Horses & Cannons for the Marl-Bear-Ians

"Where a goat can go, a man can go. And where a man can go, he can drag a gun." - General William Phillips

Whenever I walk US battlefields, I'm always impressed with just how far armies used to drag cannons and how they managed to get them over some of the more rugged terrain features.  That being said, General Phillips would be very disappointed with the Marl-Bear-Ians' soft paws.  Their guns will stick to flat open terrain. 

Two Grenadiers Man the Gun

I was able to reuse the cannon from the 18th century commission earlier this year. I did increase bulkiness the carriage and barrel to provide a more toyish look. The crew will be a separate model than the gun.  I'm imagining as the kids get older, a more advanced game might see crews being forced off of their gun and pieces of artillery changing hands several times.  Proper gunners with swabs are in development to crew the pieces.

Profile of a Horse

The horses have been revamped to give more cartoonish details.  I opted against the legs, but did add eyes, manes, and tails.  The core body and neck may be repurposed for cattle, pigs, or sheep if necessary.
