Nice work as always really like the acw idea and always look forward to a good mumble and ramble so keep doing what you do happy new year to you

[@legrambo]

Thank you very much for that :) Happy New Year to you too. Cheers Lee

Just found your channel! Love the way you are using the epic minis for Fire and Fury. The look great!

[@legrambo]

Thank you very much for the comment :) I hope you will enjoy watching the Fire & Fury project develop here, I'm going to start with 50 stands per side and then plan to double that up. The bases are 20mm frontage by 15mm deep for the 6 figures and I think/hope that they will have good mass effect for the rules. Cheers, Lee.

looks amazing ,good job👍👍

Those ACW look great. Simple but effective, particularly ‘en masse’. I use Adler ACW (supposedly 6mm, but really, more like 8mm) miniatures and put 8 figures on 30mm by 20mm sized bases.

Thank you :) I'm enjoying playing around with the Epic ACW's for this project and at 100 figures on a sprue for just £7.00 it would make an excellent way for a new gamer to get into the period. Adlers are great little figures too. Cheers, Lee.

What models are these belgians? Looks great! Can't seem to find the files/prints anywhere :)

[@legrambo]

Hi. The link is below for you, eBay store. These were purchased ready printed not as files so not sure of file origin. Perfect match for the 13.5mm Epics in both height and body shape and nice robust bayonets. Hope this helps :) Cheers, Lee www.ebay.co.uk/str/hopliteminiatures

lovely work! i like the 3d prints

[@legrambo]

The 3D prints are some of the best 'Epic' scale I have seen. Cheers Lee.

Very interesting on the Epic. I like the 3D prints, but some higher relief would be more welcome from a painting point of view. For the back packs, would a swipe of dry brush across the backs to catch the straps, followed up by a black tidy up down the side if each strap work? or is the relief just too shallow? The ACW are looking grand, your painting speed on them is brilliant.

[@legrambo]

Hello Norm and many thanks for following along here :) The 3D prints are excellent, a perfect match scale wise for Epic in terms of both height and anatomy. They also seem quite sturdy in the bayonets, not a single broken one in the 7 packs of 80 figures. I WILL paint in those straps! It's finding the correct brush point and correct consistency of white paint that will flow nicely, that's all!! The Epic ACW's are great if you want to use shorter strips as they will break without any damage to the arms that can't be easily tidied up and to be honest just the primer will fill in and repair. All the best and a Happy New Year, Lee.

Excellent update and ramble

[@legrambo]

Thank you very much :) Cheers Lee

Isn’t Epic miniatures so cheap that it is not worth printing them yourself or how much do you really save on printing it?

[@legrambo]

Unfortunately Warlord do not produce Dutch/Belgian Napoleonics in 'Epic' scale! They formed a major part of Wellingtons Allies at Waterloo. Thus the 3D prints, my customer supplies them and I just paint them for him :) 3D prints fill in some of the gaps in the ranges. Cheers, Lee.
