Yes I know even more Burpas. Again these are for Matt. Mostly a gun and crew and a few extras. As usual they do come from a variety of sources mostly Foundry and Empress I am told. But I did not buy them so I cannot verify this at all without a lot of internet searching. This little lot was actually finished before the Selwg show but have taken a while to surface on the blog due to other commitments.
If you Know Matt you will Know he likes his artillery. This just gives the Burpas a single gun, but one can imagine they will like it as it does give them some "Heavy" support. As long as I am not expected to carry the gun across the mountains I am happy to paint it for him. But Carrying it across mountains does just seem like hard work to me so I will pass.
So one gun and 6 crew, which should be enough for a serious rate of fire, assuming they know what they are doing. But you can easily take the commander and spotter away and use them for something else.OPPS
Just a quick apology I seem to have made a mistake on the Klintanistan Game and there should be some more money in the countries accounts. Not all countries. The Problem vcame as my hand written notes were absent during the turn process and I was having to look for them and write turns at the same time. Thay have now turned up and I Promise to adjust your treasuries (where accounts were wrong) this turn. It is important to say that no one is getting less money.Teething problems and I will rectify as fast as I am able.
Nice gun and crew Clint! No need to carry it over the mountain when they can take it up the Khyber Pass ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you Tamsin. Well these are Burpas and the Kyber is just one part of the North west frontier. (He says ignoring any cheeky connotations.)
DeleteThat looks really cool that gun and crew. Placed on a hill, with any jezzail type snipers that might also be present, and the enemy might just have a headache to suffer.
ReplyDeleteThank you Roy. I will start some Burpa Cavalry soon. (but give me at least a week)
DeleteOoh, its going to be a comprehensive little army then when finished. It'd be great to see then in a game report, if every there was a chance.
DeleteThank you Roy. there will be an AAR sometime, but probably not this year.
DeleteI could do with more cash Clint if it's lurking about? I've got big plans for Gobboland.
ReplyDeleteNice Burpas by the way....
Thanks Gobbo. Without checking I cannot say which nations will get a rebate and which will not. But one thing I do know everong in the world wants more cash, you do I do, everyone does.
DeleteVery nice set!
ReplyDeleteThank you David. I already have the next 2 or 3 blog posts sorted. So No more Burpas until next week I would think.
DeleteGood to see the Burpas getting their well deserved artillery support. As you say, there is ample 'space' mong this lot to use some of them for other tasks.
ReplyDeleteI'm still impressed with the variation of colours you use.
Thank youi Joe I am running out of colours so there should be a few repeats along soon. But I am alright for now I think. Cavalry next.
DeleteFine work once agin Clint. How many figures have you painted for this period now??
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray. I have no idea how many figures I would suspect about 120, but that really is a guess.
DeleteAh the Baron of Burpas strikes again with yet more colourful goodies. Cracking gun team Clint, you really are making this an extremely attractive period y'know!! I especially enjoyed the first photo as the angle makes the look-out appear as if he's totally covering his eyes - not a good sign for the accuracy of the cannon ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Blax it does look like he is hiding his eyes. Perhaps I should pay more attention to where I put figures when taking photos.
DeleteClint, I assure you I wasn't in any way criticising your photo skills. The piccie simply captured my humorous imagination :-)
DeleteThanks Simon. I never thought you were criticising my photography skills. Not at all but I can try to learn from every comment. Especially when I agree with the comment.
DeleteI never tire of these, especially when they are this good Clint.
ReplyDeleteThank you Michael. There will ne more along next week, as I start to tackle some Burpa Cavalry.
DeleteHmm, it's not a *huge* cannon - just how hard could it be to drag across mountains, through snow, ice or mud :-) ?
ReplyDeleteThank you C6. That did make me laugh and as you say not a huge cannon 2 donkeys could probably do it!
DeleteVery nice, going to be something special when it's all finished
ReplyDeleteIan
Thank you Ian. I appreciate the kind words.
DeleteNothing wrong with more Burpas! Nice work!
