Limbering Up : ACW

These are the second half of the ACW limbers I painted a few months ago. I had bought them as a set of 4 then with the addition of some extra plastic limbers made them into 6 actual units. These are the galloping versions which if necessary will be used as light artillery units. The ‘light’ guns have been based separately for flexibility and I still need to do some extra crew which will be individually based  again for flexibility.
At some point I will try and pick up some more seated crews, not sure where from though so if anybody knows ?
Here are all six of the limbers finished.......nice to look at and of course adding a lot to any battlefield. Bit of a pain to paint and base etc.......interestingly painting them in two batches means the horse colours have developed. Pretty sure they only had dark horses, but I have allowed myself a little licence.

Thanks for looking πŸ˜€

    Six limbers and teams is a big task in 28mm. Great job!

    Nicely done. Limbers are great looking on the table but like most everyone else, I find them a chore to paint. Kinda depends on the rules being used on how necessary they are. πŸ˜€
