- 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! :)
That's very kind thank you 👍 there will definitely be battle reports, i already have a couple planned in my head. Hopefully those will take place in a few weeks time 🙂
Love to see a painting tutorial please, your results are awesome!
Thank you 😁👍 I'll definitely look at some once the games are underway
YES! I'm so glad to see you adopting the epic scale.
For this period, definitely 👍
I love your painting tutorials. Really inspired me, and helped me get miniatures table ready.
That's very kind, thank you 👍
@@7thson726 can you continue making the painting tutorials? They are extremely helpful. Cheers!
@@lefoxmethodstudiouk I'll certainly try 🙂
Awesome! Looking great. Can’t wait to get hands on this too!
Thanks, they are very addictive once you start painting them 👍
Cannot wait to see a battle report of this game! Really impressed with how quickly you’ve got this all painted up to such a great standard!
Really appreciate it, thank you 👍
LOVELY stuff Martin. Looking forward to more content on this, and like others have said would be keen to see a quick whistle-stop "how I painted these" as those Romans look great. The reds in particular on the shields. Nice one mate!
Cheers buddy, there was some frantic stippling involved haha. I'll certainly look at doing a "how I did it" once we have the games going 👍
Great result. Thks for the video ;)
No problem 😁👍
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.
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 👍
Great job on those mate, your speed is going to put me to shame, and they look just as good. Looking forward to the next one.
Really appreciate it mate thank you. I'm using the excuse that shadows are hiding alot of the details 😅 Carthaginian one should be up soon
Great review, martin, i really like the colours you used, especially the elephants. I can't wait to get my hands on these
Thanks mate, they are fun. I have a bunch more elephants to do so these ones will have company 😁
Very excited about the new Epic Hail Caesar. Can't wait to see those upcoming videos! Thank you for doing this!
You're very welcome, got the next video coming in a week or so looking at the Carthaginians, then, onto the games 😁
Some splendid units here, congrats!
Cheers mate 👍
Nice one Martin another great job. Looking forward to the next stage. Many Thanks Mate👍
Cheers buddy, shouldn't be too long, there's a fair bit on those sprues 👍
Красиво. Интересно сделаны модели. В хорошем окрасе смотрится супер.
Thanks very much 👍
I was planning to resist this, but now I’m tempted ….. excellent paint job Martin
Nice one, it's a nice set, glad you like them 👍
Interesting stuff Martin. Got my hands on the Roman, Carthaginian, Allies and Elephants sprues yesterday.
Excellent, can't wait to see what you do with them 👍
Great presentation. Love the paintjobs. The cavalry looks indeed much improved compared to earlier epic releases. You are not helping me with my initial decision to sit this out 😂
Haha sorry bud 😅
Nice vidéo, happy to see you will cover this. Very excited and I think I will order the Hannibal box. Please do some painting vidéo! Will be helpfull to paint all that moutain of plastic 😂
Thanks very much 👍 I'll certainly look at painting videos after the battles are done, right now, we muster the armies 😁
excellent job and well explained! :) Looking forward to the first batreps.
Thanks so much, looking forward to having the games as well 👍
very good video , I am looking forward to some painting guide s , great work keep them coming
Thanks very much, will do 👍
I really appreciate the sprue to being painted and based review. Very nice.
Thanks very much 👍 it's a format I like to do, it sometimes means that the videos aren't as quick as they could be but I think it helps with the overview 😁
I am super excited for this set!
It's certainly alot of fun to work on 👍
Already this is excellent Martin very well explained aswell,and very impressive painting
Thanks buddy, really enjoyed working on them 👍
Very cool mate. Love these.
Cheers buddy, I'm glad you like them, they were fun to paint up 👍
Wow, great results and so tempting to buy the big Hannibal starter option. Thanks.
Thanks very much 👍 that big set is good value, it's not really a starter, more of a massive battle set, I can't really seeing you needing anything else after you get that l, which is great, with the possible exception of some of the add ones way down the line 👍
With this scale I found an interesting paint set, the brushes were designed for nail art to paint fine patterns on finger nails. I was wondering if you have ever used such brushes. the brushes seem to be designed for very fine detail.
Love the video, I have been working on the Epic Napoleonic.
I use them all the time. They last quite well, and are pretty cheap.
I haven't, but I will definitely check them out, thanks for the heads up 👍
Fabulous work and can’t wait to get my order - couple of months yet so concentrating on scenery for the diaorama I am building 👍 Well done
Brilliant, what's the diorama?
@@7thson726 Hi there, it’s going to be the Carthaginian army marching over the alps onto the battlefield including a Roman marching camp and a Gallic village. On top of this I am hoping to get part of Rome into the diaorama. To date I have built and painted the Roman Coliseum and will send you a link later showing it if you would like to see ? - really pleased with it but quite demanding to build and paint(all finished bar the gladiators which I have but not done yet - all in 15mm) Cheers, Stevie
@@stephenritchie9581 that sounds awesome, please do, my email is 7thsonwargaming@gmail.com
I'm on holiday but would love to see that 👍
Hi Martin sent you a CZcams vid to ur email showing the coliseum minus the gladiators still to do. If you want to check my other finished diaoramas which includes the crusades,ACW,Napoleonics, LOTR,Vietnam war WWII all in 15mm 👍
Wow! Well done, we are looking at starting Hail Caesar and this is a perfect start with the new starter sets coming out!
Awesome, would be great to see you guys tackle HC 👍
@@7thson726 thank you… we have just ordered the books and looking at a few trial games, 15mm Romans vs Gauls to start with before we consider the epic starter set 👍🏻
Can’t wait
Awesome work! (As usual!) ❤
Thanks so much ,😁
Beautiful paint work. And very nice figures. I have a job painting 28mm so no chance of painting these lol😊
Haha thanks dude 👍
You make the getting things together and painted look so simple. Thanks. Warlord will Ove you for this. Can't wait for the battle reports.
Really pleased to hear you enjoyed it 😁
Nice looking units. Can’t wait to see the Carthaginians. I hope you are still going to continue the 28mm Caesarians. I was really enjoying that project. Thanks for doing these videos.
I definitely am, don't worry 😁 in fact I'm just finishing off the last of 3 new units. There will be an update and then a new battle 👍
Ok, you’ve convinced me, I’ll pick these up
Haha good man 😅
Excited for the battle reports! You should try To the Strongest! with these figures, much fewer bases are required compared to Hail Caesar.
It's definitely on the list, it's been a while since I played TTS but this looks like a great way to jump back in 👍
Ah, this looks like a lot of fun. There is something to be said for the scale, gives an army a sense of mass.
I appreciated your old Ancients October series; your old 28mm Victrix Carthaginian army looked great, and the snow was ambitious.
I think that the key, the impression that it's a massive of men. Thanks for the kind words on the old project, it was a toss up here if I was going to do the same 😁
I love your color scheme for the Romans. I ordered the Hannibal box as soon as it went live, I cannot wait.
Thanks buddy, I'm really pleased with them, they are great to work on 👍
Very cool! I was wondering if you would be covering this set. I'd love to see some historical battles, which I assume will be included in the rules. I really hope this setting does well and Warlord expands it.
Absolutely, I think I would build up to one of the bigger battles, maybe a couple of smaller ones to set the scene then go for the large grand spectacle 😁
You’ve done a cracking job on those mate fair play
Cheers buddy 👍😁
Amazing, would love some painting tutorials!
I'll certainly be looking at them once the battle reports are out 😁
Fantastic work on those Martin, all the best with your project.
I will soldier on with my 28mmm Caesarians heretic! Lol😅
Cheers
Matt

Haha don't worry, the Caesarians aren't going anywhere, I have a new update ready to film on them and a new battle report 😁👍
Great video mate they turned out really nice
Thank you 👍
Looking forward to when you do a battle report for this. :)
Me to 😁👍
That is cracking painting!
Thanks very much 👍😁
Brilliant work! I'm in too deep with a 20mm Punic wars project but I am very interested in the Punic war Hail Caesar book.
20mm is something I do want to explore at some point 👍
@@7thson726 I've always loved painting 20s not too big not too small. Looking forwards to seeing some reports with these Epic scale figures 👍
Fantastic 👍🏼
Thank you! Cheers 😁
Looking forward to some epic battles!
Oh, their coming 😁👍
What paints colors did you use for the Romans?
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
@@7thson726 thank you.
@@7thson726 I can’t wait when they add Greeks and eventually Julius Caesar and he’s legions.
I'm new to Hail Caesar, but this ist my favorite Periode in History. I will definitely follow this Projects. Great Work!
Thanks very much. If your looking for more of an idea how Hail Caesar plays then check out my intro battle report in the Gallic Wars playlist 😁👍
@@7thson726 this playlist brought me into Haeil Caesar. Great Introduction and many Tips. 😍
Bloody hell you knocked them out quickly!
😁😉 bit here, bit there, soon gets them done 👍
Nice video thank you
No problem, glad you enjoyed it 👍
Very impressive indeed. They look great. As a slow painter, will be interesting to see how quickly i can paint these.
Cheers buddy. The Romans don't take much time at all 👍
Looking great. I like you used different shield colours to make the different infantry types stand out. Be great to see them expand the epic ancient range, epic scale chariots, Celts, Greeks etc, we'll see.
That would be fantastic 👍 hopefully it does well and they could look at something like that.
@7thson726 On a side note be good to see you continue with the Battle Of Maldon project/plan too.
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.
Thanks for watching 😁 Totally get that, I can see where you're coming from 👍
Looking very nice can’t wait for a battle report
Cheers buddy 👍
I’ve been trying to save money and hold out on new minis, but YOUR paint job makes me want to buy the Roman set 😂😢
😁 I'm pleased you like them
Awesomus Canis Fantastesticules!! Top banana!
Thank you 😁
Yay battle reports!
For definite, as soon as I have enough done 👍 I'm thinking at least 3 divisions a side, shouldn't take too long.
Look really amazing. Got enough to finish 😅😅
Haha always room for more mate 😅
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.
The hold up in the crusades was due to me dragging my feet on some scenery. It's now done.
@@rovens great! The previous battles include beautiful scenery. I will be waiting for new videos 🙌
Thanks for reply
It's pretty straightforward to paint, and the details are nice and crisp, to be honest it's no more monotonous than painting French in greatcoats or redcoats at 28mm.
Really pleased you like the first crusade games, I love our campaign and there is a new game on the way, now we have our river 😁👍
They have elephants? Who knew that? Cracking job mate
😅😅 I didn't know, did you know? I wish you would have said 😁 cheers dude
@@7thson726 my bad ;)
Ok fine i ordered it
😅 excellent
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.
Thanks very much, really appreciate it. The "Oreo" is about 5cm wide and about 1.2 deep. I'm not to sure on the elephants but will certainly look into it 👍
Nice job on the painting epic is great for people starting out and with limited space more power to anyone who is into them but for me they all look the same acw , ecw , naps , punic all infantry look very much of the same thing to me still each to there own
Thanks, they were fun to do 👍 certainly see what you mean, I guess as you say, all down to personal taste
Great to see your covering this, so questions, questions - Are you going to look at running a campaign of any sort, and could the range be used for the first punic or third punic war as well?
So eventually that would be a possibility. I don't see why not, you may have to accept a few inaccuracies but on the whole I think it would be okay
Great work, grettings from Omaha Wargames.
Thanks very much, welcome aboard 👍
Looks awesome! I’m so tempted to get into this but I still haven’t finished my epic pike and shotte. Looking forward to more of this content from you, thanks for the vid. Just curious, but how long does it take you to finish a whole sprue?
Cheers, as I haven't done anything on the other Epic lines I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out. I painted the sprue over a couple of days, but I can do a stand of the Romans in about an 45-60 mins (so the three stips) 👍
I must admit I love the paintwork you have done and the elephant looks brilliant but be careful last time dom mentioned about elephant he got shutdown 😅😅
Haha true,😅 glad you like them
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,
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 😁
Great video mate. So you getting that mega big box or what for this? 👍
Quite possibly 👍
Are you tempted by any other epic releases?
They are the perfect gateway into a new period, in my opinion
I agree that they are a good gateway but currently I'm not really tempted. I already have massive ECW and Napoleonic collections in 28mm. If I did one it would probably be the ACW though 👍
@@7thson726 the epic ACW looks incredible on the table. I have the napoleonic and civil war epic ranges and ACW looks the best I think
I would love a paint video please
Will certainly look at one once the battles are out 😁
Looking good, did you paint as a block, or separate rows?
Ignore that you just covered that :)
😅 I do them separately 👍
As Caesar wrote "...sinistra manu impedita neque satis commoda pugnare poterant..." They are packed together like sardines. It looks ridiculous.
To be honest, it doesn't bother me, I don't find it any less ridiculous than pike blocks being represented by 36 men, or Napoleonic battalions by 24 models so spaced out they may as well be skirmishers. Ultimately, we all accept compromises when we game, as at the end of the day, it's just a representation 👍
Random question, where did you get that cutting mat from?
I think it was from Amazon 👍
what do you use to base them?
Hi there, I mainly use AK Interactive diorama pastes, I pretty much did the same as for my Crusades project in this video czcams.com/video/uCYNdozcWkg/video.htmlsi=58pGrwv5bS4NbArS
Sorry but I have to say this, you need to make elephants stand out!
Stand out! It's 3 times the size of the units, you can't miss it 😅 🐘 I have 6 more to do so I will be adding some decorations and warpaint etc on those, I may even go back and add some to these if it works 👍
@@7thson726 Just in case they don't stand out enough🤣
