[QUOTE="Iron_Chef, post: 3154991, member: 4530"] Hasbro finally released the $25 Heroscape wall and tower (castle) set in October. I just picked up one set at Toys "R" Us yesterday to check it out and threw together this small keep (I ran out of battlements which you can see if you look closely and the set came with 50 of the little buggers!). You really need two or more sets to construct a proper castle, IMO. Note that the battlements not only connect to the walls but can connect to ANY ground terrain tile (except water) to create a palisade. Very versatile. The ladders are uniquely constructed so that any figure with a slot or round base (such as D&D Minis, Star Wars minis, Citadel/Warhammer) can "plug" into any rung and stay suspended in mid-air at any point on the ladder! Nice touch. The fully movable castle door is removable and comes with a wooden bar that can lock into place. The pieces all snap securely into place and if you've built it right, you can pick up the castle and carry it around the house with no problem (not so with the ground tiles underneath it). The pieces are all extremely sturdy. Color me impressed! ;) The pictured setup below includes almost all of one [I]Fortess of the Archkyrie[/I] set (walls, towers, ladders, battlements, flag) and bits of four [I]Road to the Forgotten Forest[/I] sets (low walls, bridge, trees and road tiles). The only reason I needed four sets was each set only comes with two low walls (aka guard rails for the bridge). The minis are mostly Reaper and Ral Partha. The skull fountains ($12 for the pair)and tombstone are by Grendel Resin from Scotland.
