More Dark Age Buildings

I had my order come in from The BaggageTrain late last week.
I picked up three different items; their "Saxon port with riverbank" (more on that in another post) as well as some of their "Sub Roman houses" and "Sub Roman Great Hall".

Here is a pic comparing the round Celtic Hut from Timecast, a hut from the Irregular Miniatures Maori Pa scenic pack, and the Sub Roman House from Baggage Train.  I have put the Irregular and Baggage train models on a stack of card to bring the level up to roughly the same as the thick base on the Timecast hut, and included my Romano British Leader for scale reference. Click the image for a closer look.

The Irregular item is smaller, but not unusably so in my book (or perhaps the other two are too big?...)
Here is the Baggage Train Great Hall vs. the same Leader.  It is a monster that will be the centrepiece of a large Village or Hill Fort.

We now return you to more WW2 miniatures...

Timecast Celtic Village

We briefly interrupt this WW2 interlude with further Dark Age shenanigans.
A couple of days ago I received a shipment from Timecast that included two of their Celtic Villages from Range 25.
The Village consists of 4 size huts and a small granary.
Below you can see my Romano British Elites, lead by their lord, sallying forth to meet the Saxon hordes.
I'm planning on mounting one village on a CD as per the above picture, and the other village will be mixed with some other buildings from Irregular and Baggage Train to form a larger village.

Timecast have some lovely painted pics (that I will be attempting to copy with my models) available here.

We now return you to your scheduled programming...
