More russian foot artillery

I have completed new batteries for my russian foot artillery. Having got the Clash of Eagles expansion for Black Powder, I see that they propose you field larger batteries for russians, so I decided to represent my russian batteries with a total of 4 guns, instead of my usual 3.

This is the light battery (second in my collection):

And here is the heavy battery. I used two large guns from the Hat Wurttemberg Artillery set, to represent the heavy pounders in the unit, alongside smaller guns.

All these photos were taken using my new homemade lightbox. I wasn't very happy with the light and focus of the pics I've been taking recently with my phone, so I decided to give it a go with a improvised light box, and I'm pretty happy with the results.

  4. Excellent artillery; when you play Russians, you cam almost never have too many artillery units!

  5. As we all can plainly see you are very talented with the brush. When, may I ask, will you be posting photos of your miniatures in action?
