Black Powder British Get A Boost With New Regiments By Warlord Games
June 13, 2017 by brennon
Warlord Games has put together some new metal and plastic regiments for you to drop into the mix for your Black Powder games. The British are getting some fearsome Highlanders!
Fighting on the front lines these fellows were hardy additions to the British army. The set allows you to pull together twenty of these soldiers alongside command elements too. While I don't think that it would be thematic I'd love to just make an army entirely out of Scottish folk!
Cavalry Charge
As well as the fellows on foot we also have some thundering cavalry too. Made using both plastic and metal in their kits we have the British Household Brigade...
...and the British Union Brigade.
Each of these sets gives you all manner of colourful characters to throw into the mix to spice up your games. The Union Brigade in particular sound fascinating, a mixed pot of soldiers from all manner of Dragoon regiments.
They all rode particularly aggressive horses too, powerful mounts that wanted to get stuck into a charge. You'd have to be quite the rider to maintain such a beast.
Will you be snapping these fellows up?

Napoleonics were the first table top wargame that I saw played out with miniatures inmy impressionable youth. The nice old men (they were probably in their 30s) who allowed a dopey 13 year old to watch as long a he didn’t ask too many questions, shaped the way I currently try to “do” wargamming. Consequently I have always had a soft spot for them.
These are beautiful and I think warlord’s range is constantly getting better. If I thought I could do my childhood memories justice I’d take the plunge. These minis sure are tempting.
Check out Muskets and Tomahawks. Easy rules, low miniature count and very fun. If you picked up a box or two of these guys and some riflemen you’d be set.
Sharp Practice is also very fun and the beauty of Historicals is you don’t have to decide
they are all looking great.
“Gordon! Get your b*stards up onto the crest there”
“Don’t you worry yourself Picton, my lads will hold ’em, aye, until you come…”
Tremendous, the heavies especially – waiting such a long time to see them. Time to roll out the Frogs and Lobsters for a bit of fun!!
Those do look really good.
