Warlord Games very kindly sent me some more frames for the upcoming Epic Battles Hail Caesar Punic Wars. I wasn't able to cover these in the first video so I decided to record another short one, cover some size comparisons that people have asked for. Also watch to the end to find out to win a full Pike & Shotte set.

At the risk of enlarging my backlog i cant say no to more miniatures! Especially from such a great period. That being said, I've also ordered the Hail Caesar boxset so I'm really glad you'll be continuing to cover it. Best of luck doing the draw by hand!!

@joshuathackaberry2175 Ай бұрын

warlord games have really been hitting it out of the park with their epic range, low barrier of entry compared to how expensive the hobby can get in other games and not to mention the awesome sculpts theyve done.

@MiniatureRealms Ай бұрын

I completely agree, a great way to get into a new period or even start historical wargaming

@simonwilliams3546 Ай бұрын

Have to admit you get a lot of bang for your wargaming pound out of Warlord Games Epic scale, they drew me back into the hobby with their ACW set. And honestly you can't even buy as many 6mm figures for the price😮

My first historical miniature wargames was Koenig Krieg with flat lead minis in the 1980's. My mini game buddies are super excited to get this range from Warlord.

I think Hail Caeser is definitely one of the more visually impactful "Epic" scale games Warlord puts out. Love the mix of vibrant tones that contrast with the earthy metals

I've almost finished two starter sets for the ACW and two of the combined Cavalry boxes for Epic ACW. Interesting to see how the scale has crept up. I have some metal ACW cavalry that I got second hand and was disappointed that they looked out of place. I intend to get a starter box for Hannibal and then decide whether to expand the Celts. Thank you.

It’s really interesting to see how much they learnt from the ACW release.

@CloakingDonkey 18 күн бұрын

I was really sceptical when they first showed the ACW epic battles sprues but now I'm totally hooked on it :D It's a really great way to play huge battles when you don't have room for more than a 4x6

I've wanted to get into full-scale Hail Caesar, especially focused on the medieval periods, but seeing this at Salute immediately had me more excited for this than for Age of Sigmar 4, which has been my main source of gaming anticipation this year. It's decades since I painted Epic stuff and the number of sprues is pretty daunting, so I'll undoubtedly keep an eye on this channel for painting tips!

@MiniatureRealms Ай бұрын

These sets are certainly stunning, really tempting ways of getting into new historical periods. Very different style of gaming to AOS as well, so a perfect way of changing the pace once in a while.

@philipbowles5397 Ай бұрын

@@MiniatureRealms Part of the appeal of Hail Caesar specifically to me is that as I've seen it described it's essentially Warmaster, a game I always liked but among very few GW games from that era I never bought into, and now at the originally intended scale (or close to it).

@christophermontgomery5106 Ай бұрын

Wonderful video - thanks! I'm a big fan of the Epic size . . . I wrote Warlord a few weeks ago that I felt they should print the sprues with 30mm widths so that the miniatures could be based on 30mm bases and be used with tonnes of additional rulesets. The 60mm widths of the castings make them only useful for a limited range of rules. I feel they would sell more of the sets if the sprues were cast for 30mm widths - they don't even need to include other bases, as fans could buy those. I understand that they would have to recast so many of their products that it is probably not worth the expense at this point. Now come on for Epic Medieval! Thanks for the give away, too. Very cool.

@MiniatureRealms Ай бұрын

Thank you. Epic Medieval (of some flavour) would be excellent.

@chrisreilly7507 Ай бұрын

I have tended to gravitate towards 6mm minis as you get that feel of a big battle. Warlord have achieved something very special in their epic range as they have found the sweet spot between incredible detail and the feel of a lot of minis in a battle. I have never played any ancients or ECW but their boxes are very tempting as an entry into the period...

@MiniatureRealms Ай бұрын

I think I’d normally be drawn to 6 or 10mm myself for large battles, but they’ve certainly managed to capture the essence of those in 15mm.

@docmunoz9545 Ай бұрын

All these new releases from warlord games epic scale, remind me of when I used to go to woolworths as a kid and I would see a new release from airfix. The excitement on sering them getting them home was so enjoyable. Well done to warlord games . Keep up the fantastic work.

@MiniatureRealms Ай бұрын

I think they’d be very happy to hear that, just the kind of thing they’re after with Epic.

@nathanhillier-daines7566 Ай бұрын

I can't honestly say this period has ever had much interest to me, but the new sprues look incredibly interesting to try just from a point of 'newness'! I'm not sure if Warlord will be doing what they usually do with Epic releases and giving away a free frame with WI monthly issues, but that might be a fun way to follow along with your painting tutorial!

@MiniatureRealms Ай бұрын

I’m very similar to use on this period, but the miniatures are lovely, it’s a fun way to dabble in a period. I’m not sure about WI, but my guess would be doing the same again.

I also have the impression in the epic range the ACW "feels" smaller due to the basic uniforming of the armies. They don't have shako's (for height) compared to Napoleonics, or bulkier / floppier uniforms like the ECW. This in some way also makes them look way smaller then their counterparts in a way.

@MiniatureRealms Ай бұрын

Yes absolutely. While they’re slightly smaller when measured to the eye, the smaller head wear definitely accentuates it for sure.
