A recent weekend project, (and yes, actually done in a single weekend). It's now on my blog, with lots of photos, too. link Hope you enjoy! P.S. Also contains some close up photos of a few 10mm miniatures that didn't show up so well in my last post. |

Nice job on it Parzival. I must admit, I'm tempted. It certainly looks good and it's built to play. |

Agreed, excellent report, thanks! |

Interesting
I see the basic configuration is like the GW castle but smaller ! Personally the overhangs look wrong – better not to have had them in my opinion |

Awesome review, thanks! I agree with EricThe Shed. |

Great review and photos, I like your "poor man's Orthanc." Good to see the BoFA minis as well. |

Strangely, I just built one of their warchests and the instructions did recommend using a rubber band to hold the parts tight. Thanks for the review and I will start planning a Helm's Deep scenario. . . |

The instructions do mention the rubber bands, but only with regards to the tower battlements. But they work quite well for the other sections, too. |

Very nice review. Lovely pictures. Great Job! |

That last photo is a little scary: fortifications multiply the defender's manpower, and a stone fortification mulitplies their effective manpower even more dramatically
With that many defenders on the walls, and towers, it would take an incredible number of attackers to even have a chance at defeating them -- unless they could quickly breach the walls somehow. Very scary, indeed. I think I would wait for starvation to cull the defenders' numbers
Nice fortress, review, and write-up. Thanks for sharing. Cheers! |
