I love it, you've done a masterful job, especially with the roof. I really like the way you added the inverted slopes around the edges. It gives it a slightly exotic flair. Nice work, I can't wait for the entire castle.

This tower is really nice, and I can see in this pic that this is going to be a nice castle.

I was playing around with the top of it, and came up with this. The colors are messed up, but do you think this looks better?

Hmm, I like the other version better. This might be better if used with a "flat top tower with crenelations, or if there were windows between the slopes. But I like the other one better.

Well, I like the arches, but the blue doesn't work. If you have those in grey, then yes, I like it.

That looks fantastic :) I definately prefer the 2nd towe design - it carries the flow of the structure through to the roof far more effectively (not in blue though, of course ;) )

I kind of like this look better, but the light grey corner slope are so expensive that I am probably going to go with the first design.

The brickshelf has WIP pictures of the whole castle, if you're interested.
