Yes from spring 1862 all the iron brigade uniforms were regulated the same. All with Hardee hats. Prior to this they were much different. Some even wearing grey uniforms like at the first bull run, where they received friendly fire because of it. I’ve only used the plastic kepi troops in the rear ranks to save on money buying the warlord metals. All the front ranks have the Hardee hats so the rear ranks aren’t as noticeable. It was just a case of wallet v accuracy and I went with wallet. I probably should of explained my choices more in the video

Thanks buddy. I got them from Warbases

@@leont66wargaming31 thank you very much for the info. I will buy them too for my valor & fortitude project for epic napo. Ideal bases with split strips like you showed in the vid. big thumbs up!

@klauszoidberg999 you’re welcome mate and thanks for watching

hi Paul. The bases are 60x30 on 2mm mdf and I get them from Warbases. However I’m going to rebase them soon so I can make the bases more scenic like I’ve done with my Epic ACW bases. I’ll still be doing half a strip to a base but making them wider. I’ll be going for 60x60 2mm mdf. Here’s the video about my new basing ideas th-cam.com/video/TZ63UB4XdfQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JY2LXk7vrBUQ4K0n

@leont66wargaming31 Much appreciated Leon !!! Yes the scenic basing looks exellent ,like mini dioramas and the units look great . Look forward to seeing them rebased.Got me thinking 🤔.Will you be diving into ancients at all? I think they would also look great with the scenic bases. Cheers buddy !!

Thanks Paul. I am very tempted with the ancients, but I’ve got such a huge backlog of things to paint I’m resisting temptation (barely lol). So until I get all my ACW and Napoleonics painted I’m not going to get them. He says… 😆

@@jole2964 thanks buddy.

Thanks buddy

Thanks buddy. I bought them already printed so I’m not sure what % they were done at. Sorry

Thanks

Wouldn’t mind getting that book myself. Both my parents were Dutch although I was born in England. I served in the Royal Electrical Mechanical Engineers

@@leont66wargaming31 Nice, my grandmother's sister fled to England just before the occupation and married over there, I got family in the UK I know little about, our countries have a lot of shared history, it always fascinated me.

Thanks mate.

I do have instagram but I don’t use it very much. Leon Frank on there. I’m planning on painting some Epic ACW once I’ve got the Austrians finished. I’ll do a video of everything I have so far just before I start a new regiment

@leont66wargaming31 good to know!

Thanks buddy. Yep definitely useful if you’re out and about lol. Got mine off Amazon

Thanks buddy

Thanks mate. You mean I still have to do the painting..?? What a con 😆🤣😆

Thanks mate 😊

Cheers mate

Thanks mate

Thanks mate. I’ll let you know how it goes get on with them.

Thanks buddy

I don’t know about that for sure, however I don’t think so

Thanks buddy 🙂

Thanks buddy. Yeah be nice to see you back

Hi mate. Yes I’ve played a few games of it. Enjoyed them but not really my thing.

Thanks mate

Thanks mate

Thanks mate

No, I haven’t added any more. They do have a lot bigger range now. Some very nice stuff. Unfortunately my hobby budget means I have to choose between one thing or another and they got cut.

@leont66wargaming31 I was tempted in buying some for getting some games in , but they are a bit pricey

Warlord have a sale on right now if you’re planning on jumping in. The sprue’s are 50% off. Could get everything for a bargain

@@leont66wargaming31 thanks !id better dip in quick . I need something to get me painting . I’ve just found some of my old Landwehre cavalry and 5 regiments of hussars swords btoken so I’ll get to before I loose enthusiasm.

Sorry mate I don’t know

lol. I just like a bit of Lego. It’s a nice break from having to paint anything

@@leont66wargaming31 you're wasting your talents

@bearcub460 I’m still doing my Austrians. I had to take a short break as my brush situation was causing me trouble. I’ve invested in some new brushes now. More about that in my next video lol.

@@leont66wargaming31 You love Austria.

Thanks mate. The no painting is my favourite part 😆

Cheers mate

Thanks mate. All good. Hope you’re doing well

😆😂🤣. Anything to save some painting 😆😂🤣

They are yes. However I’m going to rebase them at some point so I can make them more scenic like my ACW. They’ll all be on 30x40 bases then.

Hahaha yep, I want to get the Ancients as well. I just can’t justify adding to my mountain lol. I might consider it if I can at least get one project finished…

@leont66wargaming31 the hannibal set is a monster. I went for the Roman army starter which is now in the pile of opportunities.

@bjkernowpaintingandmodelli9119 it’s a pity you’re so far away or I’d of got the Carthage set so we could have some games lol.

@@leont66wargaming31 yes as that would have been cool

Thanks buddy.

The British work fine for Belgians. I used on unit of French for Dutch but they’re not really close enough in my opinion. So I won’t be doing anymore. I have seen some 3D prints for the Dutch, they also do cavalry. I’ll see if I can find a link

Hi mate. Yeah a lot of work but I only have to paint 8 men at a time which makes it a bit more palatable. The plastics are just normal Perrys. I’m just painting them up as Grenzers and mixing them in with the metals. I’m doing a test model as we speak 😂

Be good to see how they turn out. Wondered if I’d either missed a new plastic release or you’d done some fancy kit bashing.

Yeah nothing new or kit bashed. Hopefully I can do it with just paint. Struggling a bit with what blue to use at the moment 😂

Thanks buddy. I base all my independent command officers on circular bases. So yes that’s cool. I just tend to put a mounted officer in a unit for variety. Plus if I need to identify any battalions as elite or with special rules, I can use the ones with mounted officers in the unit to easily identify them on the gaming table.

Thanks buddy

Thanks buddy. Hopefully I’ll keep going for a while now lol

When I first saw them I wasn’t too impressed with them, however once they’re all painted up and now I’ve mixed in a few Kallistra infantry I really like them. I’m thinking of getting or making movement trays for mine, it does take time moving all the individual bases. I think it’s great to try out different rules lol. Makes it so you get more than one use out of your armies

Thanks mate. I reckon doing units of 9 that can become 18 should work ok for the cavalry in that case 🤞🤣.

Thanks mate

Thanks mate.

Thanks mate 😊

Thanks buddy 😊

Thanks buddy. Yes the Russians would be the same lol. Fortunately I don’t have any Russians. Yet….
