You two guys are too much, super job. I will need some of these units.

Normally I just post this kind of stuff to C-C, but since the last picture
has some cross-over to pirates, I thought I would post it here, too.
These are three different versions of medieval handgunners I have made.
There is a tendancy to think of knights and castles not co-existing with
gunpowder, or at most early cannon, but in fact early “handgonnes” (append
numerous other medieval names as you wish) were on the battlefield in the
latter half of the 14th century.

Absolutely! It adds much more colour to the medieval battlefield... and a
misfiring gun is so much more entertaining than a misfiring bow!
| |
Looking for something not so oversize, I used a light-sabre handle. The
chrome is obnoxiously bright, so I spray-painted it black. Inasmuch as
medieval cannon and some guns used reinforcing bands, it worked out rather
well.
|
These look great! I think the next time my medieval brikwars army has an
outing, they’ll have a few of these along - they’ll complement the
Pikes of Doom
nicely.

This is closer to what handgonnes looked like around 1450, with a shaped
stock, though they would use a serpentine and not a flintlock. They were
fairly short-barreled and short-stocked, so the stock could be cut down.

ARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!! Cutting Lego! Modifyng what few muskets that are left out
there!
The handgunners look great and I will need some pikemen units for my troops.
