The Peninsular Village from Battle Honours 3D is a highly detailed terrain piece, designed to bring Mediterranean towns to your tabletop with both style and function. Available in two variants – Unmounted for flexible setups, and Mounted on a sculpted scenic base. It gives you options for wargaming, dioramas, and train layouts.
Each building in the set has removable floors, allowing full access to the interiors for close-quarters fighting. That means no more placing figures awkwardly on rooftops, you can fight room to room.
Thanks to Gordon, some images showcasing the 28mm version, complete with troops clearing buildings and a tank navigating the tight streets.
Where it fits historically
This village is ideal for wargames set across the Iberian Peninsula, southern France, and Italy, covering several major conflicts:
Peninsular War (1807–1814)
This was the grinding conflict between Napoleon’s forces and the Anglo-Portuguese-Spanish alliance. Many villages and small towns across Spain and Portugal became battlegrounds, from Salamanca, Ciudad Rodrigo, and Badajoz, to the outskirts of Madrid. The layout suits skirmishes, ambushes, and urban assaults typical of this campaign.
WW2 Mediterranean Campaign (1942–1945)
From the beaches of Sicily and the hills of Monte Cassino, to the streets of Avignon and Toulon, Allied forces fought through countless villages that looked just like this. The tight lanes, courtyards, and churchyard in the set provide perfect settings for Bolt Action, Chain of Command, or What a Tanker scenarios.
Spanish Civil War (1936–1939)
Urban engagements were common, and this village offers exactly the sort of environment seen in battles around places like Teruel, Belchite, or smaller rural holdouts. Ideal for use with rulesets like Empress Miniatures' SCW system or homebrew adaptations.
Post-war and Cold War settings
This type of architecture persisted well into the modern day, making it suitable for Cold War hypotheticals, NATO exercises, or modern conflicts across the Mediterranean. It also fits generic European resistance or counter-insurgency scenarios.
Use beyond wargaming
The 28mm Peninsular Village also makes an excellent backdrop for:
-
Model railway layouts, especially those depicting Spanish or southern French regions.
-
Dioramas showing occupation scenes, civilian evacuations, or rebuilding efforts post-battle.
-
Photography setups for showcasing painted miniatures.
It can be repurposed with minimal effort for fantasy, pulp, or alternate history settings – adding versatility across genres.
Why Battle Honours 3D?
Every building is true scale, meaning architectural proportions like doorways, windows, and stairs are correct to the figure scale. In this 28mm version, you’ll notice:
-
Sharp detail on stonework, shutters, and tiles.
-
Interior floors that lift off, enabling actual combat inside buildings – a feature many resin kits lack.
-
Smooth surface finish, designed for hobbyists who want strong detail but manageable painting.
We print our buildings 15mm and above using tuned FDM printers to capture form and surface texture without compromise. All models under 13.5mm use our custom 12K resin formula instead.
