Thank you for a very interesting and informative video. May I also compliment you on your delivery. It’s so refreshing to listen to property spoken English without any of the “vis and vat” or “fink and fought”😁 I am rebuilding my own Napoleonic collection having foolishly (and it turns out unnecessarily)sold it as the result of a downsizing house move on retirement. I will be following your progress with interest. Meanwhile I’ll be taking a look at your earlier videos and have subscribed.

A really enjoyable video, I have just subscribed 😀

Thank you that was enjoyable, I have subscribed.

Another call out is the 'chosen men' rulebook, which is based around 30-50 models in a more skirmish format. It may not be perfect, but it's a nice entry to Napoleonics. Plus you can play as Major Sharpe!!

Having visited the reenactement of the Battle of Leipzig recently, I was inspired to start another Napoleonic Army so I started with some Austrians. Prussians are also on the to-do list so I will be following this series with great enthousiam!.

Having retired last year and having tried GDA2 I decided to return to Napoleonic gaming after an absence of nearly 40 years 😳. I tend to work in 15mm due to space constraints and so far have completed an Austrian army and intend to paint 4 more armies for the 5 main protagonists. My choice of figures has to be dictated by my reduced budget and I use a mix of manufacturers. I must mention the Fizzer Johnson range , similar to AB and breathtaking detail ,the campaign figures are a real pleasure to paint. Mainly French and British and recent addition of Austrian grenadiers. Unit packs of 24 figures for £13.20 and a good discount for larger orders. AB are currently .85p per single figure so I only buy special units from them. Love the video and look forward to more.

Great Video, thank you. The best figures have to be the AB Figure range. They are 18mm, what Grande Armee 2 is best played at, and with almost all the nations and periods covered. You should treat yourself ;)

Your audio was very good. I always tend to start a new army with the approach of an initial supported brigade. Say 5 infantry battalions, a couple of cavalry squadrons a gun and command. It always goes larger but it's a good small start to get my foot in the door of a new campaign/period. I enjoyed your video and am now a subscriber. Thanks for posting.

great video! I need to dig out my napoleonic french!

The champion is one of my favourite dwarfs of all time. The eyepatch and peg leg are just great.

legend returned!

Amazing collection. I’ll look forward to seeing them completed. The Dwarf lord at 3 minutes or so in is the best sculpt ever.

ToW ran out of steam because it's so bad. 6th ed for life

What did you paint the hair with mate

Fantastic work

Great channel, subbed you fella.

Thanks for sharing, pal. Cheers!

Green and gold is such a great combo

Buy ready made laser cut mdf movement trays. Not expensive and a lot less hassle😊

An absolute legend. Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤❤

You said Michael Perry moved on to using green-dyed towelling instead. What do you think of that technique?

Back during 7th edition i used to cmpletly ignore the grid and just messured how much space i need including the bit of space you get from the rim. today i would probably just use plastic card or a thin metal sheet with magnets under the bases. But i don't know if i want to go back into the old world yet...

the inside gaps caused by the side/straight pieces causing the models to not fit in flush was a design flaw IMO but apparently...it was so you could add grass/stones that cover the entire pieces that then blend into the models bases, so use the texture paint on the inner side/2mm of excess on each piece and the models will fit in flush on it

Got a pop shied for your mic.

Please post videos of you painting the others when you have the time!

This was awesome and super helpful. I bought some random stuff from them recently too.

Great vid. Haven’t done strips for years. Must have a go at some point

Very nice mate 👍👍

£25 ? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I use sprues

Realistic and lovely buildings, no doubt!👍👍

Great looking building

Classic chunky metal citadel and marauder dwarfs are great. Dwarfs are really difficult to do in plastic.

Huge thanks for the mention, and particularly For listing our Just Giving page. Next stop for Duncan's Band of Brothers is the UK Games Expo in Birmingham.

Insightful. Glad KZbin recommended your video. It was nice to see the Old World hype online, though in my area (metropolitan) I see a lot of OW boxes on shelves in various stores at present. There's certainly a disconnect with the online perception for Old World, what with boxes selling out in minutes, generating hype as a result on social media, and then the contrast to present state of boxes "littering" shelves (good point on your shelf space bit). For the record I live in one of the most populous cities in North America. That said, I hope the community grows given time and GW won't abandon it so readily.

try ASOIAF, KOW or OPR

This is such an important video for people writing rulebooks. These things drive me crazy, how bad they rulebooks are during play.

Excellent review of the show. I really enjoyed that 👍

Thanks for sharing.

The more I hear about Salute, the more I wish I had gone! I'm hoping to catch next years.

This is a copy of a technique from a KZbin video, which is a copy of another KZbin video 👌🏻

I may just break down and buy sceneic sealant. I tried a few times making my own, and it always ends up with white patches that look like sweat salt, or some other unwanted bodily secretion.

Great video, that looks awesome. I love the depth it gives the grassy areas. Thanks.

This is literally the video I have been looking for. I am starting to make 2foot 6inch by 2 foot 6 inch mini boards for games like frostgrave and silver bayonet. Would you have any suggestions on making a simple water board (maybe without resin). I’m hoping to make generic simple boards for different scenarios. Thank you for the video! It was very informative and helpful.

$40 here in the USA and I can honestly tell you its a rip off and not worth it. Just go get plasticard or balsa wood which is $35 cheaper.

Here hoping the KZbin money can help you with the devastating loss of buying this product.

I have lots of minies and scenery, but you didn't like my comment about sounding like Enoch Powell, so you sir get nothing!

Cool ⚒

Spectacular result - I've never heard of hanging basket liners before, gonna see what that is :)

Before starting this hobby, it is a good idea to watch hours of DIY videos of this and that. That could save you A LOT of money.
