Frostgrave 3: Things to Find (and Avoid)

Work progresses (slowly) on my Frostgrave warband and various associated stuff.

I have now painted up the six resin cast treasure tokens which came with the 'Nickstarter'.

 


They look a little dark as I am still experimenting with photographing minis.

The game features wandering monsters, many of which are familiar fantasy gaming types, so i raided my box(es) of D&D pre painted minis to provide the bulk of them.  Of course, I couldn't leave alone, so I have been repainting them.  I suspect this hasn't saved me any time, but it is fun, and I now have better minis for roleplay as well.  They are completed, but still waiting for varnish.


Here we have a White Ape, a Wraith and an Imp.  Or in their D&D days a Taer, a Cursed Spirit and a Gnaw Demon.  All have been completely re painted, though it was a quick job in all cases.  The bases are the original bases with cracks carved in to represent flagstones (or in the Imp's case, simply painted on).  This works fine for most figures, but I will be using some of my own made flagstone bases on other minis.

Finally, the completed warband minis.  One man and his dog, only waiting for eight of their friends.



A quick word about the ruins, they are from Fat Dragon's Ravenfell set, specifically the ruins.  the great thing is not only do they look good and add a third dimension to play, but they fold down flat (or almost) saving storage space and making transport easier.  They even have a layer to show snow, though I turned it off for the interiors.  I shall be building more of these, and also probably making some ruined walls out of insulation foam.

  1. Looking good, the background cloth works well for snow. Nice figures and tokens too.

  2. I'd like to claim that I was being really clever with the background, but I just slung a white towel over a music stand to help with the light.
    It does look rather good though, doesn't it.
