Warlord epic Napoleonics.

Post by FreddBloggs »

I have been drawn into this, just a British Infantry Brigade Box and a French Infantry Brigade one.

So keeping it small, and I can stop anytime I want....

The figures seem to be a very slender 13mm to the eyes, 15mm to the top of the head. Does anyone know old 15mm ranges that might match (note to self, check ESSEX) as Intend to use them with DBN so more command groups would give me more units.

Unboxing brought on a very quaint nostalgia of opening airfix boxes as a kid, much fun!

They are neither fish nor fowl, too short and sleight to fit in with any range of 15mm, too tall for 10mm.

Reason I mentioned Essex is that they are a small 15mm by modern standards, and I have some!

Maybe old minifigs might match.

Probably, but part of the attraction is 1 strip = 1 figure in painting terms.

It depends if it gets out of hand.....

Have a look at the old Tabletop range now available from Brickdust.

These are pretty close to Epics but do have larger heads.

I know that some use Peter Pig heads to convert figures.

Are you going to cut the figures down to fit standard 40mm DBN bases or go with the 60mm base option.

Have you seen what Lee is doing with Epic figures for DBN. http://napoleonictherapy.blogspot.com/?m=1
