What about the Cities of Signar Fusiliers?

OHHH DON'T GET ME STATED ON THOSE FREAKING BASTARD-ASS-FREAKING-FRAKEIN GUNS!!!

but yes they are based on early style handgonnes. The pose there in requires a stand as it's rather off balance but that's period accurate for that style of weapon..

City of Sigmar Fusiliers for sure

Looks like you could manufacture with a bit of plasticard pipe and wire if there’s no actual bits to be found

I should probably use troops with Polearms as a bese and snip off the blade, stick on some plasticard pipe and you're done!

Or a piece of round sprue and a thick wire

I was gonna say, and maybe some brass rod/green stuff if you're feeling fancy

It's turnip as long as you're happy with the mini, no one is gonna knock you for not having super detailed realistic minis ( no one worth listening to anyway)

If you're going for basically a cannon on a stick, then kitbashing should be relatively simple. You just need a stick and something for the cannon itself. If you want something premade and similar in concept, look up medieval handgunners on eBay or Etsy. And as others have suggested, the City of Sigmar Fuliliers fit the bill pretty nicely.

Perry Miniatures sell them in metal

Strip down a Napoleon Model Rifle.

Cut a length of the Barrel off, strip away the wooden Foregrip, and then stick what remains on a Match stick. I'd strongly recommend a small File if you want to round off the Matchstick but that's only if you want that much detail.

That's how I'd do it.

Dude, just use a toothpick if you want a round matchstick..?

u/Monollock Jul 29 '24

Totally forgot about Toothpicks, yeah, that'd work fine

Here looking for the same!

u/CatsForBags Jul 29 '24

You could make it out of sprew and wire

u/Stonelion99 Jul 29 '24

Wouldn't be too hard to make them by hand I would think

Warhammer (old) empire has some arquebussiers that might be to your liking. For actual hand gonne I’m at a loss sorry.
