The Sun Never Sets - 15mm figures for warfare around the British Empire - The British Part 1

 The British are the largest contingent in terms of troop types in "The Sun Never Sets". Therefore it will be necessary to break them up into several entries. For this post, I will start with the artillery and machine guns. All of the gun models are 3D prints from my own designs.



9 pdr RML

The 9 pounder rifled muzzle loading cannon was the mainstay of the British during the period of "The Sun Never Sets". The cannon comes with 4 crew in 3 poses.



.45 Cal. Gatling Gun

This is the typical machine gun used by the British army.



9 pdr Hale's Rocket Trough

As with the cannon and machine guns, the 9 pdr. is the model typically used by the army.

Other Weapons - Of course, the above weapons were not the only ones used on campaign. Below are a number of others. These were usually supplied by the navy, but not always.



Mountain Gun - Used in areas of exceptionally rough terrain. I will be making an Indian crew for this model. I already have camel transport for this gun, which will be shown in the post on transportation.



2 Barreled Gardener Gun



3 Barreled Nordenfeldt Machine Gun on Naval Carriage






5 Barreled Nordenfeldt Machine Gun on Naval Carriage shown unlimbered and limbered.


24 pdr. Hale's Rocket Tube - The last item is the rocket tube supplied by the Royal Navy. It is crewed by 4 sailors.
