I have finally gotten around to painting some artillery to go with the rest of my 28mm WSS figures

Take a look if you like link

Warning there is a bad movie reference and a prize involved :)

Looks great. Love the red and gold.

Very Clean looking pieces. Does Anyone know why the colors red and black were used for artillery? It seems to go back to landsknechts. I imagine red oxide paint was used as it was protective and non fugative(and cheap) just like on galleys- and Barns today. The black just to stop rust?

I'm only guessing here, and would love some real data.
Cheers
