On The Painting Table 083: Achtung Armour?
I really enjoyed the video, seeing games that are a struggle can be enlightening in their own way. I am looking to start with ACW probably in 28mm and will never go that big more skirmishes than the big battles do you think these rules would work for that? thanks for any thoughts
i think a smaller engagement would work pretty well with these rules, but you also might want to check out Pickett's Charge or even Black Powder too - both good rules
As ever Gents, Brilliant!! Many Thanks👍
Glad you enjoyed it
oh my wonderful!
Lol
Nicely done, I know you have said you get your grass tufts off Amazon, do you know which brand?
@@halfblindbear thanks. These are the ones, great value - Warpainter scenics Landscape Tub of x728 Mixed Tuft Types, Self Adhesive Static Grass amzn.eu/d/gPyo5jV
@@BootsontheTable greatly appreciated it thank you
Well done Dom, glad to hear your feeling better! It certainly does knock you for six. Love those Blue Bellies. Gamer Graham in the Boot Room for Black Powder!....bring it on😄👍
yeah should be fun!
Hope your feeling better soon, covid the gift that keeps giving. just booked our winter jab. on the bright side you have got a bit done.
yes definitely better thanks
Enjoyable vid thank you and what anoutput. I hope that you make a full recovery soon. Cheers.
Thanks 👍, pretty much back to 'normal'
Lovely painting again, mate. Dont know about the Roman invasion of Gaul. I think we'll be playing the Gallic invasion of Rome! By the way, the nostril hairs on those Union troops are the wrong colour mate!😉😅
damn hair nose counters ;)
Looks like I'll have to get another bout of Covid if I want to power through my Hannibal box set then! Joking aside, hope you're feeling better and can get back to gaming as well as painting.
I guess it was a blessing in disguise but I'd rather not get it tbh!
All my references on Russian Jagers is that they were dress in Dark Green, both pants with a red strip, and Tunic, But your figures a nice, just a little lighter on the green, but can claim that they are old uniforms...!!
ah - i looked up so much reference sites and books and I was really unclear so went with the grey. The next one i do should be green - i thought that was for the guard jager though but as I say it wasnt entirely clear to me, but cheers for the direction
You have been busy. Just tested positive for covid myself, so once I have got over the worst I may well be able to get on with some painting. Some lovely stuff there Dom, and agree with you about the yard test, if they look good from that distance that is good enough, which most of mine are as well. 👍
sorry to hear that mate - hopefull you brush it off - for me it was only one day I felt bad, the rest of the time it was sort of nagging for 2 weeks!
Thank you , Dom . 🐺Loupis Canis .
Thank you too!
More great painting progress - I love that “Covid” in the title makes CZcams automatically add Covid facts to your description, to counter all the conspiracy theories and pseudoscience videos
lol i didnt realise that
Great video love your panted epic and all your over bits your ACW looks brilliant better than my ones I have done. Hope you're family feel. better soon and it goes well on Friday for her 👍👍👍🤠🤠🤠
definitely better now thanks mate
Can’t be sure but the Russians look old minifig to me.
the Russians were Perry plastics but I dont think the french were Minifigs - i have quite a few of those in my collection and these look better/newer
Wow! Thats a ton of production! Amazing! Look great!
thanks
Well done, Dom !
cheers Mike
Hope your feeling better,good update a lot of good painting there.I liked your yankees,i finally got round to getting some perry's acw cavalry,now need to find time to do them.I got them through warlord as i wanted the glory book with the sniper figure as well,dont mean to sound ungrateful but for some reason they gave me a free sprue of epic waterloo british infantry?.
thanks very much yes definitely better now. Yes its frustrating that the free sprue doesnt match the order but I guess we should be grateful for freebies!
I mix my Yanks up with the blue regiment to regiment. I think they’re spot on. 👍
many thanks mate - I am pretty satisfied with them
Well done Dom👍
Thanks 👍
Excellent update all round Dom
thanks mate
Loverly work Dom hope you get back to full fitness shortly don't get covid again your wallet will not be able to take it
i certainly had a post covid purchase blitz ;)
Nice Dom and really agree that Epic is all about getting them to the table ….. but it takes a bit of discipline not to get drawn into all the detail! 🙂
completely agree
Nice figures Dom.
thanks
You’ve turned the Yankees into something they weren’t
Oh well they are toys
The Yankees are nice miniatures but the uniform jackets were so blue they were almost black.
Ok thanks for this not the next two. I admit I am no expert on ACW but I am pretty sure there was considerable colour variation in colour and these are under bright lights too
No, regulations simply specified "dark blue", how dark the blue depended on the dye used, how many dippings into the dye the cloth received and how long each dipping was. Indigo was the best and most stable dye for blue at the time but many contractors cut corners and dipped fewer times, the trousers were simpler dipped less to acheive a lighter colour. Some contractors used logwood as a base for a dye which rapidly faded. Indigo didnt fade however the same jacket could look different colours depending how much dirt, dust, moisture, smoke it contained. Not to mention the lighting conditions. Also both jackets and trousers took on a greenish hue after time.
@@andysykes4328 I think some people don't get super hung up on this kind of detail...i always figure so long as the jacket is darker then they look just about right...they are only our toy soldiers afterall!
@@danharris8805 I was replying to the original comment. Im pointing out there is no one "exact" shade of Union dark blue and supporting Doms comment.
@@danharris8805 my view exactly
The Yankees are nice miniatures but the uniform jackets were so blue they were almost black.
First comment was useful, third unnecessary
They look great. 👍I am looking forward to seeing a Epic battle at the club.
Can't wait!
As I stare at my Hannibal box, I can see the wisdom of these smaller force boxes! Looking forward to seeing you get your forces painted up and on the table.
thats a certain advantage for sure - a more manageable box
Great to see. :)
Thank you! Cheers!
If you’re going to unbox it… unbox it.
yeah i did
Excellent armies and terrain. The use of all the light infantry really adds to the game dynamics. Another top game mate.
Thank you 👍
It is a superb set. I hope down the line Warlord produce German Tribes and maybe some Imperial Romans to add to this scale and further extend it
that would be great
An excellent unboxing Dom
Thank you kindly
Thanks for sharing Brother 👍
Thanks for watching
Yes, that seems a bit more my pace!
yes more manageable
Nice unboxing. It's always four sprues per Box as it seems. 🤔
Yes, true
Really cool. 👍
Thanks! 👍
The shields look really good. With epics you have to try not to invest too much work that no one will see later. Found the ACW to be the easiest so far as they had less detail. Good painting!
completely agree
A good honest apprach to painting. Looks good with that mass effect and definetly shows that art of the possible for standard wargamer.
mass effect is the order of the day with these epics
Always loved the french command squad guys with halberds and dual pistols.
yes very cool
Very nice work. 👍
Thanks 👍
Great the paintwork looks brilliant great job overall 🤠🤠🤠👍👍👍
Thank you so much 😀
thanks guys, good fun...
Glad you enjoyed it
nice one!
thanks
Thank you , Dom . 🐺Loupis Canis .
Thank you too!
Good to see you on catchup this week. Seeing all sorts of sports on French TV, it seems to have been completely cocked up in the UK.
not sure what you mean tbh
Really nice work. I've painted 6 bases of these, and decided against doing the shade step after early trials - the speed paints I'm using are doing a good enough job on these tiny troops and it's saving me a couple of minutes - that'll add up to a day or two by the time I've finished the whole Hannibal box!
cheers mate - yes speed is everything with these fellas
They look superb dom
cheers buddy
You should come Holiday next July in Lancaster, Pennsylvania to attend HISTORICON. My good friends and gaming group are all retired military, so we are all over the world (I am in South Korea) or the US, so it is a good time to spend 4 or 5 days gaming and getting in mischief.
it's definitely on the list....
Well don't sit on that list too long. You are around my age (53) and the years aren't any kinder to us.
