Blue's April Missile Support Detachment (293pts)

Hi all,

 Not much to discuss this month...it was a rough one but I'm finally wrapping it up and am very happy with the results.  These guys will represent a much needed boost to the missile support part of my Empire Dwarf Army....as I have found the thunderers to be less than satisfactory in the last few games I've had...

 ...so to rectify that situation here is a unit of 12 Dwarf Crossbows and a 3-man canon to back up those big pike blocks!

 Point Breakdown:
11-Dwarf Crossbows with Light Armor, Xbow and Hand Weapon, incl Musician and Standard: 169 pts

1- 5th level Dwarf Hero, Light Armor, Xbow and Two-handed Axe: 55pts
1-3-Dwarf Canon and Crew: 69pts

 Points Total for April: 293 pts

 Here is the whole group:



Here is the Canon and crew solo:



Rear rank of Xbows:



And complete Xbow unit.:



See you next month with some more Crosbowmen and additional light artillery support (swivel gun).

Cheers,

Blue

    Great work as always. I have that same cannon, but sadly no longer have the human crewmen that came with it.

      haha...I'm glad someone noticed that. To be honest with you I don't know exactly...its some kind of small devil pig playing a lute...I'm confident that it is a John Pickford sculpt...but I'm not sure from what range...sorry. I just loved the way it looked and thought it would make a great banner topper for these "hillbilly" dwarf crossbow men. lol

    I really love how the blue and red pops out on these! A really characterful bunch too :)

    Awesome. The dude in the center of the crossbows is one of my favourite models (although to be fair, he does share the podium with quite a few other crossbow sculpts :) )
    Looking forward to the army shot next month! Good luck with the other unit of crossbows and that swivel gun!
