LEGO® Ganrash

Description

A small extra from the games line

The Games range combines bricks with rules for play, and Ganrash is one of the small additions to that world. With 56 pieces the set is deliberately modest and works as a quick build between bigger projects. According to the catalogue there is no minifigure, so the model itself takes centre stage. For collectors of the range it is a neat addition; for everyone else it is mostly a compact supply of useful bricks.

Earthy colours

The main colours are reddish brown, green, tan and light bluish grey. The mix feels natural and suits woodland motifs, ruins or fantasy landscapes. Reddish brown and tan recall timber and sand, green suggests plants, and light grey stands in for stone. Because the shades are so restrained, they combine easily with other sets without taking over, which makes them easy to reuse. The parts list on this page shows which colour is included in what quantity, piece by piece.

Twenty-four different shapes

The 56 pieces include 24 different shapes. That is a solid ratio for a small set: there is enough variety for interesting details, yet also a few repeats. If you want to check a second-hand copy, simply compare the parts list with what is in the bag. Individual missing bricks can be spotted quickly and reordered precisely, without having to take the whole model apart again to find out what is absent.

Reusing the parts

With small sets in particular it pays to think about life after the build. The earthy colours are ideal for landscapes, castles and fantasy worlds, where you will want them again later. If you add Ganrash to your collection, the “What can I build?” tool suggests suitable models that you can make with the bricks you already own. That way a mini set stays a lasting and useful part of your collection, long after the first build.
