Description
Summary: One unpainted metal miniature released for Historicon 2016.
Black Powder is a game for the militarily inclined gentlemen with straight backs, bristling beards and rheumy eyes that have seen a thing or two. If tales of battle and glory in days-gone-by stir nothing in your breast, if the roar of cannon does not quicken the pulse and set fire in the belly, then this is not the rule set for you. Set during the horse & musket period of 1700-1900, Black Powder is very much a game for gentlemen gamers. Gamers who cherish the finer things in life such as wonderfully painted armies, fighting over luxurious terrain, and doing so in the company of friends. No need for the use of protractors to wheel a unit and arguments over whether a charge is 2mm out of range or not are things you’ll no longer have to worry about. In essence it’s a very relaxing game that can produce stunning conflicts – conflicts that can see one side appear doomed only for them to pull victory from the icy grasp of Mistress Defeat.
INTO THE VALLEY OF DEATH. As in previous years, Warlord Games has produced the exclusive show miniature – based on George MacDonald-Fraser’s scoundrel ‘hero’ Harry Flashman at the Charge of the Light Brigade, Battle of Balaclava 1854.
Suffering from the effects of the heady concoction of fear and the previous evenings over indulgence in champagne, Flash once again finds himself in peril when he is unhorsed at the head of the glorious charge of the Light Brigade at Balaclava. Springing to his feet, our hero whips out his sabre and, er, offers it to his captors as he splutters “Friend! Don’t hurt me!”. They don’t make heroes like that any more…
"Hero" standing besides fallen horse. One piece metal figure, decorative base. 28mm scale.
Pack contains one character. Miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly.
