Lead Adventure Miniatures recently released a new cannon for their Bruegelburg range. This one, however, was built by the revolting peasants of Schweinstein. It is a repurposed bell, and it absolutely fantastic. Here is a nice picture of the sculpts:
Now here is my take on it with a lick of paint:
The base was from 4ground, and I used some miscellaneous Hirst Arts blocks, a GW fence, and then the usual sand, flock, tufts, and flowers. It really brings the piece to life and helps show off the immense character of these figures.
My only criticism of LAM is that some of the faces lack a certain amount of character, with somewhat sharp defining lines. Though that is not all of them, and much of the time you can make up for it with a good paintjob. Hope you like the cannon, I would recommend it to anyone.
Wow Tim! That is stunning....the piece is great...the painting superb and the basing is sublime! You've really out done yourself this time. We're these painted using your ink technique?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Blue! This was painted more or less with the ink technique, although its not as much of a time saver for the puff and slash uniforms, as they are always fiddly to paint with many touchups needed (for me, at least!) I love the landsknecht look, but it sure can get annoying to paint!
Deletehahah...agreed....puff and slash figures always take longer to paint...particularly the very intricate LAM figures...but they sure look good when finished!
Deletethanks for the info
