Hi guys,

I have finally started painting my WWI Russians, but can't find any colour information for the artillery. Does anyone know something about this topic?

Cheers,
Ralf

Something here. perhaps ? http://www.landships.info/landships/artillery_articles.html#

Yes, thank you very much, a kind of green it seems to be.

I have seen the guns rendered with reddish brown wheel spokes, which may be from very early in the war. I did some like that and they look quite nice. Made me think of the film, And Quiet Flows the Don, in which the protagonists uniform changes with every battle as the war progresses.

Here are some photos of the Russian field gun, painted using the Wargames Foundry Russian equipment paint triad:

That looks really good. I wasn't aware of that particular paint set, so hoping Foundry will be at Colours this year.

You have probably found the set but it is COL081 if not. The range from COL079 to 082 has lots of colour options. For 6 mm figures you often don’t need the whole triad, just the darkest and lightest.

Thanks.
