Author Topic: British field guns compatible with Copplestone Castings range? (Read 3823 times)

Copplestone Casting's Reds, Whites and Chinese all have field guns but not the British it seems. Does anyone have any tips on who produces suitable artillery pieces and crew so the British Indian army can have some support?

Try the Empress Jazz Age mountain gun

TransCaspian / Mesopotamian / East Persia Cordon and British Intervention troops all had access to the 18pdr QF
Old Glory do an 18pdr (WWI-319) but with Western Front crew
Battle Honours do a 25mm Palestine theatre gun and crew (WWIBP-6)
Its a shame Eureka don't do larger versions of their Palestine gun crews - I like the poses on their 15mm versions...

Woodbine Design (Gripping Beast) do suitable guns and crews.

That's excellent news for you 25mm BEF BOBers out there!

Some great suggestions there, thank you to all.

Quite fiddly to put together, that one. But just the same a lovely piece of murderous hard wear.

And the suggestions keep coming! Thanks very much for the suggestion, and I admit Great War Miniatures is a manufacturer I hadn't heard of before despite over 40 years as a miniatures wargamer.

Renegade Miniatures. They have early war crew by Mike Owen or late war crew by Kevin Adams. Chunky enough to go well with Copplestone.

Yep, it's true. In my defence, I am a recent convert to the period and the Great War fits into the big time gap between by two main interests of the ECW and Second World War, so I never came across them. But I live and occasionally learn!

This heavy piece is from HLBS.

Brigade Games Indian Army Mountain Gun

Empress Mountian Howitzer, perhaps a little too dainty for Copplestone.

Lovely work sir. It is too early in the morning to be wearing a hat, but when I do put one on, I will take it off immediately in honour of your work.

Are the mountain gun crew Brigade Miniatures too?
