Actually I think the one you picked up for me in Baltimore was the larger 4-piece entrenchment, but I can't be sure. <br /><br />Mmmm, I'm definitely going to have to check out this lead you've provided. As you say, if the castings are no longer being produced... (and the fact that I've given Forge World a couple pounds of my flesh in my time as GW Fanboi)Curthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03202047917371080576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5113124494092492419.post-52027224398663302062013-11-30T18:55:02.986-06:002013-11-30T18:55:02.986-06:00That is an old piece Curt!

Funny enough I just dug mine and the fortifications that go with it out a little while ago to paint to.<br /><br />While they are out of print, if you don't mind supporting places that are not quite above board, several of the Forge World'ski places out of Russia still produce the piece. Forgeworld-discount has it for $35 euros, and I have seen it on others copy sites too. All depends on your views of the "secondary producers" markets though. With this piece, I wouldn't feel bad ordering a copy though, since the original is no longer produced.
