Warlord Games Black Powder - Epic Battles - French Infantry Great Coats Painting Tutorial

[@bickercity6392]

Thanks for doing these video tutorials, Ken. You and Stuart are helping a lot of people who would like to get into Napoleonic gaming, but might be a bit overwhelmed at the prospect. As soon as my French arrive I plan to put your instruction to good use! Also, add me to the list of those who would like a basing video.

Wicked glad me and stu can be of help and will add you to the list lol 😆 It will be out soon

Nice job Ken between you and Stuart I'll have a pair of channels for info never mind xmas roll on January

Nicely done very effective use of the contrast paints, I think they come into their own for these figures.

[@haroldhardrada7449]

Great video. It would have been nice if you mentioned the other paint colors you used on the greatcoats.

[@MiniatureRealms]

Great video Ken, really nicely put together and easy to follow. I’m really looking forward to painting some French myself.

@@3dWargamer haha nice try mate but still resisting for now 😂😂

[@oldschoolfrp2326]

Mon Dieu, they do look nice all painted up. Skeleton Horde is how I base painted my AWI in linen hunting shirts. It’s rumored that WI will include an infantry sprue in a few months so I may need to come back to this and take notes on the whole sequence.

Cheers Ken - Perhaps I missed it, what did you use to prime your models?

Grey sear from gamesworkshop

Great video, thank you Ken. :o) Now to wait until January!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o( LOL

[@3dWargamer]

[@leonleese4919]

They do look good, I’m very tempted as I have no 1812-15 French or Brits.

[@3dWargamer]

Wicked give it a go

[@roguetrooper5401]

[@wargameshobby]

Great job Ken, they look brilliant and some really nice tips on what paint to use there.

[@3dWargamer]

Thanks very much look out for more tips in the future

[@aledroberts6580]

Great video and I will use it on my 28mm French while waiting for my epic scale French army to arrive in the New Year :). Be great if you do have time to do one on basing the epic stands and looking forward to the next video on painting the figures in campaign dress :)

[@3dWargamer]

I shall be doing both videos

[@pbeccas]

Good work Ken.

[@3dWargamer]

Cheers mate

[@mattcappelli5822]

Very nicely done. Looks great and not overly complicated. I absolutely would like to see how you based them. I’ve yet to paint something this scale so looking for as many techniques as I can before I get my order.

[@3dWargamer]

No worrys ill be doing video on it for sure

[@mattcappelli5822]

@@3dWargamer looking forward to it! Thanks

[@NSYresearch]

Well done Ken...Great video mate....it's helped a lot. Its helped me decide I will NOT be painting French ...ever lol

[@3dWargamer]

Hahaha glad I could be of assistance

[@norm977]

Thank you.

[@basicminiaturepainting]

Excellent tutorial mate,really nice work

[@3dWargamer]

Cheers buddy

[@russellguyver7746]

Nice paint job. Do you paint with the naked eye or a magnifier? Amazing if its the former.

[@3dWargamer]

With my naked eye tha ks for the compliment

[@johnclarke25]

Great painting guide,still not sure to go the whole way into the epic napolionics but do like the figures,was wondering whether in this scale they would pass as Mexicans with various figures from the acw dismounted cavalry and skirmishers to make the alamo in this scale might not be to accurate but I can always say I based it on the John Wayne film.

[@johnrohde5510]

It's not that likely that in 1815, many of Napoleon's infantry would have lost their own and found greatcoats from the enemy. There wasn't that much time from the first clashes at the frontier to Waterloo.

[@hexesandsoldiers6032]

Basing vid please sir

[@3dWargamer]

It will be coming soon

[@lazylimey]

Why did you not straighten the one bent bayonet? - irritating 😀
