I think the concept is very exciting, even to a wargamer of over 40 years like myself. I have a few issues of course mainly around the use of a single sprue for both sides and the price of the future releases, but the main starter box will keep me painting for a few months. I keep reminding myself that these figures (starter) are VERY cheap, around 3 to 4p per figure? I do have an issue with having to buy 300 Zouaves for £40.00 though as I know I’ll never use them all! I don’t know if Warlord were aware just how well the Kallistra figures match these epics because an awful lot of orders are going that way at the moment clearly for command and cavalry etc. I probably WILL buy the Zouaves and Iron Brigade boxes but clearly will be selling off unused sprues on eBay.
Anyway, that said they do paint up a treat and very quickly, I’m trimming down my Union hats to kepis and much happier, it’s a bit fiddly but worth the effort and so far all muskets and fingers remain intact. I’m also using printed Warflag flags as I think the Union flags a tad too small so wanted them a bit bigger but aside from that the impact of (in my case) 60 figure units is quite something to behold 🙂
A few painted Rebs (I’m about same number of Yanks now, 360 painted figures in 2 weeks is pretty good going).
