About this model
A defensive wall of upright logs, sharpened and set side by side, weathered to a pale grey brown. Each section is about 5 ft wide, 1 ft thick and 8.5 ft tall, well over a person's head. A breach in one section, shown by simply leaving a gap, gives attackers a target and defenders a reason to rush.
Chain sections together for frontier forts, goblin camps, logging stockades and fortified villages. A palisade blocks movement and sight, so the gate becomes the obvious point of attack, and climbing over is a dramatic option. Raised walkways behind it, built from other pieces, let defenders shoot down at anyone approaching.
Ideas for the table
- Orcs batter at the gate of a frontier stockade while the party organises farmers on the walkway.
- A hobgoblin war camp is ringed by a fresh palisade with one section left unfinished.
- The party must climb a log wall at night without waking the hounds kennelled on the other side.
