Hussite wagenburg

This circle of wagons is a scenery element played as a "fort" (one of the three types of BUA allowed by DBA 3.0 rules

He accompanies the Hussite army of Antoine (and his 15 wagons aligned in BBDBA!) as during the historical battle of Sudomer when the Hussite manage to form a strong wagenburg to resist to the imperialist charges.

The handguns stock

An imperialist spy was spotted and attempts to escape.

[Liste IV/80] Hussite artillery

The Hussite army of Antoine contains three pieces of artillery. We chose to represent three different types of parts: a bombard, a kind of large mortar and two powdered strokes grouped together.

 

 

 

 This "mortar" was made from the stopper of an old tube of superglue, surrounded by threaded fish. The chest which is carried by one of the artillerymen is not a treasure, but the "Sainte-Barbe", containing the reserve of powder.

 

[Liste IV/80] Making of hussite warwagons. (WIP)

The Hussite army relies on a large number of trolleys.

A big battle DBA version rises up to 15 war carts and 3 pieces of artillery. This represents a significant financial cost. We therefore resolved, in order to constitute the Hussite army of Antoine to fall back on home made (scratch built)

The cheapest Trent miniature ebay wheels and the use of long and flat matches make this a reality

Artillery base (hence the "small" base)

 

The choice was made to individually type each wagon. The illustrations of these mobile hussite fortresses not missing on the canvas, the inspiration will not be a problem while respecting the sources.

The shift to the right of the apertures is intended to leave room for painting a Hussite pattern

The same, seen from the back. It lacks vertical stems at the level of the wheels, used by the Hussites to stabilize their trolleys when stationary. They will be added once the paint is finished.

 

 

Condition of the carts made to date (seven of the fifteen carts to be aligned)
The fighters are missing (with crossbow, powder trams and weapons scourges) because we have not bought them yet.
