Title: Anyone tried Timecast terrain?
Post by: pw on May 13, 2010, 01:59:16 PM
Hi, I'm currently looking about for some WM terrain and in the absence of Forgeworld's stuff I'm a little stuck. I've followed loads of links (lots from Pugwash's site and others from a thread on Warseer) but quite a bit of stuff either looks poor or the pictures don't really give a good sense of scale for WM.

My favourite buildings so far come from Total Battle Miniatures: http://www.totalbattleminiatures.com/ who's stuff looks great but which they tell me is likely too large (currently the closest they have is 15mm). The good news is that their 10mm stuff is scheduled to come out in Autum. The bad news is that I'm impatient.

The other stuff that's impressed me is from Timecast and I'm wondering if anyone has seen it 'in the flesh'? I'm thinking of their Napoleonic range which look like this:

They also do some nice looking walls/fences etc.

Any thoughts? Or other suggestions?

I have some 1/285th timecast, and I love their efforts to reproduce historically-significant buildings: I very much want to get their Grain Elevator, for example.

I haven't seen their 10mm or 15mm buildings, but I did find that architectural heritage 15mms worked fine for Warmaster scale -- I think the issue is ensuring the buildings are in scale with each other... it's not as important that they exactly match figure scale.

Very crisp buildings and nice flexible bases, I have the 6mm ones which are perfect against heroics and ros, and a fraction small against the baccus miniatures. They look ok against the warmaster 10 mm though.

Hi Munster, any chance of a picture of them side-by-side with some Warmaster figs?

Thats the 6mm blackpowder village on template. As you can see a little small, but probably the right foot print for a village

Thanks, that's great. They look very good indeed.  :)

They are very nice, and the fact that the buildings lift off the template makes placing units easy :)

Hi, I'm currently looking about for some WM terrain

Hello, i've just started with warmaster. My first post on here.  ;D
I've recently got two buildings from kallistra, i like them.


Here's a photo of it, not quite fully painted. I've put figures to give a sense of the scale.

Thanks for the pictures Calmacil, I've been looking at that castle for a while now and it's great to see it with some WM figures. Did you get any other pieces?

That's all i got. The big hexagonal tower is the keep. A friend of mine said he would build a 10mm scale castle for me, so i'll use that.

I'd like to try a siege battle for a change of pace. The warmaster medieval siege rules look good.

I also bought the round towers of Callistra. They fit perfectly.

End of may, beginning of june a new Warmuster-Edition will come out. Subject will be Siege. Maybe that's of interest.

Greetings,
Gerald

Sorry to bump this thread back up. But i'm guessing the 10mm terrain should be out soon? unless there have been delays  :)
