Hi Folks

Help Please - looking for siege engines - 28mm scale

I really wanted to get one of the Zvezda trebuchets but sadly they are no longer available...

Has anybody seen the gripping beast version - any piccies?

Warbases have some small bits - bolt throwers, ladders etc.
You could ask if they have plans to expand into anything bigger.
