Hail Caesar Army Building

- In this video I demonstrate how to build an army for Hail Caesar, with the Imperial Roman list.
The demonstrated Army features a mix of Core Roman Legionaries and Auxiliary Troops from their Barbarian Allies of the period.
In quick summary, an Army is made up of Divisions, and Divisions typically contain a minimum of 4 units, excluding skirmisher units.
I have depicted the Army as two Divisions in this case, but an army can be as large as you wish to make it, adding more Divisions as you wish, according to the Army build parameters of the force you are making.
All units in the game have a points value and the Army will have a final total value as the sum total of these unit costs. The final cost will typically be the agreed amount to make an army to, between you and your opponent.
Eg, you may say to your opponent, lets have a game, with 300pts per side, and you will each make a legal force up to that total points value.
The army list books are by Warlord Games and can be purchased from your FLGS or Warlord Games directly.
I hope this video helps you understand building an army for Hail Caesar and if you have any queries please drop us a comment, and we'll do our best to answer them.

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.
Excellent, glad you found it helpful :) Sounds like you have a good plan for getting your army on the tabletop!
So glad I found this channel! Brilliant and useful content.
Welcome aboard! Glad you found it useful.
Nice intro to the army building
Thank you, glad you found it helpful.
Highly interesting. Cheers man.
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome much appreciated
Happy to help!
Nice presentation, lovely minis!
Many thanks!
Will you be covering any Blot Action in the future. A great break down on how to make a army thanks Scott
It's certainly possible at some point! Cheers Scott
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.
They are warlord games own brand.
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?
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?
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!
