Much obliged! Cheers. :D They're really wonderful sculpts, I have to admit. I think the proportions on them really lend themselves both to printing and painting - I feel like I can actually play with them without holding my breath when I pick the buggers up, and they don't look cartoonish either. Can't wait to see what you do next!
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio that’s nice to hear, thank you. I’m an old school sculptor so I know a miniature might look nicer with realistic proportions, but it won’t survive the battlefield for long 😄 Spanish next 👍
One of the interesting aspects of the Napoleonic period was how colorful the uniforms were and this one looks really good! Thanks for sharing this tutorial.
That's a neat looking mini. A game like Silver Bayonet, with less than a dozen minis needed, is about the only way I could be tempted to take on Napoleonics. 😱
Neat! given the way the cheap dyes used on Napoleonic uniforms faded in the the weather, I'd expect a lot of variation in coat colours on troops in the feild.
Great work! BTW, interested in doing a comparison regarding protecting varnishes (e.g. Instar vs Vallejo vs XY, etc.), their different "outcomes" when handled "wrong" and/or wearing off tests? I find this an interesting and never-ending topic. Cheers!
It's a great, low-intensity way to paint up a few Napoleonic figures without having to be too concerned about lace and buttons. But it's _also_ a great step into the research if it interests you at all!

This should be adaptable to my Hessians which I have been meaning to get past the "anxiety stage" on. Have you done any AWI videos? I don't remember seeing any.
For large battle games, Warlord or Perry Miniatures are your go-to choices. The plastic Perry Miniatures stuff can be a little bit of work to assemble, but the price is right, where the Warlord guys are more the size and shape you'd expect of 'heroic scale' miniatures. Otherwise, for Silver Bayonet the game's actually surprisingly well-supported already by North Star if you don't mind metal!

The green looks fine to me. Of course my memory isn't what it was and it WAS a long time ago.
Need to see you make a "veterans react" video on Tolstoy
Thanks so much for the shoutout for Lost Heresy. Always nice to see someone enjoying painting one of my figures. Excellent video as always 👍👍👍
I didn't realise these were your sculpts Bill, really nice work mate 👏 👍
@@JackSargePainting guilty as charged. Thanks matey 🙂

@@billthornhill1921 Now those should be exciting! They had some pretty wicked uniforms going, if my reading is right. 😂

Well done. These models are such a treat to work with. I find the hidden details like wooden stakes, holy symbols and even garlic bulbs very clever.
I told you that you'd cost me money for these things! 😂
Great advice and nice painting strategy. :)
Excellent once again. I very much want to do some Silver Bayonet units. Cheers!
thanks for sharing your methods & the chat about different range/colors that can be used.

Your insert of the colour names saved me today. Because "Just a skin" did not make mich sense for me, however Jasper Skin does😅
Yeah, I think my accent does slip through occasionally. ✌
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio I see it more as the trouble of a non-native speaker and not of your accent

Great work dude 👍👍
Fun video and fantastic mini!
"Any old green will do " !!!!!! Are you mad man! LOL 😄Awesome as ever 👍
The uniform police will be out for me!
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio True, but I think you baited them somewhat with you throw away remark 😆
4:20 I honestly doubt early 19th century dyeing was consistent enough for any one green colour to be the actual correct one.
Yup! Pretty sure that's the approach the Tzar took at the time, too. 😂

I heard of silver bayonet. Glad you did a mini from it
He did, in fact, paint a couple more. Even a werewolf!
An enjoyable vid. and another great result! Thank you.
Well, this is a coincidence. I've just ordered my first bunch of figures for Silver Bayonet.
Between you and @PeachyTips I might have to try Silver Bayonet. 🎉

Liked this one cheers
Really cool. 👍

Too many army painter paints used, but I am a Vallejo fan 😉

For those of us without 3D printers, what Napoleonic miniatures do you recommend? Warlord Games?
For large battle games, Warlord or Perry Miniatures are your go-to choices.

The plastic Perry ones are pretty easy to assemble - just bodies, heads and backpacks. Not as complicated as their British or 1809 French
You can order physical models from Lost Heresy. They are printed on demand so it may take a week or two but they are outstanding figures.
Sad that vampire hunter equipment wasn’t standard
Any old tent stake works in a pinch.
