Are any of the vendors that are going to Little Wars in a couple weeks bringing Frostgrave items with them? |

I have the GW old Mighty Fortress from the 80s. GW's newer hard plastic fortress is sadly out of print. Warlord's new one looks good, if pricey. Renedra's looks good as well (although it seems to have these big arrow slits that are placed too high for someone use), and might not be quite as expensive as Warlord's. MBA has their pre-painted resin pieces. Expensive, but also with curved sections, etc. What else is out there? What do folks think of the options? |

Check out vatican enterprises I have their's and I love it because it's so flexible. The walls mate with the tower on a curve so you dont have to have 90 degree corners |

That's a cool castle system, Razor. I was wondering how big it was, but some of the pics show a GW High Elf that my children were playing this morning on the Mighty Fortress, so that's perfect so scale. :) |

Is the Zvezda castle system still available? I had one a dozen years ago; even though it is marketed as 1/72, it made a good Helm's Deep for the GW LotR figures. |

No, the Zvezda one's been OOP for some time now, as far as I can tell. |

The Vatican/Hudson-Allen castle is beautiful but slightly smaller in scale--it will work fine with "heroic" 28mm but was really designed for 25mm. |

Osprey was at Adepticon this past weekend. I plan to run a Frostgrave event or tournament at Adepticon 2017. |

A pity the Vatican/H.A. people don't produce a nice 15mm scale castle. |

How did my frostgrave become castles? I have the H&A castle and it's nice. But yes it is slightly smaller. |

How did my frostgrave become castles? The TMP bug (in its latest incarnation) strikes again!! |

I have the H&A castle and it's nice. But yes it is slightly smaller. Yeah, from their pictures it looks like the walls and parapets seem about right, but the molded interior buildings seem too small. I'm guessing the towers might also be pretty small at the top (maybe 4 28mm minis?). |

Dwarven Forge is running a Castle Builder System kickstater that has closed. But apparently will be open to new pledgers during the Pledge Manager phase next week: link |

In the towers of the H&A castle I can fit 3 minis without touching, each based on 1" washers. 4 minis would be ok but the bases would overlap on some. |
