Iambrick Greenwood Range Review

After enjoying my time with Iambrick’s Arboreal Keep, I wanted to see if that experience carried over to another set from the brand. Greenwood Range immediately caught my eye. It sits firmly in the medieval / castle space and depicts an archer training ground, complete with a base building, a watchtower, and several side builds including a working ballista and a large brick-built tree.

It’s a fairly traditional setup on paper, but as with Arboreal Keep, execution matters more than ambition here.

Set Information

Pieces: 1109
Official Price: $52.99 (Iambrick official store)

Build Experience

The build experience is very similar to Arboreal Keep, just with fewer tiny elements overall. It’s a simple, relaxed build, with everything going together cleanly and logically. There are no complex or mind-bending techniques on display, but that feels appropriate for the type of set this is.

The building is broken up sensibly across the bags, and nothing ever feels rushed or underdeveloped. The roofs in particular are worth mentioning:

• The base building roof comes together cleanly and sits well.
• The watchtower roof is a little more involved, built in multiple sections, but still solid and problem-free.

One thing to note is that both main structures use an open-back design, allowing easy access for interaction and play. Personally, I’m not a huge fan of open-backed builds for display and usually end up closing them in with spare parts, but this will absolutely appeal to anyone who prefers playability over full enclosure.

The Base Building

The first bags focus on the main “base” structure. The brick and stonework is nicely textured, with wooden accents that stop it from looking flat or repetitive.

Inside, you’ll find:

• A stack of chopped logs
• A small fireplace
• What appears to be an arrowhead or crafting element, suggesting this is where arrows are assembled or maintained

It’s simple, but it makes sense for the setting.

There are also three printed elements here:

• Two dragon sigils printed on shield pieces, mounted on either side of the building
• A “Greenwood Range” sign featuring a target and arrow print, attached to the exterior

The roof uses a thatched effect, which works well visually, and the slanted chimney is a nice finishing touch.

The Watchtower

The watchtower is built next and, while still straightforward, it’s probably the most visually interesting structure in the set.

The stonework features cracks and subtle greebling, which helps avoid large flat grey surfaces. The tower is built in four clear stages:

• Ground floor: Tiled flooring (nice to see tiles instead of exposed studs), a front wooden door, and a small awning roof
• First floor: A simple study area with a table, book element, letter, and quill, plus a small candle setup
• Second floor: The wooden watch level, largely empty but ideal for placing figures on lookout
• Roof: Built in eight sections and matching the thatched style of the base building

It’s not packed with interior detail, but everything that’s there feels intentional rather than empty.

Side Builds & Accessories

The third set of bags covers the accessories and the tree, and there’s quite a bit included here.

Training Targets

Two mannequin-style targets equipped with:

• A printed shield
• A printed circular target
• A sword

These fit the theme perfectly and help sell the idea of an active training range.

Weapon Rack

A small wooden rack holding:

• Two crossbows
• A sword

Simple, but effective.

Working Ballista

This is easily one of the highlights of the set.

The instructions introduce elastic bands, which immediately suggests this is more than just a static display piece. And sure enough, the ballista actually fires. Pull back the mechanism, release it, and the arrow shoots forward with surprising force.

It’s a fun inclusion and feels very on-theme for an archer training ground.

The Tree

Trees are often where smaller brands struggle, so I was paying close attention here. Thankfully, after the success of Arboreal Keep, my confidence was justified.

This tree:

• Is built from multiple branch sections
• Allows branches to be angled and shaped differently
• Connects neatly to the watchtower

The instructions can be a bit hard to follow at this stage, especially when it comes to leaf placement. You really do need to slow down and pay attention. That said, even if the angles aren’t perfect, the end result still looks good.

Most importantly, the tree is solid. I was able to handle the leaves directly without anything popping off, which is not always a given with brick-built foliage.

Brick Quality

Iambrick uses GoBricks for their sets, and the quality here is consistently high. Clutch power is strong without being overly tight, and during the entire build there were no loose connections or parts that felt fragile once assembled.

Colour consistency was also very good. The various greys used for the stonework, along with the browns and greens in the tree and roof elements, were uniform and matched well across different parts. Nothing stood out as mismatched or off-tone, which is especially important in a medieval-themed set where texture and colour variation can easily look messy if done poorly.

Despite the number of leaf elements and smaller decorative parts used in the tree, everything stayed firmly in place. Once built, the model can be handled and repositioned without pieces constantly falling off, which speaks well of both the brick quality and the way the set has been engineered.

Overall, the bricks are comfortably on par with what you would expect from other premium alternative brands, and easily good enough to mix into existing builds or MOCs without hesitation.

Printed Parts

Greenwood Range includes a small but welcome selection of printed parts, and importantly, no stickers.

There aren’t many prints overall, but the ones included add meaningful detail and help reinforce the theme. For a set of this size and price, it feels appropriate rather than lacking.

Instructions & Bags

The set comes with a compact instruction booklet and is split into three main stages, each with a small number of numbered bags. Each stage contains several inner bags, but everything is clearly grouped and easy to manage.

At first glance, the instructions looked like they might be tricky. They highlight the build area rather than each individual piece, with surrounding parts faded out. However, once I got started, this turned out not to be an issue. The steps are logical, and the colour callouts are explained clearly. For example, darker browns appear almost black with white outlines, but this is noted in the instructions so you know exactly what to look for.

I used a reading light while building, which helped, but overall I didn’t run into any confusion or make any mistakes.

Minifigures

There are no minifigures included in this set. Personally, I would have liked at least one or two to bring the scene to life, especially given the training ground theme. That said, it’s not a deal-breaker and is fairly common with sets like this.

Pricing and Value

Value is where this set really shines. I paid $32.79 (approx £24.00) for just under 1,100 pieces (from AliExpress), which is excellent. Even at Iambrick’s official price of $52.99, it still represents good value for the level of detail and the quality of the build.
