Pony Wars additions

So after Thursdays' second run out of the rules I decided to add a few more pieces to the collection. First up was a 6pdr artillery piece from Tabletop miniatures. I created a separate base for the artillery crew so that they can be removed when the gun is limbered, which I still need to paint up.

With crew

Crew removed

I also finally got around to painting a couple of bases of dismounted civilian scouts as I had a need of them in the last game. These are a mix of Tabletop and Peter Pig miniatures.


Now the Native Americans were not neglected. I painted up a few of the figures from the villagers set form Hovels miniatures along with a smoke signal set that they also produced, need to find a way to add some smoke to the model for the effect.



Now for a pony wars game you just have to have some buffalo. So I picked up a single pack from Peter Pig which gives you 6 models. I will need a few more of these and will probably add the odd pack to future orders. So here they are a very small herd, if you can call it that.


Now lets see if Blogger is still playing up as the last post seems to be either missing from quite a few feeds or just not generating interest.

    1. Cheers Brett, I wouldn't want to do it for large numbers of batteries as the base was a pain to cut

  2. I saw this one on Jons PWJ Blog Feed Scotty but not the previous one. Some nice additions there - I think you will probably need ten packs of bisons! For the smoke signals, can't you use that white filler from inside a pillow?

    1. Cheers Keith, I'll definitely need a lot more bison. I'll use the white filer in a game, was looking for something more permanent

  5. I struggle with smoke effects. I want some smoke grenade markers. I was looking at some resin prints perhaps.

    Theres also the ground foliage stuff mounted in wire and drowned in glue and painted option.

    How many bison bases do you need?

  7. Great additions to your project Neil, really like the idea for the artillery crew, very clever but as you say you wouldn't want to do too many!
