Awesome review there Miller. Great run through of the minis and their variations along with a very good looking size comparison with Steel Fist miniatures. With all your knowledge on the ECW your certainly the channel to watch for this Epic release.

Brilliant review. Now seeing these close up I can see how easy it would be with a scalpel and some miiiput to custom up an Uruk Hai Helms Deep force. The cavalry could be adapted to riders of Rohan by also applying a scalpel and miliput cape. I might buy a second box of Push Of Pike to give it a go

Re. Flags: take a look at what Caliver books have to offer. They currently have some excellent ECW flags which can be bought in 28mm or 15mm. They also have ACW flags that have been resized for Epic, and they may well do this for Pike and Shotte after the figures go on sale.

Great review. They are a lot cleaner and more detailed than I thought they would be. Good to see some close up shots. Good mix of cavalry as well on one sprue.

Great close up review, and the figures do look nice, but I'm confused about the figure ratio. If the 'average' pike and shot Regiment was 2:1 (2 muskets to 1 pikeman) I'm curious as to why they have gone for 40 : 40, ie 1 : 1. Also, the ratio changed as the war went on, from 1:1 early on, through 2:1 and then 3:1 towards the end, so I'm not sure (without major cutting up of the strips) that other ratios of musket to pike can be produced.

@MillersMiniatures
@MillersMiniatures Жыл бұрын
Yer your not wrong as like you say the ratio's are off. I think the easy way around that is to to just add more bases to the musket wings maybe but obviously you would have pikes spare but then I guess the spare pikemen would be good for the earlier ratios 😁👍

great video! Fantastic news about the steelfist. Definitely gonna sub some in. And in terms of flags - flags meant for 10mm figures tend to fit really well on the epic scale minis as they are. 15mm flags don't look too outlandish once the whole unit is together... if one can be bothered to replace the flagpoles :D
