I love the little fantastical twists to these units, and the paint work is superb!

Hmm..maybe just a clockwork cart with scythe blades on the front reminiscent of a bull's head then?

I think I will go for a small minotaur (a champion for the unit) and a daVinci-like twinncannon... :)

Here an unpainted preview, a new thing quite popular at the moment I think... lol

The "shield" is from the Zvezda siege-kit, the cannons are from victrix. The rest is scratchbuild from plasticcard.

Perhaps one can see it best from the back of the cannon.

erm, its for the papal state... :o







So the army of the pope will be the 4th faction.
I know the caraccio was probably not used by the papal state, so count it for the wierd stuff...;)

Cheers,

It was only a matter of time before the 'unpainted figure' gamers had a wider influence.  :D

I'm quite enjoying all this btw.  :)
