Re: Counts Castle swaps?

It's not quite that bad - $46 unpainted/$64 painted gets you a dozen of the big straight Battlements. That's enough to do all the back & side walls for your Count's Castle, and I think the front wall still has enough going with the Gatehouse and oil pot crenellations, and already has a good roug...

Re: Counts Castle swaps?

I cannot speak definitively for Dwarven Forge definitively of course, but the answer is generally no for that sort of thing. The pledges are boxed up in China and shipped out the US facility still sealed. You could certainly buy a pack of Straight Battlements which would cover most of the Count's Ca...

Re: Analysis of Royal Citadel vs Expert Pledge alternative

Also worth noting - if you don't feel the need for big Battlements and already have KS3 Crenellations, you can drop that from the initial build and save 73 bucks. You'll still have enough of the little round cutout bits from the Straight Crenellation Assortment and the two Wall To Tower packs to cle...

Re: Analysis of Royal Citadel vs Expert Pledge alternative

Oh also - before anybody thinks they need to run number on a "total DIY" approach with the Gatetower + addons method, there's no need. Unlike some of the other lower pledge levels, both the Grand Citadel and the Watchtower pledges are already cheaper than building them via addons. If you'r...

Analysis of Royal Stronghold vs Expert Pledge alternative

Recent Edit: Corner wall add-on is not needed, reduces price by $64. There's been a bunch of discussion on the Comments thread about how a Royal Stronghold stacks up vs. buying the components starting with a Grand Citadel and Watchtowers, and then finishing it out with Addons either during the Kick...

Re: Question on tower quarter-wall attachment

Yeah, but you need to be able to take a section out of the middle corner of a tower to swap in a ruined wall when that catapult or sapper blows out a corner in the middle of a battle. :twisted:

I don't think that's a bean at this point.

Re: Question on tower quarter-wall attachment

Yes, even on the prototypes tower walls attach magnetically to each other on the ends of the arc. One side (clockwise end I think) has magnets, other end ("counterclockwise") of each has a small metal bit. So it's always Magnet-To-Metal and there's no polarity concerns. *I may have which e...

Re: Problem with Wall To Tower transition addon

I hoped that the Large Palace Tower add-on might work just to have window variety, I think those arches look better fi you're building a wizard tower. But there's no solid walls in there at all, so you'd have ground level open windows. :lol:

Re: Problem with Wall To Tower transition addon

Okay, coffee has had some time to do its thing. :D All this got started with me figuring out how to assemble a Royal Stronghold equivalent pledge over time, starting with Grand Citadel and 2 Watchtowers now to maximize stretch goals and adding the rest later as funds allow. I think it's reasonable t...

Re: Questions about breaking out the towers from the Royal Stronghold

Do you guys think it is possible to cannibalise the keep doo-dad on the back wall to close out the castle corners? It's not, right? :| Oh, absolutely possible to cannibalize that and break out 2 of the towers yes. That keep contains 4 standard beveled outer walls, to create 2 standard (non-cutout) ...
