I wonder if they'll come out with a box set at some discount a la the Rohan Stronghold?

I'm really looking forward to them, but my wallet is apprehensive.

Another article, showing what you can do with the new kit:
https://www.warhammer-community.com/202 ... ttle-game/

It looks like you could do some really great buildings if you can put several kits together (and if you can afford it!) ... I like the bridge and the staircases.

I'd like to see them draw up some more instruction guides for how to make alternative buildings ... maybe they could post them online in the webstore, or even sell PDFs for a small fee ... they could say "if you buy 2/3/4 kits we guarantee you can make x, y, z buildings and here are the instructions."

I agree about wishing for alternative building plans, particularly if they were restricted to what you can do with the parts from 1 (or 2, or 3, or ...) boxes, as opposed to an infinite supply.

I think GW is missing a trick here. But I'm looking forward to the kits anyway!

I was not super on board with this set of kits, but seeing the roof tiles has changed by mind. They make for a very impressive inclusion. Having from proper houses of that sort rather than just ruins is very tempting.

Well, not as expensive as I thought they would be, but still...

I think my biggest problem is where to store it vs wanting and building them.

And the cost of getting an airbrush to paint them.

Ray Dranfield the designer confirmed on twitter that the walls on the manor and the ruins can interlock also, so more kitbashing available.

Turns out GW is offering a Gondor Stronghold deal ... for exactly the same price as the individual parts cost. :roll:

Added: And when I went to order, GW is limiting orders (in the US, anyway) to one each of the towers and mansions. :roll: again

Warhammer - buy multiple, see what you can do.

GW - sorry one only

Yes, looks like you can only buy one copy of the mansion on the UK store at a time, and the tower has sold out.

Meanwhile, the next Made-to-Order opens 8 April and runs until 16 April. Includes trolls, witch king on fellbeast, metal orcs:
