Awesome! I've actually been considering an eventual terrain project where I would make the Keep at 1:120 scale (1" = 10') and run a siege.
I've also pondered B10's Sukiskyn for a similar project.
Looking forward to hearing more about how it goes.
Very cool! Like many, Keep on the Borderlands was my entry into D&D and I've got a lot of nostalgic fondness for it.
@Bighara: awesome idea. I would love to see a scale model of the keep!
I love the first-level adventurers being listed as "horde" elements.
We should play this out sometime.
Any time, but you'll have to provide the figures :)
@Sean Robson
At one point, I was trying to make on at 1:72 for RPGs with WorldWorks cardstock scenery. Needless to say the project was a tad overwhelming. NTM hard on the inkjet carts!
At 1:72 (28mm mini scale), the Keep measures ≈4.5' x 6' at 1:120, it's just over 2' wide and 3' long. I'll probably do a mix of Hirst blocks, Worldworks, and scratchbuilt (foam, balsa, and foamcore).
AFTER I get my 48 orcs done! ;-)
You might want to check out Delta's keep model - I think it's pretty close to the module, if I remember correctly.
BTW, if any of you are in possession of 15 or 25mm orcs that can be used as mounted figures, I'm looking for trades or to buy!
