The Gallows!

Well I saw these on eBay and just had to have them!!


They're the Old West Hang Em High Gallows from Battle Flag and they really are a joy to own.


Now I have a usual rule about always building my own terrain but I was so excited about this kit I "forgot" about it.

It's one of these new wood kits with punch out parts and it was pretty easy to buildand super easy to paint. The hardest parta actually was the noose.

I ended up realising that the secret was to make a full scale noose then just keep tightening it until the hopp was the right size. Making one to scale immediately was too fiddly.


 Look! The trapdoor opens and it has a cute little lever and everything!


There's not much more to say. We can only bask in the coolness. 


I'm still basking. 


Yep. Basking away...

      Thanks! I'm actually more looking forward to using it in a game of Necropolis - cause it's kind of scary looking.

      Hey, Thanks. Yeah, it's an eight foot warboard (4'x8') (gloats slightly). For years I had a 4'x4' one made from two boards. When we moved house my lovely wife was kind enough to "let me" have it.

      You can see how I did the war blanket that goes on top of it by reading my how to build a bridge tutorial.

    I am very impressed with your wargame scenery and terrain. I especially like your wargame terrain blanket and the way your miniatures bases merged with it. Could you please tell me how have you done them?
    Kind regards, Cesar.

    So, I'm checking my blog list, and see a new post about 3 Letters to Games Workshop. But it's not here anymore. What happened? I was VERY curious to read that post. Always love a good rant.

      Hey, I posted it on Warseer to such incredible scathing responses that I decided to take it down from here. You can read them there if you find them.
