We've recently been using Lead Adventure to show off progress of our brand new 28mm Castle Modular Castle Kits. The kits are now complete and I thought I'd show you some of the fortifications you can build with the final products. :)

In the pictures above, you'll be able to see one of our unpainted designs. We created a huge Square Castle Keep, surrounded it with a Massive Octagonal Outer Wall and added a few 28mm Buildings to complete. The whole Castle has been made from Tabletop Workshop modular kits.
For the first time ever, gamers can design a unique Castle any shape and size. Want to make your Castle taller? Simply add more Tower and Wall middle levels. Smaller? Take the middle levels out completely. Tabletop Workshop Kits are designed to be glued into separate levels and each level uses the same clip and fit system. This means that like a Construction Set, walls can be built up to be as big or small as the creator desires. Want to position your figures inside the Castle? The parapet can be removed during the game allowing easy access to the inside. Simply station your figure next to one of our medieval arrow slits and reign terror from the sky.

Not everyone wants a square Castle. That's why we've designed the Tower and Walls to connect at four different angles through the Connector Sets. In fact, we recently set up a Castle Creation Centre (http://www.tabletopworkshop.co.uk/page_castlesrising.html) to show off our favourites. Our Standard Castle Set offers 3 Walls, 1 Wall Gate, 4 Towers and 4 Connector Sets. Add 2 Towers, 2 Walls and 2 Connector Sets to this and you have the ability to create your very own Hexagonal Castle! Furthermore, add 4 Towers, 4 Walls and 4 Connector Sets for a massive Octagonal Castle.
Unlike some of the alternative products out there, our Castle kits are made of hard plastic. When it comes to price, gamers can get a good chunk of kits for £100; a Standard Wall starts at £15 and Towers are available at £25 each. We also offer a discounted Standard Set which includes 4 Towers, 3 Walls, a Wall Gate and 4 Connector Sets.
You can find all of the details on http://www.tabletopworkshop.co.uk/ (http://www.tabletopworkshop.co.uk/)
Over time, we plan to release more modular sets so that the Gamers can expand their Castles. In fact, we're currently working on the massive 28mm Gatehouse as we speak!

Wonderfully versatile kit, would need to invest hundreds for the real castle I have in mind, though :)
-
I think Tabletop Workshop are at Battleground on Saturday so it will be interesting to see these in the plastic.
-
Very interesting and good to see them en masse :)
cheers

They look super - really looking forward to seeing these in the plastic.
-
Pocoloco, we will eventually start to release bundled Towers, Walls and Connectors designed to appeal to those who want to make a massive Castle.
Thanks for the feedback guys. We are at Battleground Saturday so come and see us! Hopefully we'll get to more of the shows across the UK next year than we have done this year. We'll keep you guys notified of where we're at through our Social Media Sites and Websites.

That sounds good.
I would love to make a intepretation of Olavinlinna Castle, suitable for gaming use, in its medieval look, more or less:

Wow!That looks great! We're currently getting a board made to show off the Castle. In the end we went for this design!

That will be a stunner :-*
Of course with new castle pieces you need to update that or make new tables :)
-
That look excellent, though I'm guessing there is over £600 of castle pieces there?
-
I'd need to sit down and work it out to be honest, but you're round about spot on. Over time, we hope to be bringing out bundles of Castle kits for those who wish to expand their Castles. At the minute, we've only just gotten ourselves sorted after all of the pre-orders!

Had a good look at these at Battleground. I have to say I was impressed. You can tell that they've been designed by engineers as they work as a believable structure (I think Mr Bibbly would approve!). The £140 deal is decent value compared to RRP but is still a lot of cash. That being said I think £ for £ these may be about the best commercially produced castles I've seen (yours are handcrafted Mr B!). I sadly couldn't afford a full castle but I picked up a stand alone tower which I'm very pleased with (thank you Tabletop Workshop for the extra gift too!).
-
:-*
But so much money for what I want.
-
No problem Elk101. Hope you enjoyed the show and keep us updated on the Watchtower progress!
-
(I think Mr Bibbly would approve!)
I think I do approve :D
cheers

Just to make sure it does not go unnoticed (I found no other reference here, but adding to an old tread seems appropriate)...
This castle set is now (re)released by Warlord Games. A bit more expensive then from TTW, but still with the splendid engineering put in by the original creator.
Between Renedras set, and with Tabletop-World also just releasing walls to attach to their Gate, we are truly spoiled for (expensive) choices...

Wife and children for sale on Ebay lol.
