Thanks bud! Im not the best to ask regarding the resin as these are the first warlord resin miniatures I’ve owned. I’m not 100% sure about the durability of the material however the detail in the castings they’ve have managed to achieve is great. I know these will be a joy to paint
I do like the figures but to be a nit pick, Warlord is trying to sell one box that should be three different ones. Union kepi hats, Union slouch/ western hats, and then a stand alone Confederate box with a variety of headgear and uniforms. I wish they would be less generic for the ACW range.
I can only assume they’re Trying to make the most of the sculpts they have available? I’m not so clued up on the forgotten glorious range so I’m Not sure what sculpts warlord now have. I do hope we see more releases in the future which might solve some of your issues with the range so far.
Totally agree, but that`s Warlord style marketing, isn`t it?! If I remember right F&G offered a first batch of guys in frock coat with caps (mainly the firing & attacking published now again), the 14th Brooklyn (now "Zouaves Regiment") with some 25 sculpts and a more extensive range for the Iron Brigade with hats (mixed into boxes). In addition there were command packs for federals and rebs so to decide for yourself what side -at least your outfit in frocks and caps- should take in the end. That`s somehow as it is by standard when buying metals and building your units. Warlord took, what seems to be available and organized them into generic boxes mainly based on poses. Okay. But for my taste most accoutrements tend more to early war federals while there stays some problems with the headgear. The other way round it is with early rebs...Perhaps would have been best if they would offer smaller boxes, but in this case I think we had to face a shocking price for these nice minis ;-)
@@Forcade23 i do Hope we see some Iron brigade miniatures in the near future? But yes warlord has taken an old range and tried to make it more “universal” which should make these miniatures more useful for collectors?
Some of them have already been included in the recent boxes, but there were more. So, yes, maybe Iron Brigade is next. "Universal", well, we already saw this with the ACW epics starter box. Of course, the owner of the minis has complete freedom to declare the minis to be federal or rebel at any time. But things that are historically more specific or at least will feel more right from a historical perspective will not be changed for the better by declaring 14th Brooklyn minis a generic ACW "Zouaves Regiment" or providing an obviously confederate officer with a blue coat. Seems to me that marketing & gaming are simply more in focus than other aspects of certain importance (at least for me).
I`m thinking if you break one of these in ownership, how easy are this resign figures to repair? Or are you going end up with a lot of broken muskets? I`m also struggling to see the generic theme Warlord are doing for this range. The are so meticulous for their Bolt Action minis. I`m thinking Warlords are not that bothered.
Well I’ve successfully managed to repair the broken miniatures I’ve had so I’m not worried about that. I think warlord are making the most of the range they bought, from interviews how passionate John stallard is about the American civil war I doubt warlord are “not that bothered”. I think they saw this as a cheaper way of releasing an 28mm range and have had to make some sacrifices with the range from old glorious. I’m Sure if warlord games were to sculpt their own range it would be different to what we have here maybe.
@@KingMATTtheSuperior Its only the ACW was "my" period that caught me as an historical interest. Both side s didn't have fancy uniforms, but did have a recognisable style through out the war. I`ve also re-enacted it, and folks go to some efforts to "get it right" in their impression. There always some nit pickers in the crowd that knew better. Also some very well read people that knew a lot about ACW uniforms. My passion is a lot less now, but still irritates me to see OH they will do for both sides.
Similar height but I have found the warlord games sculpts are thinner in the body. Once I’ve painted them up I’ll do a video where I should them next to some Perrys plastics 👍
Great unboxing I do like those new ones 👍👍🤠🤠🤠
Thanks! These sculpts do look great! Im sure I’m going enjoy painting these up
Warlord is definitely upping their resin game. Nice unboxing.
Thankyou :)
Really appreciate getting a look at the casts in these videos.
I hope people are finding these videos useful :)
Indeed, nicely done and helpful! Indeed wasn`t sure if arms would be separate again... Thanks Matt!
@@Forcade23 no problem :) glad it’s of use
Good review Matt
Thankyou Neil 👍
Good, interesting review.
Thanks VK!
Nice unboxing and look at the miniatures mate,is the resin better than the first lot of miniatures they produced in resin

If something is broken -as it was with the first boxes- simply send it back. Warlord replaced my items on very short notice.

That’s what I’ve done in the past with miniatures fresh out of the box broken.

How do these Resin minis stack up against the Perry acw minis, as far as scale, mate?

@ That’ll be great man. Are you on Instagram?
