Saxon Limbers - 28mm Black Hussar

Some close ups of recently painted Saxon Limber teams. Bit of a cheat here, in that while the horses and riders are Saxons from Black Hussar, I used two spare Austrian limber models I had lying around as "requisitions". Main difference from Saxon ones is the seat cover I believe.



The Black Hussar models are pretty robust compared to Perry horses/riders, but still quite compatible.



Half way through our month long lockdown here in New Zealand, which seems to be working well with only 29 new virus cases today, down from about 90 at the peak as the Ministry of Health graph below shows.  Very happy for our frontline medical stafff in particular. Looking forward to playing some games again soon hopefully!

New confirmed and probable cases over time

  5. Another batch of beautifully painted limbers Mark, and I agree with you that our lock down here in NZ seems to be having the desired effect

  6. Very nice indeed. We seem to have had lockdown by stealth in Australia, and many of the restrictions now appear to be the same as NZ, but strangely they are still not calling it that here. It will be nice to get back to some regular gaming, but that's probably still a couple of months away at least.

  8. Catching up on three posts at once Mark! Love the focus on limbers, they look great and it's always beaut to have them on the tabletop, for mine.
    (Agree with you re. Kiley's artillery tome too--from two posts down--it's full of great info. and pics.)
