Thanks for this - bearing in mind they’ve invested over £250 k in this project then I think we’re doing pretty well. I appreciate peoples comments re lack of certain unit types but unlike metal then sales have a big impact on the investment. Rifles in close order can be painted as the other light battalions who still wore stovepipe and militia battalions. Like you I look forward to working in plastic and doing ‘paint conversions’ and I think John made it clear the epic comes from the visuals of having a lot of figures on a base rather than small bases. I think it’s exciting and a welcomed arrival
Thank you for watching Graham. I’m with you completely on all of that, I’ve had a close look at the Rifles and they can definitely paint up as red coats, the rifles and sword bayonets are quite visible, but you have to look for it, and on the tabletop you’re not really going to notice at all.
Great video. Will join the FB group. 🦕🦕🦕
Thank you, and will be great to have you over in the group.
Great revue,looking forward to getting them,think I will still only do four cavalry to a stand and keep it at three stands to a unit.....cos I'm tight.
Thank you.
I’ve just cleaned up the British Heavy Dragoons, once all on the base they form up pretty tight, I don’t think four on a base would look all that bad really.
I think this’ll be my route too.
that is so exciting!
thank you for sharing!
Thank you for watching 😊
Thank you for watching 😊
Pity the Le Haye Sainte hasn't got the western door between the barns
Someone else mentioned that, I must admit I still haven’t looked closely. I think they’re just shrunk down versions of the Sarrisa Precision 28mm kits, might check to see if it’s missing in that scale too.
Really enjoyed this again mate - still not at all interested for myself but I really enjoy your videos and it's nice seeing how excited you are :-) Damian
Cheers dude, and thank you for watching 😊
Lovely review Stuart I'll wait untill I get the magazine,but buying this epic stuff will be a little expensive
Thank you. Yes I have a feeling it’s going to add up 😅
Thanks for bringing news hot off the press.
😂 Thank you for watching, looking forward to doing some painting videos now.
Looks awesome I’m looking forward to ECW. I’m still Painting ACW so will behave and not get this one lol. Great video👍👍
Thank you. I admire your willpower 😅
Really enjoyed this video! :) thank you for it :)
Thanks for watching dude
Honestly I agree with the guys the made it so if want the unit like Belgium etc just paint the to be what you want
Yep couldn’t agree more, at this scale you can do a lot with ‘painting conversions’. That won’t be for everyone, but that’s cool as well, plenty of options out there.
Could the figures be dry-fitted into the bases so they could be gamed with and then painted later?
Yep they have holes in the bases when they push in, you may need to tac to hold them if they keep falling out, but the blue and red plastic mean you can play them as they are if you wish.
@@MiniatureRealms brilliant thanks.
Nice review, the miniatures look very nice. Do we know the size of the infantry bases. I'm thinking of using them for, absolute emperor.
Thank you. The bases used for Infantry and Cavalry are 60mm x 20mm.
@@MiniatureRealms thanks that does have potential for absolute emperor.
Thanks for the video. Appreciate the info. Really hard to get a sense of the sprues. How are the mold lines?
Not too bad at all, and easy to remove. If you check out my video from today with the review of the unreleased sprues I give a closer look and talk about it a bit.
@@MiniatureRealms thanks. I did watch, I was having a hard time seeing the actual figures. The colored plastic made it tough to see. But they look great and I can’t wait to get them!
Yeah the red and blue plastic does make it very hard to see them clearly, the Infantry I’ve been sent is a pre-production grey and it’s a little easier, but still not super clear at this scale.
People are going to have a lot of spare Carabiniers if they decide to actually make more than a weird unhistorical Heavy Cavalry Brigade, why not have seperate sprues of each different type of Cavalry? After looking at what is on offer in the box sets it does look like they really don't care too much about getting things that accurate (but they are the people that made Bolt Action so...).
Yeah there’s going to be a few in balances of numbers, I can only assume it’s a cost thing.
There’s six Cavalry types per side (three light/three heavy and two/three more on the announced Prussian sprue coming next year), and I guess they just couldn’t/didn’t want to invest in. That would be fifteen sprues Vs the five they are using to cover the same sculpts. John Stallard said in an interview that it’s current £25k to get a plastic sprue tooled, I’m not sure if that’s total cost from design to ‘ready to cast’, but I can understand why they’ve gone the route they have.
It’s definitely not perfect though, but I think this release is aimed at a market where the idea of getting lots of plastic models on the table at a reasonable budget is they goal. The are obviously plenty manufacturers out there that can cover this period in multiple scales, so something for everyone.
I love the release, just was hoping the Dutch/Belgian infantry got a sprue as well as the other Allied German factions, weird only 3 Scottish regiments of infantry at Waterloo and they get a sprue? oh well.
Yeah I can see what you’re saying, from the point of view of numbers of each troop type at Waterloo then it seems odd. It will be a commercial decision though, men in skirts will sell more 😂
@@MiniatureRealms lol so true, but should be able to get away with just painting up british sprues as dutch and kgl with some file work.
Yep absolutely, I think Warlord are going to be putting up some ‘painting conversions’ articles, think Dutch and Belgians are included.
i think i heard you can paint the french frames as them , somewhere . Only 3 scots Regts with kilts I think
Yep I think Warlord mentioned that on the community blog, and John Stallard as well during interview.
Yeah but did you take them to task and question what on earth they were thinking sculpting a very small unit in line! I hope you told them that was a bad idea, I foresee many strips of 95th in line going to waste
😂 No I didn’t take them to task, they’ve explained why in their latest blog and I’m guessing that will remain the official line. Like you I’d have preferred skirmishing line, Hanoverians or a Stovepipe wearing infantry to represent those regiments still wearing them, but 🤷♂️
I’ve got some plans for them, so I might be the strange person buying peoples leftovers 😂
I hope the release some Austrians!
That would be awesome, maybe if the sales are amazing they will be tempted
60mm base size. 240mm frontage for one battalion....wasted opportunity to at least allow a 10 man strip to be halved.
Frontage is definitely a question, it was with the ACW release as well. I’ve seen a lot of ACW strips cut in half and based on smaller bases, I expect people will do lots of similar things.
I’m going to explore some ideas in a future video, potentially when I review them once my order arrives.
@@MiniatureRealms I'll look forward to watching it. Perhaps it will change my mind in a future purchase.
