Well most people could sculpture it on their own, but its so tires some, and takes so much effort and time
Otherwise very nice indeed.

| Post subject: | Ruins of Osgilliath |
I know this was announced a few days ago, but since I didn't see any threads dedicated to it, I thought I'd bring it up. I really like the new ruins of Osgilliath: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat1150079&prodId=prod700002a They look thicker than the other ruins and seem to have a bit more variety. I particularly like the stairs. Plastic scenery like this is a great addition to the game and I hope they come out with more and more stuff like this. |

Yep, I've preordered 2 boxes and am thinking it would be a good challenge to build my own to fit in. I wish GW did more terrain stuff. |

I may actually create an Osgiliath Board and use this scenery for it!!

I love the new ruins and intend on purchasing one eventually. Not really sure about the need for a new thread to discuss them though, they've been talked of quite a bit in the other threads....

Well,I play rohan,and easterlings. so it does'nt really have too much of a need for my board. I do intend to buy at least one though. perhaps i can use the dimensions of it to make a rohan themed one. kind of like a big longhouse that was destroyed or something
still this thing is a big improvement over the other terrain kit that is being offered. |

it's quite funny, but the walls are 0,1" thick, i prefer half inch walls. and the box contains only very little ruins. if u wanna buy something, then buy some hirst arts malds. i prefer foam to build! |

They should probably do some towers to go with these ruins. It would be nice to do a whole board of them, but without some nice towers... |

They do look very nice, thick walls (compared to the original ones) and look to build quite a nice size, maybe 10" x 10"? Not a bad price either! |

Rohan used to be the northern province of Gondor. We don't see it in the movies, but I bet there's a few old Gondor/Numenor era ruins here and there in the Land of the Horselords. Furthermore, Gondor's empire once stretched to the Carnen River (which leads to the Sea of Rhun) so I bet you could find Gondorian looking ruins from the entire swathe of your gaming area - across Rohan, on either side of the Anduin, through the Brown Lands and up into the plains adjacent to the East Bight of Mirkwood. I can imagine Easterling towns founded on the ruins of a Gondorian fort, with a few old skeletal walls beyond the new town palisade. So yeah, I think you can use them
(Though I'd love a longhouse too!) |

Isengard was a Numenorian fortress. I believe Helm's Deep was as well. |

I thought Orthank was made by the elves and was all but invincible which is why it wasn't wrecked when the ents came. |

no spuds4ever orthanc was made by the numenoreans, i believe aragorn or gandalf of someone like that said it in the lotr books, anyway, the tower itself is made by some sort of tough rock.. plus i don't think elves would find that tower very beutiful, hehehe... feanorthenoldor |

the new ruins do look like some very nice scenery. i also agree with Blue Dragon I think that some tower would go very nice with this |

It's been a while since I read the books.:/ Rueben I think it was carved out of a single rock. The walls around the lowest layer of Minas Tirith were made the same way. |

Must have been big rock! 
Anyway back on topic, these ruins are quite simply stunning! I will have to buy some at some point, they look very good quality aswell. |
