Spring Cleaning Challenge: Imperial Guard (PROJECT COMPLETE!)
Artillery Crew
I’ll upload the fluff for the artillery tomorrow but for now the Artillery is seen as the best unit to join for minor nobility with the Cavalry being the most prestigious for the upper nobility.
The relatively low death rate, the easy deployments (Artillery don’t scout, forage or anything like that) and the prestige that comes with being able to pay the expensive unofficial bribe to get yourself on the Artillery List all make post Military life very comfortable although not as comfortable as an ex-cavalryman.
The Purple Uniforms Are an Homage to the High Number of Nobility in the Ranks of the Artillery
Some Men Carry their Dress Uniforms into Battle Slung on their Shoulders just In Case
The Artillery Wear Red Caps Bisected with a Black Stripe
The Poles Held by One Man From Each Gun are an Homage to the Old Muzzle Loading Cannons. They are Vox Amplifiers that Enable the Commanders to Send Messages via Vox to Each Gun Individually Over the Din of Battle
