Askari Mountain Gun

[Overlord]

Finally painted after having sat undercoated on the shelf for most of the year.

Beautifully done. I love that set and you have really done it justice 

How have you based the gun? I assume it's on a washer of some sort. Too big for a coin?

I am toying with basing my guns, as they are free-standing at present and bases give them a bit more protection against damage. I prefer to have the crew on separate bases, but it depends on the rules you use of course

Lovely!

Indeed, great figures wonderfully painted.

Looks to me as if it's on one of the old large GW bases, but I could be wrong.

I base my guns on 40mm round bases with two crew, the rest of the crew being based singularly.

Could be - I'd forgotten their larger bases aren't horrid slottas

Oh, that is ace!

[Plynkes]

Champion!

I've come around to the idea of single big bases for artillery and MGs. I used to like the versatility across game systems that single-figure basing gives, but the "little diorama" aspect of a gun team on one base far outweighs that usefulness I think. It just looks so much better done this way.

Yep! Luvvverrllyy

True and it would be easy to find a pleasing visual way to represent casualties. Worth trying, I think.

Who made this gun? I am looking for one for a French VSF project.

Edit: Btw it looks great 

[Prof.Witchheimer]

Ah, I love that gun model, nice painting and great idea with the base!

[mortimer]

Foundry. At least the crew is and I'm 99% sure it's the same gun, but mine is stored away somewhere safe where I can't get to it to check

Here it is on the foundry site:

Foundry also have some nice bases intended for their "Napoleon" rules:



Which would be the right size. Must put an order in while they still have the 20% off sale on!

Wish I'd had the presence of mind to put all this in one post
