World of Warpaint thx again mate. The Union troops were a breeze. The rebels on the other hand took twice as long. If I get my mojo on I can do a Napoleonic unit in about 3 days. It's just keeping inspired that's the problem lol 😂
Once again brilliant work I did American civil war Italeri 1/72 many years ago as it was my primary interest. I've restarted painting and doing American Revolution I've ordered over 600 miniatures to paint so far. Your work really top notch 👍
@@leont66wargaming31 thank great to have subscriber of such skill 👍. Yes I've got more on the way Highland regiment French and Indians 🤪 should have a regiment up soon as possible. Keep up the great work Sir 👍
They look awesome , and all painted in 6 weeks . wow . Just ordered myself the battle in a box set . If I can get mine done in that time frame I'll be well chuffed :-)
matthew snow thx mate. The union side only took 2 weeks. They're dead easy. The confederates take a lot more work but it's totally worth it in the end. Well worth the money and effort mate.
Thx mate. It was watching your collection that inspired me on. of course I can mate, the very minute i dig myself out from under my own mountain of metal and plastic lol. Don't hold your breath lol
I've done exactly the same thing. Just getting back into military modelling. Bought loads of Napolionics ,saw the Perry acw figures and bought half a dozen boxes of figures .In hindsight I probably should have gone for the battle in the box set.
fsr170409 hi mate. It’s probably still worth getting this box set even with all the individual boxes you already have. I’m still tempted to get another one and if you get it from a 3rd party retailer you can get 20% off. Another box would give me 2 decent sized armies 🙂. There I go getting distracted again 😂😂
Fantastic! I notice you like to paint up these boxed sets - armies. Anyway, SIX WEEKS to finish off this boxed set?!? Wow! Well done, and they look spot on. Great work, Leon. ~K
I do like the box set armies. They offer good value and give a nice starting point to a collection. This Perry’s one is definitely one of the best for value. 3 of these and you’d be all set for some big battles with good size forces for both sides. Damn it I’m talking myself into getting another one lol.
@@leont66wargaming31 for some reason this was highlighted as for today 🤣 and I now can see I already commented.. I'm actually really tempted to get that warlord battle in a box set ACW Waterloo one looks tempting as well.. I just really hope they release it in AWI then I'll definitely purchase
@@leont66wargaming31 hail Caesar would be interesting.. as regards to the poses they should add troops firing and not just marching and with hail Caesar they'd need to add some very dramatic poses???
Thanks for that. I am thinking of starting ACW and getting this set, but I thought the same, go for more figures. Perry do the Brigade and division sets obviously minus the buildings etc and you are right, you get at least double the troops for approx the same money. They look like lovely figures though. Its a new scale for me....i have been working with 25mm plastic buiding two ECW armies....ACW in january provided Santa gets me the Perrys! Lol. Very informative, i will subscribe!
An Extrovert Paints! Thanks buddy. Not a tutorial as such but I run through the paints I use in this video. ua-cam.com/play/PLE3mPEqNnrT-WUFd46rgX-5NSa6Gk9Otn.html
Fantastic job and fast too! I envy your productivity. Going through your vids is a real joy. Thanks for sharing. As for Salute....I think you would be better off at Partizan! Only my personal opinion.
I've just got into the history and the battles of the ACW and cannot believe I've left it this long to get into the period. I thank Warlords for it with the announcement of their epic scale ACW sets. Now I've been discussing this with a buddy of mine and we are worried that this is once again Warlords proverbially throwing shit at the wall and hoping it sticks. Personally I think not as Black Powder looks a solid game but as we are both into Sharp Practice this Perry Box set this is where my buddy has been pushing me and I'm definitely looking at pushing the green light on this boxset as soon as i finish my British Napoleonic's. Again Id like to adapt my 28mm to do both Sharp Practice and Black Powder..... Waiting to see more info on the new Warlord Epic to gauge whether it will take off, the community definitely seems very keen on it .....i think
I do love this box set. Great value and as you say you’ll be able to use it for both sets of rules with your basing. I will get another one in the future and get this project finished. I’ve done a short review video on the epic scale stuff from Warlord. Here’s a link. ua-cam.com/video/eEDZmz_zKpg/v-deo.html
Incredible collection! Your painting skills are superlative! I'm delving into 28mm ACW and Napoleonics. As a new subscriber I'm curious as to how you paint flesh tones of faces and hands.
thanks mate, i use the vellejo panzar aces flesh triad, I show it in one of my other videos. or it's on my 'How to Paint Austrians' vid, I dont have the paints to hand just now sorry
Really great Job! I just ordered a box myself. It says there are 144 infantry models in the box but i count 168 in your army. Did you have to add models or does the box come with enough extras to make what you have shown here? Either way you have inspired me to give it at go!
Thanks buddy. Yes a friend gave me a few spare minis he didn’t want. I’m still planning on getting another box at some point. I’ll probably buy one of the smaller infantry boxes at the same time. So I can boost the unit sizes.
I want to get into this stuff but I feel like my painting skills aren’t good enough with my shaky hands. Where did you get the paint and how do you do the painting because their so small?
I’ve got a bit of shaky hand as well. I rest one hand against the other when painting and that helps a lot. Get most of my paints from gaming stores or conventions. I have a few painting tutorials on the channel that might help
Hello, first of all, I have to say a big "bravo" because I saw a lot of pictures and vidéos about acw and napoléonic miniatures and you are, in my opinion, one of the best looking painter I found :D I'm waiting at my french and russian brigade, and you définitively convince me to paint some acw after that ^^ Can you tell me how do you made the union's jacket blue please ? You started with a verry dark base and I thinks it's look verry great ! I will certainly ask you the same question for one of your french (since I will found the good vidéo ^^). Again, great job, verry nice collection and my apologies for my english if I made mistakes, I didn't wrote in the Shakespeare's language since quite a long time ^^
Hugo Demetter thank you very much. That’s very kind of you. If you look on my homepage there’s a playlist for the ACW union army On one of the videos I go through all the paints I used for them. It’s one of the painting challenge videos but I can’t remember which one. I hope that helps. If not get back to me. I need to make a playlist for all the paints I use lol Your English is great. Thanks again buddy 🙂
10mm Leon give it a go saying that I might dabble in 3mm BAOR for the cold war . You do some very nice brush work marra always nice to see what's up next . Regards Gav .
Cheers Gav, I,ll have to have a look see at 10mm, but still not sure what period to do, maybe ancients? but must get a bit more of the mountain cleared first lol.
What is your varnishing method/What products do you use Leon? Minis look fantastic, working on some Confederates from Perry right now but keep loosing all my highlight work to my varnish..
Hi Jake, to be honest because they're plastic I don't varnish them, on metals i tend to use the GW stuff and just dust it over in a couple of very light coats then a final dusting of the army painter matt varnish. but I never varnish my plastic models. I can't see the point as plastic doesn't tend to chip. hope that helps mate.
Devil Dog Productions thx mate. Yeah they're all Perry Plastics. 28mm. The set cost me £80 I think. It's a real bargain for what you get. The Union troops are a breeze to paint.
Could you make all the figures in the box one side I.e either union or confederates? Or are there not enough head/arm etc options to make it all one side.
Ive just bought a Samurai army and am not familiar with multi basing, any advice would be much appreciated. Ive always modeled fantasy army’s and they are mostly single based. Just love this vid though going to link it to the Hobby Homies podcast on gaming in Australia. it to . We are all praying for you guys here and hope you are well.
It’ll depend a lot on what rules system you’re going to use. However if you go 4 men to a base in a 40x40 base you can’t go far wrong. Another good alternative is 6 men on a 60x40 base. Again all depends on what rules you’re using and how you want the army to look.
Great job, very nicely done. I am disappointed in the miniatures in the box. There is a rather big difference in scale for the union troops vs. the rebels. Put a rebel next to a union figure. Union figs look more like 25mm. That's the reason I did not buy the set.
Rene Christensen lol. I’ve only played one game with them. When I get the next batch painted I’ll try and get some more games in. This box is such great value
I know this vid was 4 years ago but it’s one of my favourites but I have some questions, did you end up expanding these army’s and do you still have them
CHARLIE COMPANY WARGAMING yes mate. But my rules are quite flexible so you can use any base size as long as you stick to the stats for each base. I’ll be doing a bat rep with these ACW soon with a few special rules for the time period
@@leont66wargaming31 Thanks a lot! I am going to do the same box for the german rules of "Kugelhagel", with some minor changes as recce guys. Two last questions: which bases did you used for the commanders and are the flags right out of the box or third party? Thank you!
Stefan Wissel you’re welcome buddy. Nice sounds good. The flags are just the ones from the box but I usually buy my flags fro “flags of war”. I think the command bases are 60mm, I’m not at home now till 2mo so I can’t measure them.
A last one, I did not get it because my english is not the best, what boxes do you suggest to have everything twice. Obviously not just to buy a second box 😁
These are very lovely and my husband and I have decided to place an order for this amazing set, but I have to ask (without being rude) why are there no black soldiers painted in your set: it is my understanding that this would be far more realistic to do?
Hi there, it's a great set you'll love it. i don't have any black soldiers as yet as they formed independent regiments and there were no mixed units. Perry's make some very nice minis for these guys I just haven't got round to expanding the armies yet
Yes I split them. I was planning on finishing off both regiments when I got another battle in a box set. However I’m thinking of selling them now as I have the Warlord Epic ones and I don’t think I can warrant having ACW in 2 scales
@@leont66wargaming31 hahA ik what you mean, i have 28 mm and 13 mm french and british and 28& 13 mm union and rebs and jump between poainting them all and cant settle on one scale
Leon T66 wargaming I ended up ordering the Confederate infantry box with 44 figures. If I like painting them I’ll take the plunge and buy this. Only thing I don’t like is “basing” and it looks like I’ll need to do that with these figures to make them look nice like yours.
Hi mate, I don't have any ACW troops left to do a tutorial; but if you watch 2 of my other vids titled 'ACW painting challenge' and Perry's battle in a box confederates finished' i run through all the paints i used there if that helps

Great work Leon, well done 👍

These are very lovely and my husband and I have decided to place an order for this amazing set, but I have to ask (without being rude) why are there no black soldiers painted in your set: it is my understanding that this would be far more realistic to do?
Hi there, it's a great set you'll love it. i don't have any black soldiers as yet as they formed independent regiments and there were no mixed units. Perry's make some very nice minis for these guys I just haven't got round to expanding the armies yet
I wonder why the zouaves arent a full unit size in the box, throws off my ocd 😅
Or did you split them in half rebs and half union zouaves?
Yes I split them. I was planning on finishing off both regiments when I got another battle in a box set. However I’m thinking of selling them now as I have the Warlord Epic ones and I don’t think I can warrant having ACW in 2 scales
sadly perrys website said this box is not sold outside of the uk, wondering why
That is a shame. I know they’ve been having trouble with international posting so that might be the reason?
@@leont66wargaming31 hahA ik what you mean, i have 28 mm and 13 mm french and british and 28& 13 mm union and rebs and jump between poainting them all and cant settle on one scale
Did you ever buy another box?
Hi Jay. No not yet lol. It’s still on my list though.
Leon T66 wargaming 😂🤣 Maybe I’ll share some of mine with you, as your video is really inspiring me into buying a box.
Haha. Yes, might get me motivated to finally buy the 2nd box
Leon T66 wargaming I ended up ordering the Confederate infantry box with 44 figures. If I like painting them I’ll take the plunge and buy this. Only thing I don’t like is “basing” and it looks like I’ll need to do that with these figures to make them look nice like yours.
Nice. That’s a good plan. Try them out first and see how you get on. The Rebs do take a bit longer to paint than the Union troops.
Supurb
Thanks Martin
You are going to need a bigger table
Lol. Yes definitely
tutorials???
Hi mate, I don't have any ACW troops left to do a tutorial; but if you watch 2 of my other vids titled 'ACW painting challenge' and Perry's battle in a box confederates finished' i run through all the paints i used there if that helps
