28mm Crusader castle?

[Captain Blood]

Yes, they're very good. Not so well known in the UK, but quite popular in Germany. Lots of very nice pieces, and very reasonably priced IMHO.

Isn't the Renedra Castle is more intended for Frostgrave?

Old Glory has a few nice ones available, while technically 25mm, they fit in with other things at 28mm rather well

I think you are right. It seems a bit fantastical. My feeling is that the Warlord Plastic castle is probably closer to something historical if a bit bland in comparison.

Has anyone seen the Magister Millitum castles in person? In resin, they seem very much like the ticket being modular and even having historical flavors like Italian and Arab.  It looks to me like these may be the Arab looking castles they use in the Saga C&C book.  I am just wondering if they scale well with modern 28's and what the quality of the casting is. Someone earlier in the thread suggested they were the old Ian Weekly range.  If that's the case, then I guess my question is answered thanks to the previous photos and comments.

It's narrowing down to the Warlord castle and the Magister Millitum at this point.

Out of interest, what did you go for?

I'm considering buying more of the MM stuff, but the increase in prices from switching to proper resin instead of the foam is constraining my choice.

Supreme Littleness Designs is releasing a 28mm crusader castle based on the keep of Byblos Castle this weekend at Claymore. It's designed with the help of the Edinburgh University history department, and it's pretty big. Just the keep for now, but outer walls are coming as a later release, I believe -- after all, many crusader castles are keep-only.

Anyway, I'll be working the Gaming a Crusader Castle project stand at Claymore and I'll try to get some good photos of it in action.

Oooh. They have a LOT of nice stuff!!

I need that cottage and the casualty markers and Dragon Rampant sabot bases... and OOOH terrain bases...

Crikey!

James,

I'd be interested to see some pictures. As you know I quite like Supreme's mdf.(I think there's even a picture of one of my painted Arab buildings on his site )
Wish Id know about this before I'd accepted the tutorial challenge to build one from cereal packet card (just need to finish the armoured train one first. Then maybe they'll forget and I can buy one instead  )

I'm surprised nobody has brought up the prepainted Mage Knight castles.. I love mine... the towers and walls are VERY detailed... you can find the Keep, Towers and Gatehouse relatively cheap on ebay... the walls are hard to find and expensive unfortunately... could make your own out of foam though. Some detail pics... i don't have any of it at a distance though.

I see some nice rackham minis there

I would also recommend the Hudson and Allen castle.  I have a large quantity of it myself and it is slightly small in some respects but is not noticeable enough to be a problem for me.  Lots of variety in pieces and durable.

Good eye sir.. It's a slight obsession... You can see how deep my problem is over in the fantasy adventures page.
