Gunning for Glory

The Emperor is reviewing his newly reinforced artillery:

While waiting for His Majesty to show up, the newly-joined 3rd and 4th line batteries go through their paces:



The Imperial Retinue finally arrives:


The batteries come into action:

Fire!:

The Emperor is content!

Napoleon: Take a deep breath, Gentleman. It is the scent of Victory!

Apologies for the delay in posting these. The guns are Claytons which had been woefully miscast and took a lot of recarving to make them presentable. I think it was worth it, however, as the French gun line is looking quite respectable at last.

The 3rd and 4th Batteries go into action next week at the Wellington Warlords Call to Arms 2025 event. There'll be quie a few troops on the table. A report will follow.

Have a good weekend everyone

    They look splendid, the artillery uniform is really rather elegant with that dark blue with red trim. Also, that's a much better ratio of Guard to Line, in terms of batteries / companies.
    Now we'll see if they can actually hit anything and overturn the curse of the newly painted unit.

      Cheers Rob. It'll be my opponents at CTA 2025 who'll be fielding them, so we shall see!

      Thanks Donnie. There's an almost overwhelming temptation to keep painting more and more of them. Fortunately this is tempered by the rather dreary buusiness of painting thei guns.
