VBCW Buildings
« on: 28 April 2010, 10:43:01 PM »
Anyone seen any of these?  Are they any good?  They appear to fill a gap in the market.  ::)

You could also use the facades that Overlord made for his Geezers games!

I'd rather get Overlords stuff. Those laser cut mdfs look rather boxy, like they way a child draws a house.

I've seen the warbases stuff in the flesh, and its actually quite good.

Given the time and budget, i'd probably have a whole town of Overlord's facades, but from a weight point of view, the warbases houses would be lighter (not that the Overlord buildings would be massively heavy).

I have thought of facades, but I wanted 3D buildings to fight around, not just a street that looks like a Hollywood lot.  Thanks for the input, guys.

The buildings look very nice

however, do they seriously expect that somebody would buy gravel? ;)

Are the window just flat, not recessed. :?
I think I will spend my money on the bits (Windows) and pieces and make the walls myself. :D

@ Joroas - Outpost now sell the parts to make the entire buildings, not just the lovely frontages

For £12 for the Warbases houses you can't go wrong
They were all drawn to the Keep; the soldiers who brought death; the father and daughter fighting for life; the people who have always feared it; and the one man who knows its secret....

I can go wrong with anything.
