Please hit that Subscribe and LIKE button and share! So I bought some 15mm Carthaginian 3d printed figures from the Cromarty Forge range sold by Plastic Soldier Company. I thought I'd show them off and also look to see how they compare size wise with the new Epic Hail Caesar range from Warlord if you are thinking of bulking out your formations.

    thanks Dom, you probably have already looked at Pickett's Charge rules for your ACW, but definitely worth a look for large table games in the boot room. Very good period feel which now as an old gamer seems the most relevant thing (my own written 'detailed' rules in the past would find us spending an evening playing out 3 or 4 one minute turns!). Keep doing your own thing and ignore the 'fault finders'.

    They turned out great Dom. I really like them. Shame about the scale it would bother me however. I see that they do actually do mid rep Romans at 13.5mm. Perhaps they will expand the range to compete with warlord and it would ideal for epic scale. I have actually for the first time entered epic with the hannibal box set. Found a place that did 22% off making it 185. A fair saving on 240.

    Great paintjob, they look fantastic. =) They look like they'll go great with Forged in Battle, Baueda, etc. Quite annoyed with Warlord that they dropped the scale back down for Hail Caesar... the scale doesn't match with anything. Kinda hard to convince myself that's not a deliberate choice. Bit of a shame.

    They look really nice, what is the resin like that is used to print them? I believe it is not brittle like a lot of others and has more flexibility to it? I'm concerned the weapons will snap easily in this scale.

    Very nice video! It is very interesting to have a comparison with epic. I think that Cromarty has started to release their printings in "epic scale" as well. They should be smaller and more compatible. Anyway, I prefer Cromarty and the 15mm to the epic scale.
