Black Powder miniatures are 28mm scale, consistent with most historical and Warlord Games lines. This scale allows for large, cinematic battles on the tabletop without sacrificing detail.

Black Powder covers a wide range of conflicts including the Napoleonic Wars, American War of Independence, American Civil War, and more. It's a flexible system adaptable to nearly any 18th–19th century battle.

Starter sets are the best way to begin. They typically include two opposing forces, a rulebook, dice, and terrain. We recommend the “Waterloo Starter Set” or the “ACW Gettysburg Starter Set” for new players.

Most units require assembly and come unpainted. Kits include multi-part plastic or metal miniatures, which allow for customization and hobby enjoyment.

While it's possible to mix miniatures for casual play or painting projects, we recommend staying within the same era for game balance and historical immersion. Black Powder is organized by conflict period for this reason.
