Hail Caesar Epic (12mm)

[Ray Rivers]

Usually big discounts on Warlord Games products once they are out in the wild. You will probably still get a good deal.

I found a store that is offering the core Hannibal Battle Set (288 Euros) for 259,20 Euros.

I think even in my prime painting days, I would be hard pressed to paint all those minis. I'm looking more at the Scipio and Hannibal army sets, if I pull the trigger.

Big question I have is decals for the shields.

Both from Warlord and other manufacturers.

I usually use LBMS transfers for shields, including all my punic war minis. I think for these it might be hard since many are overlapped and such. It looks like they come with simple decals.

I still plan to get these, but I am very torn. If I am completely honest I don't really care for the way they have done the Roman infantry in blocks.

The German site Brückenkopf-online has an excellent photo documentation of the sprues:

Now I am tempted again. That looks really nice and could be used for several DBx armies, too.

Wargames Illustrated in the shops now (pocked mine up from Sainsbury) in the UK with an Epic Sprue on the cover.

I often regret that even now it’s difficult to get hold of WI here in Germany. A sprue to tinker with would be very welcome!

Battlefield Berlin have it in stock. Could even choose the sprue included when I ordered a copy just the other day.

That said, it's still a great shame that WI is readily available in the US but not right across the Channel.

Ah, of course, the Battlefield, I have fond memories of that place when I was still living in Berlin. I’ll see if they still have it and will make an order!

I agree the Romans dont look right at all ... but then again they are really only Speed Bumps for my Mighty Carthaginians any way ..
On a more Positive note the Rulebook looks Awesome and is a must have ..  , and Hopefully this will reignite the Period for Veteran players and  kick start a whole lot of new players into the Punic Wars .. which is always a  good  thing .
Cheers

which reminds me to go and hunt out a copy of this months WI

Picked up my July copy of Wargames Illustrated yesterday from Sainsbury’s (UK store) which had a Roman sprue on the front. It has nice crisp miniatures with good detail. The system for ranking 3 strips per base while minimising painting is very well thought out and a nice touch.

Ultracomixx in Nürnberg also stocks WI.

I think I missed the boat on the WI mag availability

 If I am completely honest I don't really care foe the way they have done the Roman infantry in blocks.

I agree - they are packed closer than a Macedonian phalanx! Not the way I envisage Republican Romans (or most of their foes) at all.
That said though the whole lot will look pretty cool on the table.
