    I'd love to see a full warband! I feel like playing a skirmish game you could focus more on making the table look spectacular since it's so much less space to have to build for. I love the games Joseph makes and this is an interesting project idea! If you do more please share where you track down more minis in that scale. Thanks for another great video 😊

    i happened on this by chance and honestly this hurts my soul... i mostly play for 40k but thankfully my army has not been touched much yes we got new models but we are allowed to supplement for the older models...and i mostly play friends so we just play with what ever rules were last. just want to say thanks I love your demeanor and subbed love it keep up the good work plus i learned a lot of painting techniques from you.

    I'm of the opinion that almost all 28mm+ wargames can be reduced to 15mm and play the same, but are suddenly much cheaper and easier to store. It's an excellent scale.

  • @michaelmiller2418
    @michaelmiller2418 2 дні тому

    I'm glad you don't feel entirely negative about all this, but I must admit this video made ME feel gutted by the changes. It saddens me that GW games took off the way they did, only for the company to go this road. GW has been like this for some time now, but it's sad that their games were going so well, and now a whole new bunch of hobbyists got burned the same way I did when my Warhammer Fantasy armies were destroyed.

    Great video. I paint 6mm, 15mm and 28mm Napoleonic miniatures. I also have Silver Bayonet, I have not played it yet but hopefully soon. I live out in Vällingby and if you want to play some historical miniature wargames, let me know. It would be cool to meet you since you also live in Stockholm! Skål!

  • @zippy5131
    @zippy5131 2 дні тому

    I don't paint anything biger than 20mm anymore or game with. Smaller is easier, cheaper and a lot less room to store and game. At the moment I'm painting some 6mm Napoleonic French. Need to find those Orcs though...............

    Great vid and with so many other great vids referenced it works as must see compilation too. That's a lovely finished mini, and in all of the troops raised for the wars of Napoleon someone absolutely would have uniformed his personal retinue in vivid orange and green. The colours definitely bring the tiny guy to life and a dozen of his company advancing in two lines across a verdant green field would just make you grin to see. Great vid and with so many other great vids reminders it works like a must see reminder too.

    15mm on regular round bases look surprisingly good. Food for thoughts, playing 28mm games with no other changes but miniature scale seems possible, might even makes range make a little more sense with guns.

  • @raspberrymilkshake5782
    @raspberrymilkshake5782 2 дні тому

    Who says having one 15mm model means the entire game needs to be that scale- maybe the band got cursed in some way and shrunk down, then you could have a mix of whatever scale you want at the time with a funny backstory to tell your opponents.

    When sealing metal miniatures I find that using a gloss varnish helps against chipping. Then knocking down the gloss with a matte varnish works well.

    @mordecaitoth6703 2 дні тому

    I really enjoy "travel size" wargaming and painting to a "tabletop ready" standard on a 15mm scale model is not only incredible quick but also looks way better than it should when you start moving all the tiny minis around together at arms length. Half-scale is obviously most appealing for when you just don't have space for a full 4'x4' board or bigger but having a little pocket skirmish game ready to go at a moments notice is its own kind of fun, imo. Great paint job and glad you enjoyed Salute. Thanks for sharing!

    As a Napoleonics nerd I was disturbed to see that your soldier belongs to no known regiment - unknown in the real world, that is, which, given the game’s premise, obviously cannot be argued with. If you’re planning to build an entire unit from this mysterious corps, however, you may want to consider what battle honour(s) should be embroidered on its Colonel’s colour; Sartorial Taste would perhaps be as good as any. On the other hand, as I believe the game allows you to form your unit from a variety of parent regiments, you have the opportunity to add, say, a Highlander (you’ll love painting the tartan on the kilt, I’m sure) and, of course, a Rifleman on detached duty, perhaps replacing the overall rifle green with a magenta and yellow combination for maximum discombobulation of the spectral enemy, to say nothing of your fellow players. The possibilities, for good or ill, are endless.
