Dînadan:

Just found out that the plastic castle kit has been put out to pasture:

There’s a list of other non scenery stuff published today going extinct soon from the Empire and WoC ranges , things like Marauders and Chaos Warriors etc , don’t have the link to hand but its over on Warseer

Abecedar:

Typical GW procedure. I have no idea why they do it.

They did it with dreadfleet and I would have bought one when I’d saved up enough

Dînadan:

I expect we’ll get a new one to tie in with AoS, but this one will have skulls for the crenels and the gatehouse itself will be a giant skull. Oh, and each wall section will have a dozen regular skulls dotted around in place of bricks. And one section will have a big chunk missing from the outer layer of bricks revealing it’s crammed full of skulls. And it’ll cost £200 and will get pulled without warning 11 months down the line.

Doombeard:

I’d be a bit worried about using that in games - the info below says its ceramic; one accidental knock/drop and it could shatter if it falls far enough.

Zuh-Khinie:

You forgot that all skull-shaped doors and gates will have skulls instead of handles…

DAGabriel:

…and they are decorated with skulls!

I'd chuck it on a base with some nice stuff around it , bit of mdf or ply. You seen his castles? so badass!

Doombeard
Still doesn't help with the accidentally dropping part as you're setting up.

Doombeard:

True! Fragile stuff! Shame he makes it that way!

I reckon he’s available for commission work. Imagine getting him to make a ziggurat or something, would be great!
