Warcradle Scenics Craft A New Castle Set For Sieges
May 31, 2021 by brennon
Warcradle Scenics has been working away on another set of terrain for those venturing into the domain of Gloomburg. Two new sets of 28mm terrain and accessories are available to pre-order right now starting with the Gloomburg Castle Set.
Gloomburg Castle Set // Warcradle Scenics
The MDF Castle Set comes with everything you need to build yourself a Fantasy Castle that would also work for Historical games too if you were so inclined. It breaks down into the four Corner Towers, four Removable/Optional Tower Roof sections, nine Wall Sections, a Portcullis Gate, Barbican and Gatehouse With Stairs.
These various elements are all playable with plenty of space on the walls for you to set up a skirmish or two. It looks like it would be pretty nifty for skirmish games or all-out mass battle wargames.
When it comes to those larger games, the Siege Engines & Scatter set might work pretty well.

This set has been designed so you can set up the remains of a battlefield or a battlefield in action. Hand over the Siege Tower, Battering Ram and Catapult to your troops and let them loose on your foes crowding the walls of the castle.
The set also comes with some additional Castle Stairs for you to place inside the walls, ladders and the Mantlet Shields which are handy for your archers. Both sets are distinctly Medieval and might be a good fit for those playing the likes of The Barons' War, waiting for something impressive to skirmish over.
Depending on how you approached finishing off the terrain it could work in something Pulpy too. I imagine a vampire or two could call a place like this home.
What do you make of these two new Gloomburg sets?

This look and feel reminds me so much of the toy castles of the 80’s with the “large” mounted knight figures… I love it XD
I love tabletop castles!
The website is confusing.
“The Gloomburg range of 28mm scenery is ideal for all kinds of fantasy wargames and will allow you to create great play areas for your armies to battle in.”
“SCALE: 35mm”
Which is it?
A nice looking castle but I think the builders goofed the arrow slot should be under the Windows.
Good spot, I wonder if the windows are optional, they look stuck on?
