Thommy H:
I’m only dimly aware of Mage Knight (it’s like Warhammer Heroclix, right?) but I randomly encountered this terrain piece being used in a thread on Frothers and it piqued my interest. Wouldn’t this be great as a basis for a Chaos Dwarf fortress?
There’s just something about the shape of the battlements and all the spikes that makes it look really Chaos Dwarfy to me. You can pick up the individual parts for, like, £4 on Amazon. Worth getting, do you think?
Baggronor:
Worth getting, do you think?Err, ya :o
Thommy H:
I quite liked the twiddly stuff. Also, I’m lazy. Maybe I’ll look into getting a couple of walls and a tower and see what I can come up with.
Hammerhand:
Nice find Thommy, cheers for sharing!!
Shakhorth:
I saw this in the store. We looked at this piece for our campaign battles, but conclueded it was rather small for our purposes.
Kered:
Great find. I think what works best is that the battlements are very angular which distinguishes it form castles of the Empire.
Zanko:
The castle looks very promising! :cheers
I will try to have a keener look in a shop cause imo the material and the details are important!
By the way what scale have the Mage Knight models - also 28mm?
All in all great find Thommy! :hat off
:hashut

Its stylistically interesting and comes prepainted. If you can get together enough pieces its very much worth it.
Ebay has a good number of pieces as well. You can find the stuff on a couple sites that sell out of print gaming goods and its usually marked down.
Shakhorth:
Yeah I see it looks rather nice on full terrain with a couple of armies duking it out. Well perhaps we should have gone for it. Oh well got a few castles now, no need for another one I guess. :DI saw this in the store.

Great find, i think that would work really well painted in some dark colours with some death rockets on the towers and some CDs on the wall, very cool do it!! and then post pics

I would feel compelled to expand the standing positions on the walls myself, And change the decorations on the pillar etc.
But other than that, this looks totally ace!
G.2:
I really like it. Great find. I have this DREAM to build something similar out of expanded polystyrene, and maybe one day I will.
File off all that twiddly stuff and it could be a serious fortress for CDs (or WoC).I am off to find the defination of twiddly, but if I had to guess it means “girly crap stuff”.

…We looked at this piece for our campaign battles, but conclueded it was rather small for our purposes.Rather small?!? How big do you want a Castle to be?

Shakhorth:
Trust me, we wanted BIG. :D

The things I didn’t like about the MK-castle are:
- prices were high (about 25 euro/tower)
- it’s prepainted and doesn’t really have that much detail on it to just spray it and repaint it.
- you’ve got the twisty-knob-thing on top to mark the wounds (heroclick-style)
→ so, you’d have to convert it, carefull repaint it, and it was expensive to build an entire fort (though maybe prices on ebay are indeed ok these days).
nitroglysarine:
does it come prepainted?
Firehammer:
Yes, it does.
My favorite is this babylonean idol, the Atlantis Guild Tank, used a Chaos War Altar in my CD counting as Warriors of Chaos" army (10$ on amazon):
