The more I look at your painting and the use of 28mm miniatures I may well settle on 28mm and build regiments from a specific brigade. Particularly Sharps Practice rules. (And my eye sight isn’t quite as good as it used to be☹️). I have a 6’’x 4’ tablespoons, which most sensible rule writers later for when adding a scenario to their rules . I just have the feeling that most gamers usually want to play the headline battles such as Gettysburg or Waterloo. Instead of 6’x 4’ A 6’x 9’ is more practical because the space used by the figures. ie the bases you show for infantry is over 40mm wide compared to a 15mm two figure base is 30mm plus about 4mm for the tray, at a guess. That is if you use 28mm figures for bigger games?
@KingMATTtheSuperiorАй бұрын
When it comes to 28mm larger force games I think it’s hard to do on a 6x4. I’ve played a few sharp practice games and that’s worked fine on a 6x4 but anything like black powder or picketts charge I feel you need a larger table. From what I’ve seen of Black Powder being played on a 6x4 there seems like there is no room for manoeuvre and it’s more about bumping up the board and rolling dice. I do have limited experience of playing larger games so it is really hard for me to say but personal opinion I would probably choose a 8x6 board when playing with my 28mm black powder armies

I've noticed a huge lack of 3D printable files for ACW wargaming online so I'm trying to model some to put in places like Thingiverse and Cults3D. Are these size models in "heroic scale"? Anything from a painting aspect that would be helpful to work into a model? (IE straps need to be wider, bayonets need to be thicker, stuff like that)?
@drunkenirishmstr2 ай бұрын
From what I’ve noticed that some have Perry miniature scale while others use heroic. I think if you use any 28mm size, you will get variants in height weight and body shape which in my opinion for display reasons would be neat. As for the accouterments that will definitely be noticeable as well as the differences in the weapons sizes

So Perry miniatures tend to be “true scale” but I’ve noticed the rifles tend to be abit chunky which i think is a good thing. Some 3d sculpts I’ve bought that are also true scale do have thinner rifles which seems to be harder to paint/ show details. Hope that helps?

@KingMATTtheSuperior2 ай бұрын
Epic ACW range is useful and it’s something I would of looked at if I hadn’t already built my current collection. The only thing is I wouldn’t use them for black powder and I would try cut the strips up into groups of 5 men rather than the full 10, I could then base them on Squares rather than rectangles.
@Forcade232 ай бұрын
Maybe that clearly depends on the purpose: If you are looking simply for something to game with they are certainly great - despite any deficiency in terms of overall "correctness". But if you really like painting minis that might not be a great choice. Matt just talked about the limitations of building hundreds of identical Perry plastic minis and that`s really true to some degree. Having built and painted the 5 poses from the confederate box alone some 250 times that starts becoming somehow boring ;-) On the other hand you will face the very same situation quite soon when painting dozens and dozens of Epic stripes. And if you want to give your unit more realistic ACW appearance you really need to start cutting the stripes (e.g. for closers or a nice color guard). Furthermore I think there`s only Kallistra as a nice option for variety, while with 28mm you have lot more suppliers that can add to your units.
