Afternoon everyone 🙂 I've added a new ruined tower to the fantasy buildings catalogue.

Perfect for scenario plot points or objectives. Comes with a separate top floor, wooden flooring and three rubble piles.

The ruined tower in scenic setting. Evergreen trees in the background with a small clan of Skaven in the foreground trying to oust an elven wizard from the tower (which is in the mid ground). The tower with a white background. It’s painted in a warm grey for the brick and a warm tan for the interior with a checkerboard pattern on the floor with subtle weathering. The rubble piles can be seen either side and on the tower floor. A Skaven warlock on the right is pointing at the elvish wizard on the left as if to say ‘If I’ve told you once, I’ve told you a thousand times, this tower is ours!’. The Skaven on the top floor is brandishing his blunderbuss as if in agreement (although he could just be generally excitable). The parts of the tower on a white background. From left to right; The upper floor, a rubble pile, another rubble pile, the tower main body, yet another rubble pile and the timber upper floor plate. The elvish wizard is standing amongst the parts wondering what the hell happened.

It’s the last Friday before Christmas (I know, right?).

So this week the theme is…red.

So let’s see red stuff.

As usual I’ll reskeet the lot and if you like something, share it!

There’s a modular log fort and if it proves popular then there are a fe other things I'll add to it.

Can also be used for renaissance, FIW, pirate stockades... Indeed, there are lots of uses 👍

An overhead view of the fort from the front. There’s a gate in the middle of the front wall with a tower on either side. It’s square and there is an Empire hero in the left tower wondering where his garrison has gone. A low down scenic shot of the fort about to be attacked by orcs. There’s a blue/grey backdrop and trees on both sides. The Empire hero is glad his garrison came back as he does t think he’d be able to hold off the orcs on his own. A low down view of the front of the fort whilst it’s being attacked by orcs. A couple of ladders have been placed up against the walls in the vein hope the orcs can actually climb them without arguing with each other. Another scenic view of the fort protecting a small river ford. Blue/grey backdrop again with verdant grasslands on either side of the river.

A cluttered view of my Nevarro gaming board. Lots of grey buildings on a grey tabletop. There is an imperial banner flying proudly over the city gateway. There’s a white shuttle in the background and lots of gubbins dotted everywhere.

An overhead view of my Victorian riverside set up. The Thames is at the bottom looking very silty, there’s a tug docked against the side with a large warehouse behind it. In the right is a boats workshop that has a surrounding wall. On the left is a Fairburn crane on a stone plinth and behind that is another warehouse. There are a few bits of scatter placed here and there but the photo was taken before the game started so there’s no figures.
