Building a Pele tower part 1
Years ago I built my version of a Pele tower, that iconic fortress type of Border region northern England and Scotland. However, when I visited real ones in the UK it was clear it didn’t look a bit like it. So I knew it had to be done again and better this time.

And what do you know? The coming of The Baron’s War ruleset provided the right incentive.
Having learned a lot about working with styropor in the past years I chose that material. The first box-like shape looked like this based on pictures and drawings I found on the web.

I undercut the steps of the stairs si the base edges would fit underneath them, enabling the figures to be positioned on the stairs. |

I cut out the floors with a little hotwire jacksaw. The jigsaw pattern will make them fit snugly into each other. |

The internal winding stairs. They are not really accessible for the miniatures but too nice a detail to leave out! |

Review: Horus Ascended
Here on Tale of Painters, we celebrate the ascension of Horus with a review of the new Primarch model from Forge World.

In this unboxing, we find out whether Horus has been given a successful new update.
