GRENDEL MODELS. At SKELP in November 1996 I purchased some exquisitely designed and manufactured Egyptian gates for my 15mm range. The detail has to be seen to be believed. Wanting more I wrote to the firm and got a reply from a solicitor stating that they had gone into liquidation! I was delighted to find at Triples that my pal Robbie Ferguson is now producing this range which are useable in 15mm by any solo player.

Items that attracted my attention were: F0035 "Goblin Encampment" (I have no goblins but lots of Barbarians who would welcome these shelters) but there again I could have F0047 Barbarian Huts, for them! F0038 "Temple of Horus", F0039 "Obelisks & Entrance", F0051 "Ruined Acropolis" and 20034 "Standing Stones". Numbers 38 & 39 I only had time to see in the packets so I'm not to sure of, but the Acropolis and Standing Stones (for my Celts) I purchased and really compliment my 15mm armies. Spot these standard setting models at shows usually co-located with Scotia Models and be as impressed as I was. Will give more details when I have had the time to gauge what I consider could be used in this large range, for 15mm Ancients, because I know there is a lot there for Fantasy gamers. For details see QMs Stores.
