    Thanks and really like the idea of adding Kalistra to the front rank of a base. Definitely helps break up the monotony of the 1x10 strips.

    Great to see how to match up with other ranges, the Kallistra command sure knocks it up a notch!

    Thanks for posting this video . Shows what can be achieved with the Warlords plastics , and how they can work with existing figure ranges .

    Excellent work! I like how the Confederates and Federals turned out. They look really good standing shoulder to shoulder. Thanks for posting the paints in the description box. The guide on cutting down the hats to make kepis is really helpful, too.

      Thankyou, some projects work so well with contrast, others I struggle. These I enjoyed.
      My key learning point this time, was not being afraid of using Agrax to darken where 2 colours join, or to hide mistakes.

      I thought i had, i have 2 massive 10mm armies, but i love the look of these, ranked up.
      If i was a betting man, i would put money ECW. Its a John Stallard Favourite (he wrote the warhammer historical book), and again 1 sprue can do both sides.

    I really like the mods you did! I plan on making them 3 stands as well. With any of the starter sets you can really get some units on the board. With the modifications you did you could even get some flag bearers on some of the smaller size units but treat them as regular sized. Even keep a few 5 base units as regiments at full strength and count as huge. Do the rule sets that come with the boxed sets talk about range modifications for the smaller scale? Again, great video!

    • @Unclecthulu
      @Unclecthulu  3 роки тому +1

      I believe the rules will talk about reduction in scale. BP1 rulebook covered this In it's appendices. I did a video about this as well. With 28mm, and playing on a 6x4 we reduced scales by 1/4. Movement bounds being 8 inches for example.
