fingolfen Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 I'm just about to finish up a very old Imperial Armour (pre-Forgeworld) Medusa kit and I'd love to get a few rounds of Medusa ammo for the rear firing platform. I know you can get some if you buy the Medusa carriage artillery piece from Forgeworld, but I am not looking to build a lot of towed artillery at this point. Does anyone have a few loose rounds or one of the ammo boxes they'd be willing to part with? I've got money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Rock Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 It's not the real thing, but I know Victoria Miniatures sells some howitzer shells and crates for them. If nobody has any, it might be worth looking at. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fingolfen Posted December 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Unfortunately I can't use 3rd party on this because I enter too many official painting competitions... otherwise I'd have gone to Victoria pretty quickly... 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 I used to use spent .22 LR brass (yes, from actual guns) as 40k scale artillery shells for my Basilisks and Griffons; 9mm or .45 ACP would probably work best for the Medusa... Although given ammo prices these days, a lot of guys will be hording brass in those calibers for reloading. Since rimfire ammo can't be reloaded*, .22 LR is a lot easier to come by. *Okay, it can be, but it's such a pain in the ass to do (and buying new ammo is so cheap) that no one really bothers.

Edit: Sorry, just have quad launcher and heavy mortar shells. Seem to have lost my Medusa ones. Thanks for checking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Medusa ammo has fins though, so just using brass wouldn't work - though I may try that next time I need basilisk ammo as I do have a reloading jig.
