The Ruins Of Davenheim (Courtesy Of Amera Plastic Mouldings)

As Davenheim has been the site of many battles, it should come as no surprise that there are ruins here and there. These two pieces come courtesy of Amera Plastic Mouldings and were astonishingly good value for money, particularly considering their size. On the left is the F209 ruined building and on the right is the F201 castle ruins - the watchtower is for size comparison.


These white polystyrene mouldings are pretty robust and take paint and other decorations very easily. The detail is rather slight as you might expect from the medium, but that seems to be easily overcome with a thorough paint job. I'm about 40% done with these at the moment and it's taken a couple of hours to get the basic shading and texture on there. Once these are done I'm going to put in an order for the river sections as I've always wanted a waterway on the tabletop.

  1. Looking good - I'm a big fan of Amera but haven't got those two pieces... yet - good to see them in the flesh.

    Their hills are very good too and the ruined temples are great for my Lustrian project.

    1. I thought I'd take a punt and my expectations were low at the outset, but I'm genuinely impressed with these. Characterful and inexpensive - a rarity in war gaming!
