Hi - I'm looking at getting a medievil (13-14C) castle to serve as a impassable terrain piece. I'll like the footprint to be around the 9-11" mark. There are a couple of options

Kallistra - have a 10mm modular range

Magister Militum have a 15mm castle set (JR miniatures)

Old Glory do a Crusader castle set in 10mm

I'd like it to look imposing but don't want to do as low as 6mm (the games will have 15mm figures). ALl of the above are pretty pricey and the online pic are hit and miss.

Has anyone had any experience/recommendations of the above? or any alternatives?

thanks

Simon

I have just made an order for these:

You will have to build your own castle, but I like doing it so it is perfect for me. I have done a castle 50cmx50cm with other materials (mainly foam) and this will be my first time with Paris plaster. The good thing is that the molds can be used for many other projects.

Oh, an example of my castle:

I have some of the Hirch stuff as well
It adapts easily to lots of uses BUT it is a pain to cast all the stuff you need
