Hi,

another fine terrain company that deserves attention: Tabletop World: http://www.tabletop-world.com/
It's two folks from Croatia. They started with a tower, one guy cutting scale stones from ... stone, the other one building a tower from this and made a resin cast, because only stone looks like stone. Sadly, most of the old stuff isn't for sale anymore, as they just bought a new casting machine making the old moulds useless. But today they released a variant of said first tower, and I am sure more of the old stuff will be resurrected. Be aware that these buildings are truescale, so don't mix well with models of symbolic/reduced size. And they are not cheap, but have full interior.

http://www.tabletop-world.com/guardTower.php (height w/o hill 43cm, 113 €, add 20€ for hill)

As an example what you might have missed (not available currently):

Their answer from July:

Unfortunately, most of our older buildings had to go. We acquired new vacuum casting mashine and our casting technique has changed, making our old molds useless.

Their prospect:

Our next project is under way and it goes by the working name "town house". It will be medium size highly detailed exterior/interior fantasy looking building. Hope you'll ike it!

It won second place in the 2009 TGN Editor's choice awards in the category Best Terrain or Accessory.

Let's hope some of the old moulds are redone, as they still have the masters.

Some answers by Tabletop World, esp. on the question about a rerelease of the old models:

Next building will be in the spirit of old Merchant's House. Similar in size and based on this model. We haven't decided yet if it will go under the same name.
We are planing to recreate some of the stuff, just like we did with the guard tower. Of course, the old models are just a starting point from which we want to develop new and more complex buildings.
The old molds are not efficient enough. It takes too much time to cast a model with our old molds. They are not paying out as much as they should.
(...) A world-wide distribution is our next goal (currently we are in the process of designing art for our boxes intended for stores).

**Kroothawk**

Tomorrow, Tabletop terrain will release their second kit after the restructuring of their model range.
It's the announced new version of the merchant house (old OOP version can be seen here http://www.tabletop-world.com/oldMerchantsHouse.html ):

More info including pics and price tomorrow on their website:

Price is 60 € . More pics here: http://www.tabletop-world.com/merchantsHouse.php

Small update on future models by this company:

Tabletop World wrote:There's a slight change of plan. Windmill project is put aside for a while. We decided to concentrate on building the "core" of the town first, meaning that we are going to build 3 town houses next. In size they will be similar or a bit smaller then the Merchant's House and less fancy. You will be able to buy them as a set at a better price or each one separate.
After that, we are going to make more specialized buildings like windmill, blacksmith's forge, inn, marketplace...
We will remake most of our old stuff, but we are not going to make new molds of our old models.

**Kroothawk**

GW only has two towers and a chapel, the latter more symbolic than a real building.

Tabletop World makes real-scale buildings that don't mix well with more symbolic sized buildings from other manufacturers. The OOP old inn ruin from the first page is a very big hole in the tabletop battlefield, acceptable for Mordheim but too large for normal tabletop games. And the GW skull fetish also doesn't mix well with more realistic buildings.

Anyway, you find the exact dimensions of the tower here http://www.tabletop-world.com/guardTower.php .

Here a small WIP pic from a commission that will also be available for all later:

Tabletop World wrote:OK guys, we have some photos for your of our current side-project that we are doing as a commission for one of our customers. However, It will be available for everyone once it is finished.
It is a ruined temple. It the middle, there will be a sacrificial altar decorated with Cthulhu-like statue. Altar will be surrounded by many pillars. The ground will be elevated by few stairs and covered with decorated stone pavings.
Throughout the temple there will be snake-like and Aztec motifs in form of reliefs. Snake motif can also be found on the capitals of the pillars.
For now we are working on the pillars and upper stone blocks so here are some pictures:

Having Greek columns with Aztek motifs is not my cup of tea, but hey, it's a commission. Hope they do their usual stuff again after that.

Tabletop World finally managed to post a painted pic of the new Merchant House:

Meanwhile they released two smaller sets of gubbins:

Supplies (10 €):

Furniture (14 €):

**Kroothawk**

Good news: Tabletop World released their third building after the switch to new moulds:
http://www.tabletop-world.com/timberedHouse.php

Timbered House

Typical timber-framed medieval town house. The hall extends the full height of the building and is used as a general living room for everyone in the house. There is very little privacy. Everyone needs somewhere to keep warm, to enjoy recreation, to eat and to sleep. A central hearth provides the location for a blazing fire. Smoke escapes through a brick-chimney on the rear of the house.

Highly detailed building, with both interior and exterior. A great addition for any medieval or fantasy table. The model is very easy to assemble and fully accessible.

This kit contains many accessories:

1 x fireplace
2 x barrel (closed and empty one)
1 x small wooden box with supplies
1 x laying sack of grain
1 x table with food
1 x wooden door
1 x lantern
1 x small closet with pots on top
1 x bench
1 x set of hanging ladles
1 x bed

price: 50€
dimensions: 17x10x12cm (7x4x5inch)
weight: 410g

Tabletop World finally released a new terrain piece, a graveyard (94€, 27x33x29cm or 11x13x12inch):
http://www.tabletop-world.com/Graveyard.php

Here a groupshot of previous models:

Only with a good knife, as the floor is one piece

The Mausoleum is now available separately as well (23€):
http://www.tabletop-world.com/mausoleum.php

**Kroothawk**

The Garden of Morr is a nice plastic kit by a big company, this is a small run resin kit by two guys in a garage or something. The resin kit was startet before GW announced the plastic kit. I think both are valuable additions to Fantasy gaming tables.

Small update:

Tabletop World wrote:The Blacksmith's Forge was finished yesterday. Now we have to make molds of it. Hopefully it will be released by the end of the next week.

We like all of your suggestions but we decided that our next few projects will slightly differ from what we've done so far. We'll make series of more simple buildings that will be much more affordable to gamers and hobbyists. When we say more simple, we don't mean that it will be less detailed, the level of details will be on the same level if not even better. What we mean is, these buildings have to be designed in a way that they allow fast casting and remolding. That is the only way to significantly lower the price of the models. These models will have interior but it won't be fully modeled. We find that modeled interior is not of big importance to most of the gamers and in the same time, it is what makes the buildings hard to cast and remold thus more expensive. We are aiming for worldwide distribution with these products 'cause we will finally be able to offer good enough margin to distributors and retailers.

However, in the future we do plan to continue with more complex and exclusive buildings with multiple parts as well - buildings like Ruined Coaching Inn. These buildings will be available exclusively through our webshop.

Finally a new release. Blacksmith’s Forge (88€):

As said, future models will have no interior details (can be bought separately) and will be cheaper.

**Kroothawk**

Tabletop World just released a small affordable cottage (26,50€):

**Kroothawk**

With this kit, Tabletop World is starting their line of affordable tabletop buildings with reduced interior detail, reduced part numbers and reduced price. Expect more of these coming.

**Kroothawk**

Tabletop World released their second house in the new very affordable line. It is a townhouse for 32€ (and a Windmill will follow in about a month):

Small update:
Guard Tower and Blacksmith Forge are currently unavailable, as the mould has worn out. A new mould will eventually be made, but not sure when, as they are busy ATM.

Next project will be a shop. It will be a two storey building which will have a shop on the ground floor and a home for the shopkeeper's family in the upper storeys.

**Kroothawk**

They finally got around to post a pic of the painted townhouse:
