BLACK POWDER EPIC BATTLES - THE WATERLOO CAMPAIGN | STRAIGHT OF THE BOX! 

We have found that reducing everything by 1/2 makes a perfect game. (two guns for an arty battery, 2 stands for inf & cav regiments) Large enough to get several brigades on the table and involve 4 to 6 players. Small enough to look impressive on a 4x6 foot table. Also, your figures go twice as far. We even made rulers marked in 1/2 inch segments. We just continue to refer to inches but we're actually measuring half inches without any confusion. Works a treat!

I'm really impressed with the use of coloured plastic as players can genuinely play straight from the box without having to wait an age to use painted figures. This could start a trend

It is thanks to the fact that you went into the 15mm scale that I finally decided to buy your models! I love the fact that I buy 2 boxes and l have 2 armies ready to play. The next army on my list this month is the Prussians. I am very grateful because thanks to you I entered the period of the Napoleonic Wars, which I had been dreaming about for a long time. I am going to advertise your system in my city because it is "epic";) Thanks again for your great job Warlord Games!

I'm doing exactly what was said at 4:46. This will be my first foray into historical wargames, after playing some fantasy ones. Really looking forward to it.

Playing without painting.... Genius! Now I might need a couple more box sets....

Nice to see the man behind Arcane Scenery, a company I've bought from for years.

I’m still struggling through my ACW army build and paint. I like the way one can field unpainted armies (red and blue). Attention challenged will possibly take longer to complete a painted army but depending on your paint style each figure of a strip on 10, can take “almost” as long to do as an individual 10mm or 15mm figure!! Bottom line…well done Warlord Games!!!

It's why I loved Warmaster and Battle Of Five armies - the games Black Powder evolved from; it feels far more like an army.

Thank you for creating this video! Great look at the product in action.

My starter sets arrived today just in time for the weekend. They're great! Mega pleased with the product... in particular, the new a5 book is stunning! Have fun everyone!

Really enjoyed this video and agree with all that was said. Picked up a "free" sprue of French Cavalry from WI issue and used GW contrast paints (mostly) to paint a couple. Very happy with the result. I don't see me getting into this soon but look forward to other armies coming along later: Austria, Russia in particular.

My buddy Rob and I just invested into the mega bundle that shares the terrain with French, Prussians and English armies. Seeing this is really encouraging as it means we can play day one, then start taking our time to paint them up. Really excited about playing!

Cannot Wait to get our hands on this! Sadly missed out on the preorders but hoping one of the LGS in Ontario will be getting some so we can do some unboxings and batreps! Always wanted to get into Napoleonic's but haven't had the courage till now!

Cant wait to get mine at the store, and Im doing just like you guys, play right out of the box.

I'm so glad I didn't commit to 28mm scale I just knew I wanted to go corps size engagements so glad this is available I've orders starter sets with 2 extra brigades each and waiting for the guards and highland brigade but will have 19 battalions/regiments for each side

Miss spending Mondays/Tuesdays on Twitch with you gents. Hope things are well back at HQ!

Nice video, great idea re bane of many which is the painting side..and for which of course (fielding unpainted figures) it was traditional to have to take a bit of stick.

Fun video Thanks!

Totally plan on playing just like this. That’s what I’m doing with epic us civil war. Life is too short to wait for painted armies!

Going to sound like a broken record here but warlords missed a trick by the width of the number of figures .....if they had put a 5 or 6 man frontage then I'd say others like me would have bought this and happily gamed other rules with other club members but heyhoo. Great video though and the guys seemed to enjoy their day and that's what it's all about.

I agree it's nice to be able to just play , but painting is part of the fun I love to see two fully painted armies go at each other. I was very impatient my step father got be painting models , really helps you relax and dare i say teaches you patience in general. I hate non painted armies lol 😆 so much of the joy of war gaming is painting 🖼 👌

Awesome! Best release ever!

Actually love this scale i already started using risk miniatures so this is amazing to add

Great video. They look amazing on the table top. 🌶🌶🌶🦕🦕🦕

2 days to delivery here in Denmark. cant w8!

Just bought a box of British absolutely love it

I am looking forward to getting into the epic waterloo battles. I just hope the range is produced in a timely manner. I see imperial Guard and Highlanders coming soon. Hopefully we get the command sets soon with the personalities of the battle. We also need the Prussians. Also looking forward to other epic games for Hail Caesar and Pike and Shotte

I’m retired. I have a lifetime collection of 1:72 Napoleonic figures. French, British & Prussians. Hundreds of figures. Artillery, Infantry, Calvary. Prussian, British & French commanders figures as well. I also have the La Haye Sainte 1:72 Waterloo set. I’m going to paint & base them over the next couple of months. What rules can I use to play a table top game with them? When basing them I will use Canadian pennies ( no longer legal tender) as individual soldier bases & will then make a penny indent into thin styrofoam larger squares. Should I mount them in 2 figures by 3 figures or 2 figures by 4 figures? Should they be in 3 by 4 groupings? I’m excited about the project. I’ve a friend who’s going to help for the first couple of weeks. Hopefully we will get a game in before he has to head back home.

They are Relly having fun

I want to get into this game. Me and My son love table top warhammer but it so expensive and the painting. I been looking for a fun game me and him can play. He will be 20. We just went to tabletop pax. They had this cool jousting game I want to look into also. But the revolution war looks fun. Line infantry and all. I want to be Prussia I think or maybe 🇷🇺

Had me worried for a minute ! "From Box to Table" has been a regular feature on Yarkshire Gamer for about 10 years, I thought I'd put a video out I'd forgotten I'd recorded 😄

looks great, cant wait to get mine in the store!!

I'm a little confused about what product this is. It says "straight out of the box," does that mean this is a single boxed set? Because the only Waterloo starter sets I'm finding for sale with red and blue figures are individual army sets.

The two starter sets on a 6x4 table?

When I grow up, I wanna be as classy as these gents.

So I'm confused, is this actually a smaller-scaled black powder, or "normal" black powder but with 15mm (13.5mm?) figures instead of 28mm? What I mean is, does it require the same gigantic tables and such that the non-Epic game has, or is this designed for smaller tables? Is it functionally the same game or are there tweaks for the smaller scale? Table size/space required has been the biggest factor for me getting into Black Powder, without having to do some modifications and stuff myself.

cool

So are you going to do Austrian's White, Russian''s green and Prussians Grey? Id be good with that.

But of tou want play direct from the box and then paint the minis, how you fo that whitout glue them?

the epic scale has different rules than the 28mm ?

I'd love to have a copy of this game to paint on my RU-vid channel

What size figures are they?

How many boxes were on the table?

My question is, how detailed is the System ? Would be nice to hear sth

Where’s the old guard ?

Thx for uploading. Do not waste your time = P r o m o S M !

Hola amigos y donde están los prusianos y plancenoit?? Y donde esta Hougoumont??? Bien recreado todo pero el campo de batalla no está completo..se ve el caserío de la haya santa y esa gran granja a la izquierda debe de ser Smohain o tal vez frisermont o la papelotte defendidas por infantería de línea de Nassau. Pero faltan partes del campo de batalla.una pena.
