[Archives] Warhammer Fortress

Painted Version

I remember looking at the Warhammer fortress 20 years ago, thinking how great it would be as a centerpiece for a fantasy game setting. Now, the castle looks rather simple compare to what is available today. I still like the castle for its modularity and that I can used it for both miniature war games and role playing games. The fortress is part of a project to create an adventure site that includes a town with at least 20 buildings.

Notes: The modular Warhammer Fortress can be set up in many different configurations. It can be made into one very long wall, half a castle, or even a small fully enclosed fortress. The gate can be opened and closed and there are 4 door accessories to represent additional entryways to the the towers. The paint scheme for the terrain pieces I worked on in 2010-2011 are very simple, but effective in my opinion. At the moment, the terrain pieces are not sealed with any varnish. The original binder notes for the work done to the Warhammer Fortress is on page 28.
