Trojan Horse Siege Shop
Forgotten Greek ruins. A rising medieval siege shop. Legendary machines reborn.

Intro
Hidden deep within the forest, a medieval engineering guild has built an imposing siege shop atop the
weathered stones of a forgotten Greek outpost. Among the ruins, the builders uncovered something
extraordinary: fragments of an ancient parchment depicting instructions for the legendary Trojan Horse.
To the guild, the discovery felt less like coincidence… and more like destiny. Rather than simply studying
the ancient plans, they vowed to rebuild the myth itself, merging Greek ingenuity with medieval
craftsmanship.

Welcome to the Trojan Horse Siege Shop: a living medieval complex rising from ancient ruins, filled with
craft, story and engineering at every turn.

What You’ll Build

Ancient Greek Ruins & Forge Yard
Your journey begins at the base. Fallen Greek columns and cracked pedestals repurposed into a working
forge yard. A micro-forge glows beneath stone arches. A grinding wheel sharpens fresh-forged parts.
Hidden alcoves store tools and materials. This foundation sets the tone: a forgotten battleground
transformed into a thriving siege complex.

Mane Event Engineering Shop
At the heart of the build stands the timber-framed engineering shop. Here, craftsmen shape planks,
assemble gears, and interpret fragments of the Trojan Horse blueprint. Workbenches overflow with
rope coils, tools, and half-finished siege parts, giving the shop a lived-in feel.

Loading Crane & Timber Bridge
Above the rafters, a functional crane hoists timber beams and supplies between platforms, expanding
the build vertically. A sturdy wooden bridge connects the workshop to the fortified tower, creating a
dramatic multi-level scene that feels both cinematic and authentic.

Neigh-farious Tower Armory
A multi-story armory filled with weapon racks, lookout posts, storage alcoves, and training stations.
This tower is the beating heart of the outpost’s defenses: busy, layered and believable.

Ballista & Catapult
Two fully realized siege engines showcase the guild’s skill in micro-precision engineering.
- A compact crossbow-style ballista inspired by recovered Greek geometry
- A portable catapult used to test tension, torsion, and trajectory for larger machines

Each tool blends ancient influence with medieval innovation.

The Rebirth of a Legend: The Trojan Horse
At the center of the workshop rises the guild’s most ambitious creation yet: a towering wooden Trojan
Horse, reconstructed from the scroll fragments found in the ruins below.
- Layered tiles create the look of wooden planks
- Curved slopes form the horse’s iconic silhouette
- Interior space hints at the ancient strategy within
- Scaffolding and tools surround the evolving masterpiece

This isn’t just a model; it’s the construction of mythology in brick form.

A Cast of 8 Mini Figures Bring the Story to Life
Each Mini Figure plays a role in the Siege Crafters Guild’s grand reconstruction:
- Master Engineer – interpreter of the ancient scrolls
- Tower Archer – first strike defender

- Master Blacksmith – forger of weapons and tools
- Siege Specialist – guardian of the guild’s artillery secrets
- Warrior Scout – patrols the perimeter
- Bridge Guard – heavily armored defender of the complex
- Trojan Saboteur – whose motives remain… uncertain

Together, they transform the shop into a living, breathing world.
