Hi,

I've managed to find some great terrain options for my 15mm Arthurian (Dux Brit) campaign (Steve Barber for buildings, Baueda for fortifications, Museum for carts and such), but can't find anyone who makes a 15mm watchtower. Any suggestions?

I have a 1:87 scale cardstock kit which will probably do, but I thought I would see if there were any other options.

Cheers,

Christopher

1/87 scale models work well with 15mm figures.

It might be worth looking at The BaggageTrain's 10mm Watchtower … that is what I use for my 15mm kit …

The picture should give you an idea of the size … Not to scale but it suits the aesthetic I am looking for.

Hope it helps

or you could just build one?

Or better yet… pay me to build one?

Chris, what did you end up using? I think the Baggage Train set looks very good. Has anyone bought the set with the turf wall?

YTP makes a good point, generally under scale buildings look way better on the battlefield.
True scale buildings are usually too dominant.

I did order the Baggage Train 10mm Roman watchtower without the earth rampart, I can make that myself. Thanks for the input.

Hi,

I went with this neat kit from Warbases:

It's in "small" 25mm scale, which means that with a little cutting down of the handrails it worked great for today's "large" 15mm figures.

Cheers,

Christopher

June 2nd, still waiting for my Tower to come, need it to start my campaign. I E-mailed the company and got no response. Getting concerned.

Is Baggage Train know to take their time on an order? It is a damn small order.
