Thanks, again!

I've designed a possible gateway.








The emblems can be changed. A horse for Helm's Deep may be more appropriate but those Numenoreans or Gondor guys may have left their mark.

So far, the tower and the wall sections have been designed to accommodate two bases each. The gateway can accommodate two bases as well. One base at the battlements above the gate and another in the room below where boiling oil and hot sand can be thrown down on any attackers (there is an available gap in the floor). It's possible that I may lower the floor of this room significantly so that a troop base can actually be placed in the room (from the rear).

Cheers, Michael

The look fantastic.

I had been vaguely thinking about scratch building some castle walls, but these look a lot better and an easier option.

How long are the basic wall sections going to be? You have mentioned 2 bases, but not sure if this is in relation to  all sections are just these. Being able to fit 3 x 40mm bases on a wall section may be good?

The basic wall section is 82mm wide, same as the gateway section. 





Designed to accommodate two 40 x 20mm bases (see the pic in the OP). I can see the practicality of a wall section that can accommodate a full Warmaster infantry unit - and I can design one to suit. However, if you have a run of walls and towers an option would be to have one base in a tower and two on a wall. Basically, a tower is not a soft spot for attackers to attack and a very good place for defenders to add supporting fire to comrades on a wall beneath them. However, I'd put a big question mark over allowing field-strength units the ability to retain their unit cohesion and not forcing them to form detachments while fighting in a castle or any other built-up area.

Bases you can fit on the models:

Wall section: 2 40 x 20mm bases alongside one another

Full Tower: 2 40 x 20mm bases one behind the other

Gateway section: 1 40 x 20mm base on top and (if it can be redesigned) another inside the model

Half Tower: 1 25mm wide marker or command base

Here's the redesigned gateway.

The gateway can accommodate two 40 x 20mm bases. One base at the battlements above the gate and another in the room below where boiling oil and hot sand can be thrown down on any attackers (there is an available gap in the floor).

The model's not designed to have a lift off roof as there's enough access already. However, I left the top off for the photo shoot, and it might help when painting the model before finale gluing.

Three kits - the wall section, the gateway, and the tower - are enough to put together a castle. Shall I properly finish these three kits and make them available first before completing the other Helm's Deep sections?

Cheers, Michael

Marvolous Michael

I would suggest getting these available and then adding the other Helm's Deep section.

Unfortunately not my thing but more & more tempting ;)

I love them all, I do prefer the wider chunkier crenellations, if you made the gondorian motief optional it would work for lots of different games. Love them thanks for sharing
