Are the mods to TPL available? Asking for a friend who may have had a Montrose in his ancestry.
Cheers,

Thanks all with apologies for the late reply.

With the release of the awesome Bloody Artillery, I can't help but be excited by what will be the tripling of my artillery park. The guns really are very good - left and right of Bicorne gun - with their tableau (with removable gunners) being WIP.

Those are very nice - perfect for those small guns and crew.

Re: Bonnie Scotland, 17thC: 1/2/25 artillery prepped for painting

Thanks chaps.

With GS applied and clean-up done the artillery is now ready for painting.

I've also added an Artillery Captain as a standalone figure: for NMTM he's not required and as such is purely decorative but he's also a useful character for DA and thus worth doing.









And the Captain with his gunners (all are Bloody Miniatures or derivations therefrom, except the kneeling man who is Bicorne):



Hope to start painting this week.

In terms of the wider project, this is where the artillery fit:



EDIT: As I'm switching back to a TPL-based structure, the above army organisation no longer applies.

And finally, they're painted. Lots of images to follow.

Though this is a Covenanter Army there's not a lot of uniform grey. I just wanted more interesting colouration. Almost all of the figures are by Blood Miniatures.

These are only just finished so please excuse poor light and stray flock.

A couple of command:



Some civilians to add to the clubmen:



Various artillery crew:



I don?t quite have enough crew, of which more in a moment.

The three light guns. The two by Bloody Miniatures are especially gorgeous.







And finally the 'finished so far' units for TPL, comprising of 24 points and 60 figures:

Command - aggresive forlorn hope:





Veteran pike (with Galbraith Axes):



Shot:



Clansmen:



Clubmen (village folk):



And finally, one gun. In TPL this is a 6 point unit and like others I think 6 crew look too busy. I'll be making mine 4 crew, with the missing two mins represented by Reduced Model Unit points markers comprising of sacks and barrels. I have them prepped but unpainted, and when they're done the other two guns will join the finished units pool.





Next up will be:

- The artillery RMU markers to deploy all 3 guns
- Pike
- Shot
- Veteran Commanded Shot
- Dragoons, dismounted
