I have a spare set of guns painted to represent abandoned if necessary. I used to have them loose and they would move and knock figures so now they are all...
I just glue them down. It doesn't seem that leaving the guns on the field without the crew ever really is important in games, but YMMV. Some of the locals...

I have probably asked this before, what is the best matt varnish? I generally brush on a polyurethane gloss varnish on all my figures first (for durability)...
Hi Scott, I think this is as much a question of doing your prep properly as the brand of varnish you choose. I happen to use Winsor and Newton acryic matt...
