They were a nice facet of third edition that unfortunately seems to have faded out of site. I've never actually played a game with them, but it does seem like they would add a nice dimension to things, so I'm planning on adding them to all my fantasy armies eventually. Battle Forge makes a nice series of carts and wagons. I used one of theirs for Cookie's chuck wagon, part of my Dwarf army, which is the only other baggage train section I've finished so far. It costs money but it paints up well and looks nice.Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16662424384597893661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874877056919928739.post-13827722097313482902015-03-27T08:44:49.515-07:002015-03-27T08:44:49.515-07:00I haven't read any of the Sharpe series - but ...I haven't read any of the Sharpe series - but now you've really whetted my appetite.

In my last battle with 24_Cigs (chronicled a post or two back), I didn't field a baggage train. And it would have made the battle pretty cramped. But maybe that's the point. It *should* be a pain in the ass. Anyway, good luck at Foundry - I hope you find some great stuff.matthewjksullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08126108200355039621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874877056919928739.post-72504871798273371162015-03-26T00:19:46.662-07:002015-03-26T00:19:46.662-07:00Excellent work.

Add to that the fact I'm headed up to foundry in a couple of days to spend a bucketload off cash (I'm on a family holiday in the UK at the moment) and I think I'll add in some citadel pack animals to my fairly large list. <br /><br />Will be interesting to see how baggage affects a battle - fitting a decent baggage train onto the field would be a challenge in itself.Firthy 74https://www.blogger.com/profile/17104155948966037030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874877056919928739.post-13410125150184438542015-03-25T15:28:14.686-07:002015-03-25T15:28:14.686-07:00These I great!

Props to you for working on yours! The elf with the horse is really good.<br /><br />I started one for a historical army of mine (Thirty Year War), it's fun but I find a proper bagagge train does require a lot of work. Carts and such take a long time to paint. I agree Foundry is your best bet to find proper baggage train stuff. Warlord also has some good stuff in their TYW range (and Warhammer is often closer to the TYW than the middle-ages).Iannickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14589745325402476568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874877056919928739.post-23847419273061344882015-03-25T06:32:11.567-07:002015-03-25T06:32:11.567-07:00I thought about adding mascara, but it seemed a br...I thought about adding mascara, but it seemed a bridge too far.<br /><br />And Erny, I think you're right about the reasons why baggage trains are so rare.

Limited budgets and skill meant another unit of orcs was more on the cards than the orc camp. <br /><br />Part two is that many of the fantasy oldhammer blogs follow people as the paint and/or collect anew their armies of their youth. They just haven't got to the baggage train yet. Most of my armies have the figures collected and ready I just need to paint them at some point.<br /><br />Nice collection yourself by the way. You've managed to make the horses suitably elvish which would have been my concern using the foundry pack horses. I think it's the eye liner that does it.Ernyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06106035249657749275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874877056919928739.post-13274151289920493432015-03-25T03:46:42.463-07:002015-03-25T03:46:42.463-07:00Wow!!!
