Bit out of my hobby budget though Mine too RE: Weathertop - Agincourt - 17-02-2017 Designer’s note The Weathertop scenery piece has been faithfully designed using original film set plans, and as such you’ll need to bear in mind that while the pillars are just the right size for a Nazgûl to pass between, things are a little snug with a Citadel base attached! In your games, assume that models can pass between the pillars around the edge as long as the gap would actually fit the creature or character in question (so bigger Trolls probably can’t get through). So, "...as such you will need to bear in mind..." that basically it is not fit for purpose and a design fail for wargaming. From a gaming perspective you need terrain that 'works' i.e. steps that are wide enough for figure bases to stand on, archways and gaps wide enough to stand in / move through (or by design not be able to) - battlement tops that you can stand a figure on, whether it is difficult terrain or not (make it figure friendly). Why would you want that staircase between two high walls that you would need gynecological instruments to move any figures in!? The actual playing area is small and not very accessible for gameplay. I am sure Stu could make something that looks at least as good. And ensure it 'worked'... |
