Another addition to the new supplement for the second edition of By Fire and Sword: the Khmelnytsky Uprising and a few extras. They were supposed to be Czarniecki's Chosen Men, but I decided otherwise and painted the cannons this time. All the figures and models, except a few, are Wargamer-made.
Polish Mixed Small Guns.
First up are the small mixed Polish guns from the Rebellion: Polish Army set, shown here on a size S tray.
Mercenary Light Guns.
The next painted set is the Holy Roman Empire’s light cannons. I picked up this set years ago, back during the first edition, and it has been sitting on the shelf ever since. Now, I’ve finally painted it. These cannons will work well with both my Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and Swedish forces, depending on what I need for a given game.
Polish cannon "Organki"
This is my own conversion. I used two extra miniatures. I had leftover barrels from a cannon set from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. I decided to make an additional cannon. I found some wheels, made a trailer, and mounted everything on a Warbases base, creating an additional cannon.
Additional bases for artillery.
The second edition changed the base sizes slightly. In the first edition, all light cannons were 4cm x 4cm. Now, when two cannons were placed on the S-size tray, a gap appeared, which didn't look good. I decided to remedy this and created additional bases to place behind the cannons. I used bases from Warbases and figures from the second edition Kickstarter. This way, the cannons will look much better during games.
I’m taking a short break from By Fire and Sword and 15mm minis for now. Next up: painting a few ships for the Americans and the Spanish.
