Pretty nice, think I.

Wow :-*
VERY nice.

Not cheap and out of stock, unfortunately.

Yep I was trying to get my hands on the big deal and failed. Lovely stuff.
-
Wait, is that something you can actually use? :o
And 32.50e is even kind of cheap. Most properly textured 28mm buildings out there are made of resin and start from 30-40e. Boats and docks would be extra on top of that.
Of course, you can get 2D cardboard and whatnot cheaper than that but if I want to see flat polygons, I play 90s computer games...
-
Pretty clever kit too, some of the walls are reversible for more variation, and many of the add-ons can also be left off/placed elsewhere to get a fairly diverse little town. Would call it cheap nor expensive - just a decent price for what you get.
Apparently there's a set-up in Warhammer World with some scratchbuilt parts etc. for even more variation, looks nifty.

That's nice! :)
good looking kit and its not many that would think to include the shitter as well. Top job. 8)

I was not aware. Good news!
-
Did someone else notice that they've put a shitter straight on the dock? Quite unsanitary...

Lovely little building. Would certainly do for GoT in my mind :)
cheers

Beautiful scenery! :D

Unfortunately that's how it's done in many parts of our world still today, think of the big sprawls of Asia etc.
Great looking kit, shitter and all.

Its a fishing community. Saves on bait. :-X

Will it be avaible in GW "real" store ?

In the movie, the dwarves came up from the lake into Bard's house through the toilet.

That actually looks pretty nice. A bit 'wooden', if you will (pardon the pun), as there is no weight to the structure. So no sag in the roofline for instance. Something they went rather over the top with on the old plastic WHFB buildings. ;)
So these wouldn't easily mix with those without looking a bit out of place. Still very nice terrain though; the reversible walls are a great idea. Too bad they didn't do that back in the day with the WHFB buildings...
And from the GW site:
...these wooden structures were infamously swamped in flame by the great Smaug™ the Terrible...
lol lol lol
Smaugtee-Em; we call him Smaug for short. :D
-
[...] the reversible walls are a great idea. Too bad they didn't do that back in the day with the WHFB buildings...
They did (and with the roof plates as well IIRC), but both sides were still covered in skulls and comets and other tedious nonsense. ::)

Oh, yes, that old tat...

Did they? We're talking about the Chapel, Watchtower and Mansion, right? I have a hernia-worthy amount of those lying around, and as far as I know, those are not reversible... ???

They're not.
-
The ridge of the roof looks kinda half-bothered, especially on the rotate-a-vision images. The painted models are probably resin preproduction copies which would explain why they're a bit warped, but there still doesn't seem to have been any effort to sculpt a ridge tile.
-
I reckon those Lake Town houses look pretty good and with a little effort could be very useful indeed.
The wooden walkways are a great bonus.
The price is pretty good too.
Kudos to GW for producing them.

Thanks for the tip-off, Hammers, and as I dont really look at much GW stuff, these would have completely passed me by for a while.
:)

If they did more useful things like this they would have my custom more frequently. The plastic forrest is rather good to.
-

That's the range I mean, yes.
As far I know, the chapel is reversible?
Can't remember if any elements of the mansion are reversible, but the watchtower isn't.
Edit: apologies, my memory is apparently rather faulty on this occasion! None of them are reversible. o_o

Agreed!
The trees and Osgiliath ruins were both very nice kits.

I agree, sir.
I have a set of the woods and they do tart up pretty well.

Based to match my standard board, they have seen use in plenty of genres, mostly Old West and Strange Aeons but, strangely, not in a fantasy setting (yet!).......
-
The Citadel Wood is really cool but at 30 USD is pricey for a stand of three trees.
The Lake-town houses by contrast are very good bang for your buck considering the cost of similar items across the wider market, which GW usually ignores. So exactly the opposite of the situation with the Citadel Wood.
I snagged the three pack as soon as they came up for pre-order. They are currently sold out worldwide as folks tend to know a good deal when they see one. Rumour is GW is trying to get them back in stock ASAP.
-

They re-released the ruins recently. I snapped up two sets, with plans to do some cutting and make one real nice overgrown ruin! Definitely a nice kit.
-
That is a fair point regarding the price point of the Wood.
I picked mine up for a reasonable price on ebay, but may well baulk at paying that much (they were cheaper here in the UK).
They do come out pretty nice, though......
And, yes, I do want some of those Lake Town houses, which really are a decent price.
:)
-
I liked the Osgiliath ruins kit quite a lot at first but less so after working with it. Even so, I still think it is a pretty nice value at current pricing - far less so during the recent peak ebay pricing for LotR kits.
Anyhow here are some of my efforts with it:

The citadel scenery range is something I've always wanted to get hold of, but never made that considered decision to purchase.
If I remember correctly the Garden of Morr kit looked particularly versatile, especially for things like Mordheim. Also always wanted the trees, oh bugged, this has got me thinking of 28mm stuff again.
-
I find the ruin kits a bit thin for stone walls.

Probably referring to the older ruins set? (Ruins of Middle-earth I think it was called, with the standing and fallen down statue.) The Osgiliath Ruins is much better in various ways.
Anyway, for those interested, the Lake-town houses are back in stock (for) now:

I am sorely tempted.
-
Seems being tempted is a luxury difficult to afford these days - sold out again! Well, I guess they'll try and restock it as soon as possible, given the popularity.

Fuck. Me.

Farkin ridiculous with a company of that size...... ::)
That saves me even thinking about getting some then.

Just reading this thread, saw the in-stock comment and they are sold out again. They do look really nice
-
Yeah, I'm getting tired of the pseudo-limited time offerings GW has. Either sell them or don't sell them, plenty of other manufacturers to throw my money at ( and Jove knows I have the past few months ) but stop wasting my time announcing something and let it go out of stock the very same day/week...
-
This isn't a limited product at all, it's just a product with extremely high demand.
-
It's back again! I've ordered the Lake-town House Multi-pack.
-
I almost ordered, but then I remembered how much stuff I have in the queue. I'll probably pick up a set after Christmas some time. The Osgiliath ruins have continued to be available after that first rush of people ordering, so I'm counting on these coming back a few more times at least.
-
Given the clear demand and with this being a plastic kit, I'm sure it will be available until the license runs out - which won't be for a good few years. Would be interesting to know how many they sold so far, it certainly proved more popular than they expected.
-

You are right. I just got a set today for my boys Frostgrave (Fallgrave) board. Quite sturdy and quite a bit nicer than Renderas. Well worth the money, I feel.
-
It's back again! I've ordered the Lake-town House Multi-pack.
Well, that was bloody good service! I ordered it yesterday morning and it's just arrived by courier (it was free postage as well as it was over £40). Under 30 hours from order to arriving at my home! :)
-
Out of stock here in Canada.
What a stupid company.
-
Every time I think, OK I'll buy one or two, having seen they are back again on this thread, I discover they are sold out again. Repeatedly signed up for notification emails, but haven't received one to date. Its almost as it they don't want me to get the Laketown House :-(

You might be the lucky one. I signed up to for notification emails for the Sisters of Battle canoness. I got about 200 emails the other evening telling me it was back in stock. With no link or means to unsubscribe.
-
Got one ! ;D

Word is that GW was generous in its projections for all the new LotR stuff and printed/cast/machined accordingly, but that demand just blew their expectations away. There and Back again is scheduled for another print run after Christmas, but the plastic scenics are constantly vying for injection-machine time in the company's schedule.
-
Perhaps GW overlooked its potential outside of LotR: it does look a most-useful kit for many genres. 8)
-
US webstore has these back in stock, friends.
-
Thanks Manchu. Placed my order moments ago.
Regards,
Hitman

-
That was fast, out of stock again in the USA. :-[
-
Tell me about it. I got my email they were back in stock and when I hit the link they were gone. Again.
-
Sorry gents, posted here (and on Dakka Dakka) as soon as I saw them back in stock but I believe they were gone again within the hour. I had a set ordered before the "back in stock" email even hit my inbox.
Hope this convinces GW to do more plastic terrain. What else from the Hobbit movies would you like to see?
Personally, I'd be down for some Dol Guldur scenery. That would be extremely useful!
-
It seems that they are back in stock - I've just ordered a set.
-
If you have an official GW shop near you the guy can buy it for you when available, sparing you "the hunt" ;)
