@spaceaids 5 месяцев назад

Those green floor tiles will never not be pretty. I think we need to get you a proper wee catapult and some marbles or ball bearings and have a full siege. Or just load the catapult up with dreamies and watch Willow launch herself at it like a giant kitty monster :D

@mikemoans9350 5 месяцев назад

Great idea

@JCHarris-iu6my 2 месяца назад

marbles for bombarding the castle and perhaps some elastics( or rubber bands if you are a Yank which could simulate the effects of Archers using their long bows

@timrose389 5 месяцев назад

One thing I've found helpful to keep the clips from falling out is just a tiny bit of masking tape over them...makes those floors a lot more stable. 😁

oh i love that, not this video is done im going to take it apart shave the troublesome pegs and get it all in alignment. I just hope we do see upgrade kits one day

That was awesome, Mike. Loved seeing it all come together. Would love to see more videos like this from you in the future as well. How much paint did you go through for this? Did you use 'the good stuff' (as in, mini paints) or did you use more "craft-size" acrylic paint tubes?

@rpgchronicler 5 месяцев назад

I was honestly concerned with suggesting to use something like a slingshot or those toy catapults considering it is going to be used for dnd and not crossbows and catapults and while im sorta disappointed you didnt fling the cheapo minis from the advent calendar, considering how some parts of the stronghold arent snugly fit during the recording i dont mind the cat toy. Still wonderful vid. My question if any would be if anyone made conversion clips or something to allow connecting different series of tiles/buildings between dungeons & lasers and something like dwarven forge or fat dragon's dragonlock tile system?

@wallace8996 Месяц назад

Very nice to see, thanks for making this video. Does anyone know if this castle can be used for the game Conquest the last argument of kings which uses 38mm miniatures?

@mikemoans9350 Месяц назад

thank you kindly so i dont know the game personally but the individual squares hold a 30mm round base well the smallest tile being 2x2 30mm squares with some excess. I assume the base for the 2x2 tray could fit but it would be tight. There is nothing stopping you for using the modular nature of the tiles to do bigger rooms but hosting individual floors at a time or laying it more 2d than intended. I will forward this question to my discord and try to get back to your with an answer

@wallace8996 Месяц назад

@@mikemoans9350 Wow thats great to hear i hope you will get some replies :) So if i understand you correctly is it possible to make the tower floors bigger? Oh and you got yourself a subscriber🤗

@@wallace8996if you have a look at my tavern video it’s the same system but you can build these any which way. Thank you friend

@starcrafter13terran 5 месяцев назад

So, could you put the tavern as the top 1-2 floors? Just wondering if it lines up well.

@mikemoans9350 5 месяцев назад

Well as all parts are a standard measurements I’d assume you can. We will be tackling the tavern potentially late next week so watch the stream/this space

@Foxie_83 5 месяцев назад

While you have a standard build, near the end you did say you had extra parts... Would deviating from the original build be possible and if so what would you advice to add?

@mikemoans9350 5 месяцев назад

with most being archways it would be just more doors but with one royal castle pack add on or any room set you could do a lot

@willemverheij3412 3 месяца назад

I'm pretty happy with mine, put it all together but the stairs going into the building might have a mistake in mine, there where no pegs to connect the parts. Is that meant to be glued together? The stairs are honestly my main criticism because you can't attach them to anything so they will easily topple over.

@mikemoans9350 3 месяца назад

Yeah the stairs are an odd one but they were made in the very early d&l days. The cubic stairs are clever though when you assemble them they have magnet holes on the inside Incase you wanted to magnetise them. This also matches a hole in the underside of the tile and the holes In many of the walls too.

@willemverheij3412 3 месяца назад

@@mikemoans9350Fair enough, I might have to look for some magnets then. This is my first terrain set, I got it at a big discount on black Friday so it's all still a bit new to me. I love the versatility though, so many things can be build with this set and it being the only one with battlements makes it pretty great to build a wall too. Main thing I wish for is like a bigger door. Could be neat if they release a gate house set sometimes with maybe a portcullis and two story high doorway with doors that can open. A drawbridge would be cool too.

@mikemoans9350 3 месяца назад

@@mikemoans9350I haven't seen the gate, did skim over the kickstarter. My plan is to wait until next black Friday and see what they have in store by then and on sale. Gives me plenty of time to try out the terrain in a few D&D sessions and get a better idea of what I might want to add to this. I'm not running any campaign yet, only one shots here and there.
