Hi folks:
-so i've used TIMECAST's 15-20mm "low walls with gate" which is 16mm high. Works well as a low/shoulder height wall.

-I've also been in contact with 4GROUND and they sell wall sections [ 20S-TAO-101, 20S-TAO-102 and 20S-TAO-103 ] but these are also 16mm high.

Does anyone know where I could find a wall that would serve as a High Wall as often seen in Normandy scenarios for 20mm figures. My guess is that the wall would need to be equivalent to 7-9 feet high so maybe something about 30-35 mm tall on the battlefield.

Thanks!

Sometimes you need a lot of walls, have you considered making your own? For this scenario set in Normandy Corridor of Death scenario I needed a lot of high walls and so made these from cork floor tiles from a hardware store.

Work out the height you need and cut to size with a box cutter or Stanley knife. Mount them on a MDF base with PVA glue. I added strips of thinner cork purchased from a craft shop for the tiles along the top. Paint the walls dark grey then dry brush with lighter shades, the texture of the cork gives the rough look you want. Paint the tiles terracotta and dry brush. This will give you a lot of walls at a very reasonable price.

Cork tile is very versatile. You can use the same to make low walls and it's very good for making buildings. It is light, very strong, adheres easily with PVA and it is already textured. All the buildings and walls in this game are made from cork tiles Force on Force Afghanistan (however in this particular instance these are 28mm but the same approach would obviously work in 20mm).

Perhaps these might be helpful (although a bit pricey if you need a lot):

the italeri 1/72 plastic walls are very tall. I second this!

Have you considered to print these walls to your demand?
