Anyone who's so much as glanced at this blog knows that I truly believe Battlefront's Battlefield in a Box line is one of the best deals in Miniature Wargaming available. I don't consider that hyperbole- when you consider the price point, the quality, and the fact that it's prepainted there is almost nothing to dislike about this entire product line!
One of the buildings did have some minor chipping on the thin roof |
The newest addition to the set- Rural Farm Buildings is really no exception. The buildings represent generic, Eastern European rural dwellings and come pre-painted to a very acceptable standard.
The box includes two buildings at a price point of $26 (USD). As an added bonus they were tightly packed in cardboard rather than the annoying and messy white styrofoam- a welcome change! That means each fully painted building costs as much as a single unpainted tank blister. That is an awesome deal in my mind!
Even the internal floors have been prepainted.
Other internal details are present for those who wish to spend the extra time to paint them.
Each building is perfectly sized to fit two medium bases (with just enough wiggle room to make them fit easily).
The line fits in perfectly with the very excellent previous Russian village set.
In conclusion, I've largely run out of nice things to say about the Battlefield in a Box line! The releases are consistently great and I always look forward to them. Aside from the very minor chipping and the slight lack of variety between the two buildings, I can easily justify giving these guys 7/8 Babushkas.
