Warhammer buildings will be released (in the UK) on the 26th May
The Warhammer buildings which I mentioned in a previous posting will be released (in the UK) on the 26th of May as a whole box set costing £75.
The first release for the new Warhammer Scenery, this set gives you a fantastic amount of scenery ot use in your games of Warhammer. This set contains the following items: 1 Fortified Manor, 1 Watchtower, 1 Chapel and 3 sets of Walls and fences. Not only does this save you £27 off buying the items individually, you also get the Watchtower and Chapel over a month before those items are released by themselves!!!
I do like these buildings and I am very tempted.
Warhammer Fantasy Plastic Buildings
These are the upcoming new Warhammer Fantasy Buildings which Games Workshop will be releasing at some point in the future. There seem to be three buildings and there will also be a release of other terrain such as hills, fences and graveyards.
This is a boxed set looking like it contains both buildings, lots of other scenery and even the hills.
These are the other two buildings, which will be available as separate boxed sets.
I do quite like these, they don’t really fit in with my Steve Barber models, but they are nice.

Bretonnian Trebuchet
This Bretonnian Trebuchet from the talented hands of Martin Footitt was a Golden Demon Open Category Winner.
Of course I was taking photographs before the winners announce, and over the weekend I got my (UK edition of) White Dwarf which came with the free Golden Demon winners booklet. This was nice not only because they didn’t try and sell it like they did last year in WHSmith… but also I found many of the miniatures I had seen and liked enough to photograph had in fact been winners.
Lizardman Dinosaur
Okay I am on a train without web access so I can’t check for sure all the details, but this is a fantastic Lizardman conversion that was used for the Lustria campaign.
There are details in the current UK White Dwarf which has more details, but I also don’t have that to hand either!
I do like this model, and was disappointed to find out that it wasn’t available (not even from Forgeworld) and was a conversion – and I don’t even really play Warhammer Fantasy Battle.
It strikes me as a perfect model for Forgeworld, but they don’t seem to make many models for Warhammer Fantasy Battle.
Where for example are the Forgeworld Imperial Steam Tanks? Why can’t we see some Ork Wyvern variants? What would you like to see Forgeworld make for Warhammer?
True we do have dragons and yes there are the Ogre cavalry, but it all seems such a small range compared to the stuff they do for Warhammer 40K.
I guess it boils down to sales. Are Warhammer players not buying “big” things because they don’t want them, or are they more competitive and don’t buy them unless they can use them in a competition?

Fantastic fantasy scenery from the talented hands of Dave Andrews…
In the most recent UK White Dwarf, issue 325, January 2007, was a battle report.
Battle Report: March of the Damned: We take two of Warhammer game’s toughest characters and pitch them headlong into mortal combat with one another. Will the evil of Manfred Von Carstein win out, or will the nobility of Kurt Helborg take the day?
This battle report featured three superb fantasy buildings, alas though they were shown in a few photographs, they were quite difficult to see. It was promised that more would be seen in the next issue of White Dwarf.
I was lucky to take photographs of all three buildings at GamesDay 2006. So here they are a month before White Dwarf.
I have posted two of the buildings before on the blog.
The buildings are from the talented hands of Dave Andrews and include this observatory.

A wonderful boat building combination.
Also a building with some wierd undead type thing on the roof.
They are really well done and very Warhammer’ish.
Pity that we won’t see Forgeworld versions!
