Title: Frostgrave plastic Female Wizards
Post by: nicknorthstar on September 16, 2019, 06:16:13 PM
We've kept quiet about this little project, but I should have photos to show you next week of the plastic Female Wizards for Frostgrave.

Designed by Bobby Jackson, the man who created the Male Wizards, it's a similar styled frame of ladies with loads of head, arm, weapon and equipment variations.

I'll post the first picture here.

Very cool!

Together with the Oathmark Goblin Wolf Riders this is one of the Northstar sets I am very much looking forward to!

Outstanding! Looking forward to these. I do like making a good mix of male/female parties for adventure.

Female soldiers and wizard sprue build very nice female wizards (i bought it to built apprentices for many mages I have - I found that mages are easily available but the apprentices are difficult to find)

But I like the idea of the new set!

Here's sneak peek of the first 4 Kev has put together from the plastic frame.

Please don't share this photo, I've just put it here for LAF's enjoyment. The official pics will go out later.

Really like the look of the first one! Is there a bag full of apples included on the frame?
Title: Re: Frostgrave plastic Female Wizards
Post by: Coenus Scaldingus on October 03, 2019, 04:07:52 PM
Rather liking the look of those, even better and more interesting than the first plastic wizard set perhaps.

Now there is an idea ^___^

They look good, now please can we have a sprue photograph?

Post by: nicknorthstar on October 08, 2019, 07:01:29 PM
We don't have a frame picture as it's not been tooled yet. But here's Kev's painted versions. Again, these are just for you guys, could I ask you not to share them before tomorrow when we'll announce them to non-LAFers.

Post by: Ogrob on October 08, 2019, 07:07:50 PM
Just love that you guys are not just doing default white-people faces and hairstyles in your kits! I want to just straight up copy the second one for one of my crews.
Title: Re: Frostgrave plastic Female Wizards
Post by: giles the zog on October 10, 2019, 05:25:16 PM
Very nice !
Have saved the (male) wizards) so I can mix and match along with some of the female soldiers.
Now all I need is Old Mother Parma to survive a few more games...

Post by: Shahbahraz on October 10, 2019, 06:14:56 PM
You know, as I play no fantasy or RPG games, I have absolutely no use for these figures, but they look so nice I am seriously tempted.
Title: Re: Frostgrave plastic Female Wizards

Its great opportunity to start.
Some of the cult models bear some Persian influences :P

Outstanding! I think this is my favourite kit of all time ever! Not just cause it's cool women stuff, it's just such a lovely set with some many cool little quirky bits - you can tell a lot of thought has gone into it.
Title: Re: Frostgrave plastic Female Wizards
Post by: Bloggard on October 11, 2019, 04:45:58 PM
yes, what a great set.

Stop it! You're making it very difficult to resist....

Post by: Neldoreth on October 11, 2019, 10:33:30 PM
Just the other day I was thinking of looking for some figures to do Lirael, Sabriel, Touchstone, and Sammeth... and even Mogget! where can I get some female wizard/necromancer types. Can I find some already with bells? And Charter save me, here they are, perfect.

I will definitely be buying these.

Thanks

Is there a date for the Nickstarter?
Title: Re: Frostgrave plastic Female Wizards
Post by: nicknorthstar on October 12, 2019, 10:22:55 AM
It'll start next week.

It's going to be ace!  lol

I'll post here to say it's started.

If you're thinking of getting the new book Perilous Dark as well, I'd recommend you buy it now. If you do, it'll be sent as soon as it's out, and if you join in the Nickstarter we'll refund the postage. If you leave it to add to the Nickstarter, you'll have to wait for all the figures to be ready and we'll send the book and figures together. It'll only be a very short period of time between them, so it's not a massive deal, but if you're super keen to get hold of the book, order now:

http://www.northstarfigures.com/prod.php?prod=14152 (http://www.northstarfigures.com/prod.php?prod=14152)

Note, you have to order the Nickstarter to get Evil Dave the Familiar, he doesn't come with orders for just the book. So if you order now, you need to then join in the Nickstarter for the plastic Wizards to qualify for Evil Dave.

Lots of opportunities.

The bits look very useful.

Great stuff, love the hand puppet!
That is just plain disturbing.

Post by: Black Arrow on October 14, 2019, 01:42:19 AM
I love the varied arm options. You can even make a wizard that dual-wields bells with this kit! That's not something I would have expected, but I think it's great. I think that the crow will be pretty handy for folks who want to make their own crowmasters out of the plastic kits.
Title: Re: Frostgrave plastic Female Wizards
Post by: Griefbringer on October 14, 2019, 01:59:38 PM
That's an impressive lot of bits and pieces! Makes me want to buy a box of these, another of the female soldiers, and then mix the bits to produce a huge unit of ice-witches where every figure is unique. Not sure what I would do with them afterwards, though.
Title: Re: Frostgrave plastic Female Wizards
Post by: Mason on October 14, 2019, 02:11:48 PM
That is seriously useful and well thought out set of components.
I can see a lot of these shifting for all sorts of settings other than Frostgrave too.

After some thinking, I realised that with all of those open hands they could probably be built up as unarmed civilians, in case somebody needs a bunch for their games.
Title: Re: Frostgrave plastic Female Wizards
Post by: nicknorthstar on October 14, 2019, 05:48:26 PM
Yeah, Osprey have the box art ready:
