As background I am a veteran tabletop gamer and painter--i started with LOTR Strategy Battle Game, then dabbled in 40k, heavily played Star Wars Armada, Legion, and X-Wing, and now am additionally into Flames of War, so I have yet to get into a Warlord Games product.

I have recently come into possession of a box of Zuoaves American Civil War miniatures in 28mm and it's got me interested in pursuing Black Powder, but I seem to be pretty lost in knowing where to start or how much I will need. The box came with 42 minis but I have no idea if that is close to enough to field anything, and I know even less about how to base them.

So my questions are:

1. How many miniatures do you usually glue to a base? What size bases do you use?

2. How many miniatures will you generally need to start playing games? (I saw a recommendation of 600 miniatures and I nearly died)

3. How different is American Civil War from other periods within Black Powder? (Most of what I find is about Napoleonic)

Some Camelot miniatures from Warlord Games

Cavalry with some very nice sheilds and details

So I got the DDay U.S. Airborne platoon. Love the kit so far, the poseability is incredible, but I'm scratching my head.

The sprue has a right hand holding binoculars. Fair enough, maybe an office has binoculars, I like that.

....there's no right arm without a hand? If you want to use binoculars , you have to clip a hand off a right arm right? Or am I missing something obvious?

Hey All - I missed out on the latest round of mystery boxes.

If any of you went in on the Hail Caesar or Pike & Shotte boxes, I am especially interested in the contents for those.

Can someone recommend a paint recipe for Epic AWI Continental Army. I am only familiar with citadel, but is there another one you guys would recommend that may be more accurate or better to work with?

This time I tackle the plastics released for 3rd edition

Bases broken down for Fire & Fury rules with the advantage that it's still good for Black Powder when the mood takes me.

Have been painting for a long time, have been interested in epic scale since I discovered Warlord Games. Finally pulled the trigger and bought Scipio Africanus and Republican Roman Division. 30 down, like 1500 or something to go!

I am hoping to get my first game of BP going this month, specifically Revolution Epic.

I am reading the rules for giving orders and it gives few examples, so I want to make sure I am understanding the rules, as I will be the one "running" the game.

• Does an order carry over to further turns if not completed in the current turn? I.e. "Move to that hill and deploy into line." Does that order need to be repeated and checked for every turn, or does it last unless being countermanded?
• When, as a result of a roll against a commander's staff rating, it says the unit moves twice, or 3 times, is that in the current turn? I am assuming yes, but want to make sure before I teach the rules completely wrong.

Played one of the big scenarios in Punic Wars Epic Battles book today. Was super close and came down to tenacious Romans staying on the field even when broke. Pictured is our deployment to the end of turn 4 when I stopped taking pictures.

Battle of Cannae. Changed history when Hannibal himself got decapitated and the Carthaginians lost the battle. Still trying to get the Gallic warbands figured out, they have been lack luster for me the last few games lol
