Hail Caesar Army Building

[@bendavison8981]

Brilliant sir, up to now you are the only one who seems to be able to explain it in a way I can understand. I've made a start on my Gallic army circa 300BC with a 48 pack of Victrix light infantry Celtic warriors, which I'm going to split into two units of 24 adding some random minis from other sets to get those numbers up (extra lads in chariot set, box of 8 female Celts from Warlord etc). I'll probably add a chariot unit with a warlord as a driver and then a Victrix heavy infantry unit to pad out division. Then just grabbing a set of gripping beast dark age archers and switching out Victrix Celt heads. Then the Warlord Gallic starter set is effectively a division equalling 3 x 32 man light infantry units and 12 man cavalry unit.

Will you be covering any Blot Action in the future. A great break down on how to make a army thanks Scott

[@kapitihobbies9360]

It's certainly possible at some point! Cheers Scott

Thank you for this. I noticed you have other Hail Caesar books, I’ve only just started and just have the main rulebook and army list book, are there other books worth getting?

[@kapitihobbies9360]

Hi Glad to be of help. The other books are themed supplements with scenarios and missions to play through. Some have some extra themed period specific rules in in. Probably worth picking up if the specific era is of interest to you.

@@kapitihobbies9360 cheers, I’ll take a look.

Great video! Just wondering how do you determine how many minis (inidividual soldiers) are in a unit? Seems like it's determined based on the size of your movement tray? But are there any hard rules that indicate how many soldiers it takes to create a unit?

[@kapitihobbies9360]

For a 'standard' size unit, we work of a frontage of 8 figures with 20mm per figure. For ranks, you can go 2-3 ranks as you see fit depending on your view of what a unit should look like. Theres nothing hard and fast here its up to you. But we like 2 ranks for lights and mediums and 3 ranks for heavies. 4 ranks for warbands.

@@kapitihobbies9360 Interesting, thanks!

Very cool. Are these miniatures included in the Hail Caesar box or are they Victrix or something else? I've been having a really hard time finding Roman miniatures in NZ and ended up getting resin 3d prints out of desperation.

[@kapitihobbies9360]

They are warlord games own brand.
