Welcome back to the channel, today we are looking at the new sprues from ‪@warlordgames‬ for the new Epic Punic Wars line for Hail Caesar. In this video i take a look at the main Roman frame as well as the kit for the Carthaginian War Elephants. I am going to be working towards getting battle reports on the table ready for the release of this awesome looking set.

Amazing work, the speed at which you’ve knocked them out hasn’t sacrificed the quality of the paint job. Would definitely love to see some battle reports and painting videos! :)

@oldschoolfrp2326 27 дней назад

Thanks for the dive into these. The sculpting & casting does look better than some other epics, and yours look great painted up. As much as I love the character of 28mm figures this is a better scale for the big armies of this period. I’ve been collecting them in 15mm so I’ll be hoping to get a sprue bundled with a WI issue to compare scales.

@7thson726 27 дней назад

Thanks buddy, I can't comment too much on the comparison with the other Epic lines as I didn't jump on those but the sculpts here are detailed and crisp for the scale 👍

@7thson726 25 дней назад

So, for the Hastarti the shields Are Blood Angels red with a wash of AP strong tone the stippled Scarlett. All the bodies were done with Dreadful Visage first then I picked out different ones with various reds and sepias. The Principes and the Triariai were a lot easier as it was chainmail so that's just any silver with AP strong tone. The shields were yellow contrast with the dirty red wash from AK. Hope that helps

@Edward-Plantagenet 27 дней назад

Really like your 28mm videos, even if I’m not into all the periods, having a significant investment in 15mm already though means it’s not a route I can go down, particularly given all the terrain needs that go with it, terrain again that I already have in 15mm. I really like this Epic release, I have the Napoleonics that I plan to use with the Blucher rule set (will keep the AB 18s for brigade games) and again, did I not already have these armies in 15mm I’d have been interested in these. Only thing I’m not keen on with the Epic stuff, and haven’t been all along, is the 60mm base widths, 40 would have been much better IMO.

@robertbeattie5661 26 дней назад

Mega dittos to all the positive comments about the great painting. These figures look quite useful. What size/scale are they. What is the width of the ''oreo." These might well serve for DBA based on 60mm frontage for giant games. By the way, from your prior research do you think that Carthage elephants were like Indian ones with the big houdah. I have seen these as now extinct forest elephants that were small and were ridden "bare back." Looking forward to the next installments, thanks.

@7thson726 21 день назад

@ukoptom 27 дней назад

Hi Martin. Looking forward to viewing battle report. Whilst the emphasis is obviously on the ‘epic’ nature of battles to be had, it would be great to know just how few sprues could be painted up to have a meaningful game. Is it possible to have a skirmish type game with just one or two sprues per side and then add to this for larger conflicts as time goes on? What makes a sensible minimal force? Regards,

@7thson726 24 дня назад

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to comment. This is certainly something I can make a comment on. I have had some great games with only 1 division at 28mm but I'll have a look at the sprues and work it out for a future video. If you break it down it may be that the division boxes can be broken down to make small battle forces 👍 I'll have a look and report back 😁

@oriaj593 26 дней назад

I started a Pyrrhic War project last year in 28mm. Watching this video, I'm not convinced by these miniatures. How easy are they to paint? It seems like a monotonous and inflexible process (in the end all the bases will end up looking the same, right?) postscript: I love this channel especially the first crusade campaign. I haven't seen new videos in a while. I would love to see it through to its conclusion.
