I’ma bit underwhelmed.
It’s nice enough, and you don’t have to paint it which is great but 2 smallish sections? I’d want to see a bit more for my money really.
I came third in a small tourney the other week and won some store credit, with it I bought the Large Corner Ruin. It’s the same Battlefield in a box line as this one Darrell is showing. It’s really really nice stuff, it feels very sturdy and the paint job on it is quite nice.

@poosh thanks for your enthusiastic endorsement. I get the impression they’re no going to fall over when you put a couple of metal models up on the top floor.
I wish we had had this review before the backstage offer the other day.
I’ll be to look out for them at Salute
I’m a big fan of the battlefield in a box range as well. I got the Tree of Woe and the swamps, and they are just fantastic. Tree of Woe is now a regular piece of scenery being used for fantasy battles at my club and the Lizardmen player is loving the swamps.
