What do I (think I) need? Enough terrain for a 4 x 4 or so table, including a river, a few roads with bridges, and a town or two.
First up, Baccus (whose lovely figures we are using) is an easy starting place with this nice village set

While its listed in their Napoleonic rage, Leven Miniatures make a nice fortified Manor House that would do nicely as a Royalist stronghold

GEN11 - Tudor Style Public House |
HOU14 - Detached Tudor style house |
Dungeon Castings make this nice "House with Tower" as an alternative Manor House (DC-D0118)

Total Battle Miniatures also do this fantastic walled town set - very pretty but not sure if I need to drop 65 pounds on it at this stage and instead need more functional terrain. Very shiny though! Would make a great centrepiece for a Campaign though
The unpainted pics show what you get in better detail I think:
And finally, what kind of Royalist would I be without a good keep or castle to fall back on? But my quick look around didn't provide me with the lots of options that I expected. I thought for sure there would be many examples of big '5 star' castles like Conwy, Raglan or Caernarfon. What I'd really like is a nice tower like Donnington (where the battle of Newbury was fought in 1644).

And finally, some inspiration for baggage/camp elements here (all made with Baccus figures):

If you other suggestions or recommendations for us I'd love to hear them!
Very nice looking wee-terrain. I'm looking for some 1/1200th (2mm?) terrain for an Ancients game right now myself.
