Renedra Castle Build - In action

[jon_1066]

Thanks for the comments.  Some more shots from this weekends work.  All the stone work is painted and have started on the doors, etc.  Also been experimenting with layouts and I am pleased with the flexibility of it.

The smallest castle


One with a great hall


Two baileys


Some paint on the roof and a start on the doors


As you can just about tell some of the doors I have mounted on a piece of paving to make them flexible in position so I don't need to use the gatehouse and can fit doors to the wall walks where needed.  Unfortunately the gaps are not equal on the three bays on the towers so the doors supplied don't fit on the outer ones.  Will have to shave a door or two for those.  I have also made a small landing for access to the keep which is removable as well.

It also had it's first run out this weekend - a simple game with my 8 year old and some chaos marines fighting it out over the castle.

Indeed. Looking very good

Love the modular build - very impressive!

[Suber]

That's absolutely impressive. Wow, what a project .

Thanks

Well it's pretty much done:

All the doors are painted and the roof of the great hall.

Another configuration.  This shows the additional gates I painted to give greater flexibility (so it doesn't have to have a gatehouse)


Some close ups

Corner wall


I have to say I am pretty pleased with how it has turned out - one of the rare occasions where my vision actually translated into reality.  I have a few more bits and bobs to add - some more doors, some wooden stairs for accessing the wall walk and the keep.  I have also got some charm bracelet cauldrons to turn into markers for boiling oil and a pile of bits with which to build something additional.  I could probably get a decent hall out of them to allow me to assemble a church using the keep tower or could use them for some infill buildings in the courtyard.

That is really splendid. You should be justifiably pleased with you handiwork. Great job 

Tiny constructive criticism - if it was me, I'd give it a bit more weathering, but maybe you prefer the clean castle look 

Looking forward to seeing it with figures swarming all over it!

[Sunjester]

That looks absolutely superb, well done.

Great stuff

Indeed.

[smirnoff]

Brilliant bit of work
Like Captain Blood I'd like a tad more weathering, especially at the base of the wall to sit it on the terrain, but it looks fantastic as is.

Stunning build
Love the colour choice

[beefcake]

Awesome result there. Any chance of seeing pics of it in action in the future?

[majorsmith]

Fantastic! But yes I agree it needs a tad more weathering

[killshot]

That is fantastic!  Love the color choice for the walls.

just have to join the applauding club!
Great build, colour choice and changeability.

I also agree, such a work should receive some weathering!

Cheers
