Then make three times that. It should be enough for half the roof Glue

I've researched those before and, although they're super cheap, I'd pass.  The walls are pretty low for 28mm, I did find a guy who had cobbled together two sets and made the walls double-high.  They looked pretty good.  I found that the towers looked a little narrow too, like only one or two models could fit in there.

I just ordered two of these after seeing them on a BlueTable YouTube video.  They look awesome:

Really? Haven't seen the video but to me they seem very expensive for a single tower with not that much unique detail. I also noticed the tower nr. 2. "Now you can get tower nr. 1 and half of another one of those but we'll still charge you about double of tower 1 though!".

I think it looks very nice and realistic. Dunno what kind of unique detail one needs on a tower. It's not that cheap but #2 isn't #1, it's noticeably higher in addition to the annex.

That second tower, with the smaller annex to it . . . Not sure how to best play it in a battle.  You could either simply allow the entire castle to function as one, with more available defenders and more available assailants.  Or you could treat the main tower as the main castle, and the smaller part as something that can be assailed separately (fewer models attacking, fewer defending), which, if taken, can then join in on the assault against the main tower.

I'm also looking at ways to creatively incorporate both towers . . . maybe with a "bridge" between them, forming the only place at which one army can ford a river and join the battle taking place on the other side of the table.

Any other cool ideas?
