This is probably one of the best boxed sets I’ve ever purchased. Really well thought it. The sprues are quite nice and cover enough bases to get started in Napoleonics. The rulebook is great, the flags, and the building in each starter army are great touches. As daunting as the heaps of sprues are, I’m eager to get into this. I had zero qualms paying $130 or so for each army.
It sure is a cracker... just soooo much to paint.
I would be tempted to paint the shako plumes the wrong colour to outrage any grognards and give me a psychological advantage :) Painting for Advantage!
Pro-move I am sure.
Holy moley that's a lot of figures! Think I'd go mad trying to paint them up, let along making sure they had the right colour plumes and whatnot. Think I'll stick with skirmish games and keep myself relatively sane.
Relatively.
I get that.
A nice look in the box guys. Didn't realise they had the skirmishers in there so a nice suprise. Wonder if Warlord will sell seperate sprues.
You raise a point about the French army, but was same of the British. It was mainly not the army from the Peninsula (some British regt at Waterloo never went spain!)
Yeah, good to see the process evolve as they get more experience.
That look bloody awesome ! I wish I can put my hand on this box soon and find someone in my area to play with (south-shore of Montréal) !
Fingers crossed!
I always learn so much listening to your broadcast! thanks
So glad! You are most welcome.
Looking forward to seeing this tonight 😀
Catch you in the chat then!
I’ve been priming mine today 👍
Ah nice, did you prime them blue, or more traditional black/white
I primed them black and then white over them 👍
Uuurg, it's such a good deal. I'm so tempted to buy, I've always wanted to try Napoleonics but I'd never get a game in with the local Warhammer crowd.
It is a great way to get into the period, in my opinion.
you should get Mark Adkins book on Waterloo he is British and it is sooooo nice. Breaks down unit at Waterlo puls illustrations and statistics on the Battle a real gem!
Sooo many books to read.
E-4 Airman , Agreed .Probably the best book on the subject, especially for a wargamer, it’s called ‘ The Waterloo Companion’
Great vide-o. The unboxing has peaked my interest somewhat, but I'm more interested in the Peninsular, hopefully Warlord will turn to that next.
There is a chance, I think the 95th rifle ranked up on the british sprue are in the right type of hat for the earlier period... by no means certain of that, of course.
@@ModellingforAdvantage Stovepipe all the way for me, none of your new fangled laddy dah Waterloo Belgic Shakos for me,. No Sir!!
@@wilmgrau6206 haha
Maybe a compromise for those not wanting to paint these is to give then a coat of quickshade. Should bring out the detail nicely.
Might work, not sure how it will react to that plastic without some primer.
That's a pretty solid set. Kind of reminds me of Risk lol
Cheers Kev, the original RISK pieces were modelled on this era of uniform.
really nice boxes thank you so much
My pleasure 😊
Lovely unboxing and review guys maybe a playthrough hint hint
Long time to paint all this lot my friend, will be a while before we get anywhere with the set I fear.
Gents really enjoyed this review; especially when I thought I was getting a coaster for my mug 😂.
Glad you enjoyed it! Took me a while to remember what you are referring to there!
Great rapport you guys have. Thanks for the review.
Our pleasure!
Looks very interesting. I'm hoping to see a playthrough with you guys, hint hint 🙂
Would love to, but the painting... oh the amount of painting...
@@ModellingforAdvantage Only 800 more infantry to go!
I'd like to know if the French miniatures are the same as the British ones. I aks becuase as far I as know Warlord released both Confederate and Union with the same miniatures.
They are different
Love your videos! Going pick these up! Currently working on 28mm Pen. looking to do Salamanca but painting takes a while. Also what are you currently reading?
AJP Taylor English history 1914-45.
@@ModellingforAdvantage Thanks! Also I got mine last week. Currently doing the heavy Calvary and there seems to be extra heavy Calvary what should I do with them or any suggestions?
Old Guard, Young Guard, Midgard, Infant Guard...Les Enfants terribles
Midgard sir? On the Rainbow bridge?
How hard is it to find the appropriate regimental uniform colors? Thats what worries me most about Nappy games.
Depends how deep you want to go. There is a guide included in the set for certain regiments that fought at Waterloo - so your pretty safe using those.
