UsernameMDM Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Worked on another cannon for my Crown army. Fist one can be found here: CROWN CANNON & CREW: Decided to make a volley gun this time. May wind up tweaking the details, but I am pretty set on the design. Please comment and critique: Quote
Steel Dragon Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 I like it! One doesn't usually associate cannons and Crownies, but you pull it off very well! Quote
Francis Marion Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 An excellent little creation, and it's something I might have to try at some point. I always wind up with Crownies being in possession of cannon, but I've never tweaked the concept much. Quote
Captain Blackmoor Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Such things are called 'organ' guns. A nice build! Since organ guns were also used in the age of sail, I'd like to use it as inspiration! Looking forward to see more cannons. Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Very nice - simple yet deadly ! Great MOC 'UsernameMDM' ! I read the first one was used in 1339.....wow didn't know that gun power was used back that far ? I'm a conformist! ! Quote

Semantics I know, but an organ gun is a volley gun (I just felt like using the generic name), and I have actually worked on a triple barrel swivel gun I may post as well in the Pirates section. Quote

UsernameMDM Posted January 24, 2010 Author Posted January 24, 2010 Do you play Warhammer by chance? Long live the Empire! Nope, but I was inspired to do cannons for my Crown army by Battle Masters. Quote
Legostein Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Hello! That's a nice idea! I have seen such weapons in some movies but never expected to see one in bricked form. They certainly count to the most dangerous weapons in the arsenal in those days. Cheers, ~ Christopher Quote
iamded Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Such things are called 'organ' guns. I was just thinking that! Glad to know I got it right. A very cool MOC UsernameMDM, simple yet effective. I do like the idea of weapons like cannons in medieval times... perhaps a bombard next? ~Peace Quote
Dr. Steve Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Looks good. I wonder how it would look with the front being replaced with the black telescope? Quote
Cakeman Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 (I actually thought it was a black telescope piece untill I had a closer look.) Good build! I think I'll even try to build something similar for my crown army. It's not fair that the trolls should have all the cool warmachines... Quote
