Cannonballs

[KeithS]

I am just putting together some Napoleonic French artillery and since I have a bit of space on my bases I thought that it would be nice to add some of those piles of cannonballs that you see in pictures, plus maybe the odd one lying around.  AFAIK Pendraken don't do them as scenic extras (Hint!) so does anyone know if any other company does?  If not then I suppose that I could try making my own out of tiny ball bearings, although I suspect that glueng them together might be a gateway to madness, in that case can someone suggest what size ball bearing would be suitable in 10mm scale.

In 10mm you'll barely notice an individual cannonball.

Those nice little pyramids of balls are a parade ground feature.

Take a look at EC26.

Pendraken do everything.

Except Tardigrades

Pendraken do have an artillery accessory pack - I think it's in the ECW range.

How could I ever have doubted.  Thanks (and to all who posted replies) EC26 looks just the ticket.  Now I will have to find another pile of things to buy to justify the postage.

And a Navy thing (Brass Monkeys).
Field gunners take their ammunition form a limber or a vehicle.

Don't bother.  Napoleonic artillery used fixed rounds comprising the ball, shell or cannister fixed to a wooden sabot and a bagged charge which may have been fixed or separate.

I use buckshot in different sizes from my shotgun shells.

Yes the projectile pryamids would be naval or fortification. Still useful for markers of course.

Indeed, our non-historically minded Warlord sculptor gave the epic artillery a tiny pyramid of cannon balls right behind the artilleryman's foot. Thus, as well as the only gun so far being an 1840s howitzer, the piece has individual cannonballs, which were not used unbagged in the ACW, positioned where the gunner can trip over them. Oh how we laughed!
