Landmark Normandy Buildings






A while back, I determined to buy some pre-painted 15mm buildings for WW2. I had dithered back and forth for, really, years on exactly what I wanted to do for 15mm Napoleonics, and I thought this was a good opportunity to solve that problem as well. I had debated going with smaller scale figures to better match the groundscale of Field of Battle. Seriously painting up Flames of War figures kind of sinched it for me-- I'd go 15mm.

My first thought was that this was a chance to buy some of those really nice Crescent Root Studios buildings, only to find that they have been on an extended hiatus. I then bought some MBA buildings, having been pleased by some of their 25mm buildings. However, the 15mm just weren't satisfactory to me-- the two parts of the buildings flared out a bit and didn't sit well. So, I took a chance and looked at Landmark.

Well, really I was looking at Timecast, because I knew they had some high quality buildings. They had bought the Landmark line, which I took as a strong sign. The idea that they were all real buildings was appealing, and they seemed to have a positive rep on the net. I bought a pretty big set of them to get a discount, and am really pleased! I also have LNO 17 High Walls, which I forgot to photograph. I wasn't as crazy over them, they're just the wall, with nothing to sit on. But, now I've got a nice terrain mat, nice buildings...I've got to get the rest of my terrain up to snuff!

  1. I've seen this set as well and they are definitely very nice. I have a few of the MBA buildings as well. Before he moved off to Cali, Scott and I combined all of our buildings to do a really nice size French village for Normandy FOW game (http://bcantwell.wordpress.com/2008/11/30/the-bridge-at-conteville/)

    These should also work for Belgian buildings for the France 40 project

  3. [...] Terrain, terrain, terrain. I made a decent start with my purchase of Landmark buildings, but my trees are weak and need to be cleaned up and expanded, and I really want to do some decent [...]
