Title: Border Reivers buildings suggestions
Post by: Poiter50 on 23 July 2010, 07:22:09 AM: OK, this is a follow up to my request on the article published on Border Reivers.

I have picked up a number of figures for use as foot and mounted, 3 sets of rules and some PMC Games buildings plus dug out an amount of livestock that was lurking in the accumulator, funny how they multiply when you check out the lead mountain pile/s! Now I am looking for suggestions for 15th to 17th Century Border Reiver agricultural type buildings, both farm style as sheds (have a barn & cattle shed) and residences such as crofters cottages. I was thinking Celtic style but most of them appear to be round and my perception is that they would be rectangular. Any suggestions for 25/28 mm buildings?

Interesting that in collecting a Border Reiver force, I seem to have started an ECW Scots army! At this stage I can probably field about 1500 points of Scots Government forces. lol

I can also run a pack of hounds that look extremely mean.

Infact having just checked the Grand manner website they have stone crofts and stone farm buildings, fortified houses etc, exactly what you are looking for. :)

Just had some livestock arrive via Ebay, now to get mobile and do some work.
