Casual Tea's Frostgrave Stuff (Wizard! - 7/31)
« on: January 21, 2018, 09:36:38 AM »
Hello everyone, I am returning to the miniatures hobby after a 10 year hiatus. I've lurk'd for some time on this forum and have been so inspired by many of the wonderful creations you all post here. I've decided to create my own thread to share my progress, and, perhaps, inspire others in turn.

My warband consists of a human wizard and apprentice with a gang of mercenary dwarves. Why hire dwarves instead of humans, you ask? Perhaps their steadfast nature, affinity for treasure hunting, or ability to fit into narrow underground passages... Or perhaps because I just own a lot of old Rackham dwarves!


A dwarven thug, with large wine skin (formerly a bagpipe)



Cadwe Felstad dwarf crossbow militia





Kelt Sessairs Shaman as my wizard's apprentice! This was my first attempt at object source lighting. I think it came out a little dark, but not bad.





...And the Wizard. This guy can't be anything but a Sigilist, right?





The gang so far...

Beautiful paint job.

It's not big, or clever, but let's do it anyway

A couple of new additions: Warhounds! These were fun and quick to paint as they don't require a lot of colors. I used them as an opportunity to try out some new basing material, and some new paints & additives. They're actually a friend's models so they might be going in his warband, not mine.

This makes me want to work on my Confrontation figures.
I didn’t realize how grotesque are the non-human races compared to humans within the Rackham range.

They really are! The Confrontation dwarves are especially unique looking with regards to other fantasy dwarves, I think.

A new addition arrives! He has somewhat a mystical/druidic thing going on what with the bark totem and what appears to be an animated stone boar companion. I was thinking he'd make a good apothecary. I was uneasy about bright green as the dominant color to the point of almost changing it entirely, but my desire to not do extra work triumphed over my indecisiveness. I think it turned out OK. Pretty happy with the contrast on this one.

Something a little different from my other models, a purple horror for a minor demon! Painted it up Sunday afternoon during a session with a friend, so it has a simpler paint job than my dwarves, but I quite like how it turned out. These old GW figures are pretty fun and characterful.

I have this figure too, and I'm quite fond of the colours you've chosen.
