Quick answer

Build the Devil's Modular Ordnance Crew with the rolled sleeve arms for a natural artillery-crew look, and plan your loadout around whether the crew will stand at a gun or ride a tank. The modular design lets you mix arm poses across the crew before you commit to glue.

Why the rolled sleeve arms matter for an ordnance crew

Rolled sleeves give the crew a working, unarmored look that suits gun lines and vehicle riders. They also make arm swaps easier to blend at the shoulder, so you can test poses without a bulky joint. If your force is fully armored, these arms will read as lighter troops rather than line infantry.

One kit, two roles: gun crew or tank riders

The same modular crew works well as tank riders because the separate arms let you angle hands toward grab rails or hull edges. Decide the primary role before assembly: a gun crew needs hands near rammers and breech, while riders need seated or braced poses. Building for both at once usually leaves some arms looking neutral rather than purposeful.

Devil's Modular Ordnance Crew: build and loadout FAQ

What arm options come with the kit?

The set includes rolled sleeve arms as part of its modular design. Test each arm on the torso before gluing to check that hands align with your intended equipment or vehicle grab points. Dry-fit every arm pair before committing to glue.

Can I build the crew as tank riders instead of a gun crew?

Yes. The kit is also suited to making tank riders. Angle the arms downward or outward to suggest bracing on a hull, and keep the legs posed for a seated or crouched stance rather than a standing gun line. Choose rider or gun-crew poses before assembly; mixing both in one batch weakens the silhouette.

How many crew should I build for an artillery piece?

The product listing does not specify a crew size, so check your ruleset or scenario for the required number. Build the full set if you want spares for different guns or vehicle assignments. Confirm your game's crew requirement before deciding how many to assemble.

What loadout options should I plan for?

The modular arms are the main loadout variable. Decide whether each figure is loading, aiming, or riding, then match the arm angle to that job. Keep leftover arms labeled by pose for future conversions. Sort arms by pose before assembly so each crew member has a clear job.

How do I keep the crew looking consistent on the table?

Use a shared basing scheme and repeat one or two arm poses across the crew. Rolled sleeves take washes and layered highlights well, so a simple uniform recipe keeps the group reading as one unit. Repeat a pose or two across the crew to tie the unit together.
