Description

We teamed up with the folks behind Pillage to make Castle Liness, specifically their game. Pillage is a narrative skirmish game set in the Viking Age, where every raid and every last stand tells a story. Castle Liness gives those stories somewhere to happen. Hold the walls to protect your people and their treasure, or storm the gate, loot the place, and set it to the torch.

Play Pillage

The base game is available now from Victrix.
The new Siege rules are currently crowdfunding. The campaign is in French for the moment, so at this stage it’s one for our French-speaking friends.
English Siege rules are coming from Victrix soon.

Castle Liness now contains modified parts from components in four of our existing Throne & Ash and King and Country bundles. You will get 25% off for each of the bundles that you own:

You will see the bundle discount on the product when you are logged in. If you haven’t purchased a bundle yet, you can do so now and then return here to claim your discount.

Castle Liness uses advanced SystemHEX tessellation.

SystemHEX: What’s the scale?

Posted on October 14, 2026November 10, 2026 by Matt Barker

Throne and Ash is designed at 32mm, but because you print it yourself, you can choose to print it at 28mm. Neither scale is “wrong”. The right one depends on how your games actually use the castle. The short answer: Print at 32mm (original size) for skirmish games when your figures will be moving around… Read more

1 question for Castle Liness – 3d printable Castle

Jacek Nalborski – September 30, 2026

I think it would be very useful to see examples of how new, modified Stone Keep and King’s Quarters tassellate within regular system hex layouts. Of course if it possible at all.
- Joanne Boorer (verified owner) – October 2, 2026
  
  We are working on a video and blog to release next week to show how this all tessellates.
Rated 5 out of 5

joshua.rouleau (verified owner) – October 1, 2026

Love it. Would love to see others from the King and Country set adapted to System Hex (Stone Fort, Square keep, etc)
- Joanne Boorer (verified owner) – October 2, 2026
  
  Yes, we are planning to do this in the future.
jackieq (verified owner) – October 2, 2026

It would be so great to see a new painting tutorial for this style 🙂
- Joanne Boorer (verified owner) – October 2, 2026
  
  Thanks for your suggestion. We are planning to do this next week.

how this scale 28 mm but all the old system hex scale 32mm ? will they work with each other ?
- Joanne Boorer (verified owner) – October 5, 2026
  
  Just corrected the scale of this castle to 32mm, as the doors on the King and Country models have been adjusted to meet this scale.
richard.curley (verified owner) – October 13, 2026

So to print this to the scale of Victrix Pillage figures you use 87.5% scale?
- Matt Barker – October 14, 2026
  
  The short answer: Print at 32mm for skirmish games when your figures will be moving around inside and on top of the castle, because you get more room to play. Print at 28mm when you want the castle to look smaller and more proportioned next to your true 28mm miniatures for dioramas.
  
  ive written a blog here for more information https://www.printablescenery.com/2026/10/14/systemhex-whats-the-scale/
Arnoud Koenen – October 16, 2026

i guess you already kind of answered this question, but to be sure, this castle is scaled at 32mm and the “old country bundle” is scaled at 28mm. Since i already printed a lot of stuff for that it would be as simple as scaling this down to 87,5% to get it on the same scale, as i understand.

I do not understand the open lock well enough, but is it integral to this castle? and if i rescale everything the “open lock” system would work at 28mm scale? this i don’t know

Also as you say are things are reworked, are they reworked to be suited to 32mm or to include the open lock? in case of the latter and based on your other comments as long as i stay consistent with my scaling there is a bright future ahead with everything just a tad smaller then intended (correct?)
- Joanne Boorer (verified owner) – October 19, 2026
  
  Thanks for reaching out. Sorry for the confusion. This is part of the Hex System, not OpenLOCK. The King And country buildings used in the Castle Liness are still the same scale, only the doorways have been adjusted in height. If you email me at [email protected], I can help you further.
richard.curley (verified owner) – October 19, 2026

I started printing 100% but found it to big for Victrix Pillage model, I used 87.5% and it seems much better. Only wasted 250g of filament 🙁
richard.curley (verified owner) – October 19, 2026

For the 28mm scale what size of wire to hold the gates?
- Joanne Boorer (verified owner) – October 20, 2026
  
  1.5mm width wire will hold these gates.
Navsarang Singh (verified owner) – October 24, 2026

There are files for the doors and arch plugs for the door gaps that should connect for the walls but I appears that you didn’t add any doors for the ground level door arches. These are narrower than the ones that go on the walls. In the photos it looks like doors exist for this but they don’t seem to be in the files.
- Joanne Boorer (verified owner) – October 27, 2026
  
  I have just checked the physical model, and the door included fits the plugs and the lower-level attached doorways.
