French Warmaster Forum Castle Tutorial

[stevothedivo]

Hey fellow SG aficionados
hope this message finds you all well and you've plans for rolling some dice on the weekend - I do (and that always makes Friday an easier day to endure)
Don't know how kosher it is to post someone else's forum/blog but we've started a Warmaster Downunder FB group. A surprising number of people NOT from downunder (ie Austraila/New Zealand) have requested membership and as admin/mod/factotum monkey I welcomed them to the group.
One fine fellow in particular linked to a French Warmaster forum where they have a wonderful tutorial on castle building - the conversation beginning with my enquiring if the amazing castle in his photobucket batrep was the FW one and his replying it was homemade - he then linked the actual tutorial which, if you don't read/speak French, I suggest you peruse at your leisure using Chrome for instant translation.
Definitely something I'll be trying out next year after I get all my BattleTech ducks in a row (current addiction, recycling my boxes upon boxes of Epic gear for BattleTech as with six Epic armies I'm sort of over it for the time being...)

The FB group is here - https://www.facebook.com/groups/WarmasterOZ/
The tutorial site is here - http://warmaster-fr.niceboard.com/t1276-vincent-fortifications

Hope it gives someone some inspiration - I was a lazy c*** and went the Russian-made easy assembly CastleCraft kits for my Warmaster keep a few years ago as they double up for 1/72 WAB (huge castle in 10mm, relatively low keep walls in 1/72...I try to build terrain once and use in several systems/scales - which is why my Epic terrain is rather reminiscent of Stalingrad - I just call it Armageddon Prime!)

Arrivederci a presto

That's pretty cool, thanks for sharing. I'm have to translate this and try making my own I think.

On the same page as you - Google Chrome does the translation for you, and it certainly doesn't look too hard at all - first tries will always be hit and miss but a castle is a castle after all - useful for fantasy as well as ancients, and in some settings even near future sci-fi.
Always a worthwhile investment building one!

Hi,

I'm the one who created this castle and tutorial. I'm glad you like it
I did an English version here already loooong time ago

Enjoy!

Fantastic, Vincent!
Glad you didn't take offence my re-posting your work - was a little worried about that yet it was too good a resource not to share.
Look forward to people posting their experiences with your method, as mentioned I'm fully committed to BattleTech outside of a Warmaster tournament I'm aiding in running in October but once my BT forces are up to scratch I'll be giving this a red hot go as the results for the effort involved certainly look the business!
Tres bien, merci!
