Nicely done. Some of the best Epic Waterloo painting work I've seen. Have you tried paint pens for the straps? I'm testing that out right now. I've also experimentad with a white dry brush and paint the red around the straps. I like the effect. Might just stick with that.
@6uptabletopgaming5462 күн бұрын
hi, I have never tried paint pens. I have seen it talked about a lot in painting videos and comment sections so id assume it works decent. Due to the fact I used oil/enamel wash over these(so all colors have a small tint to them), I use a off white paint and I find it covers better than just white acrylics.

You have done an excellent job with the Epic Napoleonic range. Have you got these on the tabletop yet? If so, what ruleset are you using? I'm considering using 3 bases per battalion instead of 4 and running Valour & Fortitude
@6uptabletopgaming5462 күн бұрын
Got a team game of Valour & Fortitude in a few weeks. I think I will play pretty nice due to smaller table might cut the measurements in 1/2 or by 1/3

Unfortunately, the location and the attitude of the artillerists around the cannon are incorrect. This is frequently influenced by makers of tin soldiers that don’t understand what was the true artillery regulation of the time, giving inaccurate postures to their figures. No artillerist was kneeling, the rammer was never held in vertical position, etc. Regarding the location of the servants, they should stand on two lines, left and right, 20 inches away from the cannon. It is lighted from the right side, not from the left. Also, the officers’s epaulettes should be gold, not red.
@6uptabletopgaming5466 күн бұрын
Appreciate the feedback, I will need to add the Gold to the officer's epaulettes, good catch on that one. Certainly Warlord Games took some historical liberties making these scale figures playable for this epic scale! Thanks for stopping by , Cheers.

@@6uptabletopgaming546 thank you for your appreciation of my comments, these were not for the purpose of criticizing but rather help you make something more accurate. By the way, the upper rim on the shako of the officer should be painted in gold too. And in case you prepare more of these gunnery scenes, think about placing the servant with the quick match on the right side, it is the opposite side as for the British regulation. In the French regulation, the servant to the left holds the pricker to pierce the cartridge inside the barrel and then he primes the vent.

I am wondering. The French had switched to the metric system before the full on Napoleonic era. Is it correct to call these weapons by the weight of shot in pounds or does the book do that? As an interesting side note, the imperial weights and measures were not standard across the board. 1lb as a British measure, an Austrian measure and a Russian measure were all actually different weights despite the description being the same, i.e. 6lbs was the lightest as a British measurement and the heaviest as an Austrian measurement and would be different again if indeed the French used the descriptor lbs. Either way, the French 12 pounders would be formidable to stand against.
@6uptabletopgaming5469 күн бұрын
Hi, Great question, I'm going off the black powder epic rules book mention of the "Year XI system" which streamlined the Artillery system for the French. Interesting side note indeed, thanks for sharing, always glad to learn more about such an interesting time period in history. Cheers
@patrickehresmann24048 күн бұрын
Yes, it is still correct to call the French cannons by the weight of shots in pounds (actually, in French livres, that were slightly heavier than the British pounds), while the mortars and howitzers were called by the diameter of their muzzle in pouces (slightly longer than the British inches). Although the metric system was introduced during the Revolution, it took a long time for the French people to use it in every day’s life. The artillery dimension tables started to use the metric system during the first empire, but the way to call French cannons in the older system remained for a much longer time, until the mid-19th century. The first cannon to be called by its diameter in metric was the piece rayée de 4 modele 1858, système Ducos de la Hitte, its diameter measuring 4cm.

Funny I found your channel the other day looking for inspiration for emperor’s children painting and here you are again posting about using epic black powder for valour and fortitude. Another project I have on my desk right now. Are you basing the battalions on the bases they come with in the epic blackpowder box? I saw a few people split the infantry lines in half and mount on 30x20mm bases to decrease the footprint of each battalion.
@6uptabletopgaming54626 күн бұрын
Thank for the comment, and still love me some 30k! I am making each battalion to have 3 bases and using the ones in the warlord box. I cut the 3rd base in half (alongside the models of that base) so that infantry can form square as needed, and units can change formations as needed. Cheers!
