have had these on the to-do list for some time, but they have, perhaps unfairly, kept slipping down the priorities.

I have now completed two limbers from Warlord Games’ recent release for their Pike and Shotte range.

There was a lot more modelling to do than in regular foot or cavalry units. I found it a bit fiddly to put together the tack etc. required to hitch up the horses to the limber. I was pleased with how they ended up, and I think they look like it is all linked together.

They look great.

And occupy a lot of space, like real world artillery did.

Well done.

Great stuff CtG! You can really go to town on bases with things like limbers and wagons.
