I know, I've still got an untouched Warhammer Castle from GW that I bought years ago. I think I paid £50 for that and I thought I was mad then. Ah well it's only money lol

Looks a bit crap to me, you can pick up toy castles that look better than that

Yeah but John Stallard and his minions make every one from individual little bricks like all good castle builders ;D

That's what I thought, too, and I noticed that Warlord sells the smaller house/barn/chapel kits from Tabletop also. Perhaps Warlord gobbled them up?

Maybe someone can needle the Warlord guys at Salute, to get more info.

Sure it is the Tabletop Workshop castle looking at the pictures. Quickly did a comparison with the upcoming renedra castle using the available information I found online. If of interest http://wargameterrain.blogspot.be/2016/04/warlord-games-tabletop-workshop-modular.html

Quick price

- Warlord Games The Citadel (ex-Tabletop Workshop) £190 outside UK - £175 inside UK
- Renedra Standard Castle £250
- Renedra Large Castle £290

But think the Renedra Standard Castle contain more walls and at least one more tower (they look larger too and are square) compared to The Citadel. Prefer the look of the Renedra castle despite the higher price tag as the Warlord Games one looks way more like an ordinary 'toy' castle.

B*tch, please...

I'd rather have this one for $265 USD with the option for laser mdf hoardings:

Or even this more modest version for $140

Like Painterman and others, I'm a big fan and supporter of the Hudson & Allen products for medieval.

Just one guy's opinion...

Cheaper to buy a toy castle or an ex GW one on ebay...

or build one...

Personally I think the towers look too low
