The Normandy Farmstead is a centrepiece terrain piece for any World War Two wargame set in Northern France. Farm complexes like this were common across the region and often became defensive strongpoints during the fighting in 1944. With its stone walls, gated courtyard, and rural detailing, this model captures the atmosphere of a French farmstead perfectly, bringing authenticity to your tabletop battles.
The Farmstead in Action
The Normandy Farmstead gives you a large courtyard and a range of tactical options. Troops can move through the open yard, taking cover around the farmhouse and barns. It makes an excellent objective for skirmishes, and its wide layout means it can host vehicles, supply dumps, or command posts. Once the upcoming fence sets are added, the farm can be fully enclosed, creating more defensible positions and channelled entry points, giving you even more scenario possibilities.Situating this farm alongside fields, hedgerows, or a road makes it ideal for re-creating engagements from the Normandy campaign, such as the clashes in the bocage country or the approaches to Caen.

Farmyard Accessories
To bring the scene to life, the Farmyard Accessories set adds fine detail and character. The kit includes a pig pen with animals, stacked firewood, hay bales, and even an outhouse, all of which help turn the farmstead into a lived-in environment. These pieces aren’t just scenic extras, they reinforce the historical setting, showing the everyday life of rural Normandy amidst the backdrop of war.

Fences – Coming Soon
A new range of fences will soon be available to expand the farmstead further. Wooden and stone fencing played a huge role in defining boundaries in rural France and can be used to channel movement, block line of sight, and create more realistic layouts. These fences will also tie in seamlessly with the farmstead and accessories, giving you the flexibility to build authentic farmyards, lanes, and enclosed fields.
