Russian artillery

Ive recently painted up some more additions to my 1808 Russian artillery, namely a limber for my 3-pounder gun and an ammunition cart. The riders may not sit perfectly in their saddles – I just happened to run out of superglue so they are still loose…

Ive also re-based the guns themselves on small oval bases with separate crew figures on regular round 20mm bases, just like their Swedish counterparts. I would love to have two sets of 6-pounders and two 3-pounders complete with crew and limbers for all of them. The limber models (by Perry) are great, but they are also a lot of work, both putting them together and painting them.

The guns are are by Perry and Warlord; crew by Warlord. Heads from Brigade Games infantry.
