End The English Civil War With A Cannon Blast
January 12, 2013 by brennon
I have recently been watching a few shows about the English Civil War (specifically a lot of Time Team, God I love that show...) and so seeing this awesome looking Cannon Crew from Empress Miniatures might have hit a bit of a shiny nerve...
The cannon uses the exact design used during the period and even bears a seal atop it showing it was a gift to Charles when he was Prince. It's great to see this level of historical depth in miniatures and the sculpts aren't half bad on the crewmen either.
I can see a fair few Roundheads moaning over the brow of that hill. Load the cannons!
What do you think?
That is very cool. Serpantine shot some MP’s
Very nice, even if it is the wrong side.
Unless it has been captured by the Parliamentarians haha!
Just wish there didn’t have to be someone pointing.
Am sure the guys loading know which way cannon has to go! lol
Interesting stuff on the ECW range

@chibi interesting stuff all round. They certainly cover some unusual conflicts as well.
Quite. I am quite glad I prefer true scale figures otherwise my heart would be nagging my head to get Spanish Civil War English Civil War NZ Wars (which atm are my faves)
Some of the figures would be ok for steampunk

The Royal Navy figures are great.
Yeah. Also love the rocket crew.
There is a Maori with a soldiers hat and a rifle which is just super.
