Warmill Gatehouse terrain

Warmill is a new firm making terrain pieces for gaming. They call it BATTLESNAP, because you do not need any glue. Made in lasercut 3mm mdf board. Now so far it all sounds pretty and nice.... Well...

There it is, all in its glory. Just press it out and assemble. Instructions are included as you can see in the picture.

This broke....Then that broke...And my patience snapped as well!! As you try to get it out of your frame, you will notice that a lot of places it seems the laser have not cut deep enough. It does not simply "click" out. However heed my advice; turn the frame around and use a sharp modelling knife and score along it. That will help A LOT!!

Next picture... As you assemble it, some of it will have a reeeaaally tight fit. And break! This is where I came with some select words not suitable for...well anyone!  Again...Heed my advice; Either use a blade and make the holes/fittings a bit larger or do as I did, a powertool! Then it all was a walk in the park!

My weapon of choice! I really should have used another surface. Damn! But that is my own fault!!

Front and back with miniatures to get an idea of scale. I think it will see some action tomorrow.


Verdict; Besides the small problems I had, I now know how to counter them. And for 12 British pounds this seems okay. I am likely to make another purchase at Warmill. Usable for games in 28 mm.

It needs some paint, and a spot of glue here and there. I will not take it apart again!!! But for now it is quite useable. I like their ideas about this, but being able to disassemble it from game to game.... No... Not recommended by me at this time. Click on the pictures to enlarge the picture.

I think I may have to expand this terrain piece. Wall sections, heavy gun towers....
