Black Powder The Thin Red Line - Crimean War British Starter Army
Product Info
Black Powder The Thin Red Line is a complete British starter army set for the Black Powder historical tabletop wargame, focused on the Crimean War. Produced by Warlord Games, this boxed set provides a ready-made British force designed to get players onto the table quickly with a balanced mix of infantry, support units, and command elements.
Background
The phrase “The Thin Red Line” comes from the Battle of Balaclava, where a single line of British infantry held firm against a Russian cavalry assault. During the Crimean War, British forces relied on disciplined line infantry, improving firepower, and steadfast leadership to face modernizing armies in brutal conditions. This starter army represents that iconic period, capturing the resilience and tactical doctrine of the British Army in the mid-19th century.
What’s Included
This box includes a complete British Crimean War force featuring plastic infantry, command figures, and supporting units suitable for forming a playable Black Powder army. All miniatures are supplied with appropriate bases, along with any required accessories needed to field the force.
About the Model / Components
Miniatures are supplied unassembled and unpainted, allowing full customization. Models are scaled for 28mm historical wargaming and are fully compatible with Black Powder and other mid-19th-century tabletop systems. Assembly and painting are required, and standard hobby tools and plastic glue are recommended.
Why This Product Is a Great Choice
This starter army is an excellent entry point for players looking to begin Black Powder with a historically iconic force. It offers strong value, a cohesive army composition, and a clear path to expansion, making it ideal for new players, club play, and themed Crimean War campaigns.
