I like that the buildings are slightly scaled down but sit perfectly with my 18mm figures. Could of course be used as a BUA under the rules which are far more difficult to storm. I have another such feature ready to paint, plus a church and windmill, but for now this will feature in my next DBN battle planned for Friday morning which will be a modest 12 pointer on a 2 x 2 board.
Portuguese cacadores (AB) are on the painting desk next, just a six figure base of rifle armed light infantry perfect for garrisoning a village where they would prove hard to dislodge. I should have them finished tomorrow so I can use them in Fridays game.
Alex has produced another excellent teaching video which explains exactly how a BUA works in the game, the first 10 minutes of the game below is very useful to those such as myself getting to grips with the rules around BUA's. It then follows with a blow by blow account of Plancenoit. I really like how you can fit an awful lot of battle into such a small space.
Your BUA looks fantastic, sounds like you are getting a lot of pleasure from this project.
ReplyDeleteI certainly am Norm, I am loving it! Perhaps should have entitled this post "Oranges the size of your head!"
DeleteGreat piece of kit Lee! I do like the Orange tree.
ReplyDeleteCheers Ray, I did not realise how big the oranges are until I looked at these pictures!
Deletelovely BUA, ideal scale for those with limited playing area, never knew Hallowen melons grew on trees :)), great painting job too, cheers Old John
ReplyDeleteCheers John, oranges the size of melons :)
DeleteYes, a very nice BUA and thanks for the info on the video, it is very helpful. I am really getting into DBN now and look forward to seeing how you get on.
ReplyDeleteAlex does explain things very well in his videos and helped me get to grips with the rules. Cheers Jim.
DeleteLovely buildings...and tree!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil :)
DeleteA very nice piece of terrain and very practicable with the removal of the fountain. Oranges are a clever touch.
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter. The Hovels buildings have such charm and are not so large that they take up too much space on a small table. Great online service from them too in these difficult times.
DeleteLovely looking built up area! Nice fruit tree detailing too!
