I have been searching through my figure sets for something cool to use in Frostgrave whilst I decide what to purchase,,,,,(I know it will happen, there is no point denying it).... I had looked at my Crab clan army for L5R but was seriously short of wizards for it (just the one) which was a shame as they have pretty much just sat in a box since I painted them. Then some luck came and inspiration struck me as i came across an old watcher figure from a Crocodile Games sponsored tournament from a few years back. A serious amount of hacking at it to remove its massive base (which did also give me a nice stone needle to base separately as scatter too) and a little glue finally got me my apprentice.....
Next when I was looking at the lists came the dilemma of what to actually take. I found I could field a lot of the figures but then eventually settling on a list meant I wanted a Warhound. I certainly found a Hound at least that I picked up from Warbases last Salute....not so sure on the War part but it looks quite fitting i believe...
So On the the whole point...I present...(with an awful picture taken on my phone
but it gives the flavour)
The Questing Party of Kuni Yori
Wizard, Apprentice, Ranger, Treasure Hunter, Archer, Thug x 3, Warhound.
I have access to a few of the other types but this seemed to give a good general mix of starting dudes that fits the figures available whilst still having a few numbers.
Next up is the important decision of exactly which type of wizard this will be. I am seriously looking at a Soothsayer at present.
A good chance summon Zombie will be taken as one of the back up spells too so as to swell the ranks. Its not that bad to chance at a -4 cast as a OOG.
More later.
