I have some units painted with the new Warlord miniatures sprues from wargames illustrated.
I talk about what I have done to deal with some of the uniform niggles.
it's also my last wargaming video of 2020. So I would like to thank everyone who has supported the channel, and I look forward to doing more next year!!!
Paints used:
Confederates. I undercoated with Corax White Spray.
Contrast for uniforms: Gryph Charager Grey, thats the light grey, Snakebite Leather for the browns and the dark grey is basilicanum grey.
Regular Paints.
XV88 for the rifles, with iron hand steel for the metals.
Light blue trousers i painted over Basilicanum grey, Calgar blue, and highlighted with a touch of fenris grey.
Corvus Black for the blacks.
I used steel legion drab for the beards and hair.
Over the none contrast colours other than blacks, i put Agrax earthshade. This darkens it down, and also blends where 2 colours meet. I also dabbed it in any place my contrast hadn't covered and a spot of white was showing through.
Finally Flesh. I painted the flesh part Wraith Bone, then used Contrast Guilliaman flesh over top.
Union.
Sprayed Corx White.
Top to toe in Ultramarine Blue. My normal method is painting over black. This gave me a dark base to work from, and the jackets were done.
The trousers was calgar and fenris blue. I know people have used Talasaar blue contrast, its too vibrant and otherworldly for my tastes.
Other than that, most things were as above for the confederates.
Blanket rolls i did fenrisian grey, agraxed earthshaded and a touch of highlight.

Thanks and really like the idea of adding Kalistra to the front rank of a base. Definitely helps break up the monotony of the 1x10 strips.

They have come out excellently. Nice to see converting the hats to kepis is no bother.

Thankyou, some projects work so well with contrast, others I struggle. These I enjoyed. My key learning point this time, was not being afraid of using Agrax to darken where 2 colours join, or to hide mistakes.

I like your unit size organisations of 3 standard etc. Warlord have missed a trick here me thinks as 5 to a base would of been better for us Wargamer’s and more particle to show Column for example

I think they look great. I got hold of two copies of the mag and am likely going to use them with things like One-Hour Wargames as, effectively, a battle in a box.

Excellent work! I like how the Confederates and Federals turned out. They look really good standing shoulder to shoulder. Thanks for posting the paints in the description box. The guide on cutting down the hats to make kepis is really helpful, too.

I really like the mods you did! I plan on making them 3 stands as well. With any of the starter sets you can really get some units on the board. With the modifications you did you could even get some flag bearers on some of the smaller size units but treat them as regular sized. Even keep a few 5 base units as regiments at full strength and count as huge. Do the rule sets that come with the boxed sets talk about range modifications for the smaller scale? Again, great video!
@Unclecthulu
@Unclecthulu 3 года назад
I believe the rules will talk about reduction in scale. BP1 rulebook covered this In it's appendices. I did a video about this as well. With 28mm, and playing on a 6x4 we reduced scales by 1/4. Movement bounds being 8 inches for example.

I thought i had, i have 2 massive 10mm armies, but i love the look of these, ranked up. If i was a betting man, i would put money ECW. Its a John Stallard Favourite (he wrote the warhammer historical book), and again 1 sprue can do both sides.

I'd liked to have seen some sprues with exclusively kepis and forage caps; the slouch hat wasn't really a thing in the Union Army, save for certain units, eg The Iron Brigade.
