I finally got one of my Frostgrave minis completed. I've been distracted by This is Not a Test (awesome) but I grabbed a few models and set to work. This won't get me any closer to playing but when I saw the barbarian from the unveil to models others have painted on these forums I had to paint one. Beautiful model, iconic and great fun to put a brush to. As I painted the fig nostalgia set in and I had to break and watch a couple scenes from Conan the Barbarian (1982). Hoping to share some tales of high adventure in Felstad in the near future; Or at least a few models and a bit of terrain

Great painting work. I expect to see more Copplestone´s figures in this range, they are the best, IMHO.

I have been hobby butterflying so even though I haven't completed any models I have a fair number multi genre minis near completion. I have really been lagging on Frostgrave so here is an update.

I really liked the Northstar Sigilist and apprentice. I like them almost as muchas the barbarian. Not as much but I actually plan on using the Sigilist out of the gate. Both models need some highlights, embellishments and final clean up but I'm happy with where they are headed. Like the barbarian I really like the look of the models so the only alteration I made to the figure was cutting them off the tab bases and replacing it with greenstuff flagstone.

My treasure hunter is a reaper model. I couldn't say no to the map, telescope, pick and shovel. This model has a little further to go than my magical duo but should be ready to enter the frozen city (woefully "under" construction

) before it ever gets built.

Great additions. Good find with the treasure hunt - a real adventurer feel. Thanks for sharing

Digging the nuns.

I love your barbarian, perhaps the best I've seen !

A band of nuns is a good idea !

I agree, a great job on the Barbarian! I need to add that figure to my next order.

I finished the Sigilist and her apprentice. In the final stretch I got a bit sloppy and made some messes particularly on the wizard and her embroidered robe. I'm happy with the result because I spent a couple hours on each but that why I paint reasonably nice tabletop quality models and don't chase Golden Demons or love on CMON

. I might repaint the lower part of the Sigilist's robe some day but not today; When I'm on task I can be meticulous until I get bored but I'm never a perfectionist.

I prefer the apprentice. I did a better job of her and wasn't frustrated as I painted her first. I painted them in tandem to save paint and lead with her. I enjoyed the simplicity of her attire. By the time I hit the wizard I was bored with the palette and had a mountain of obnoxious gew-gaws to frig with that the other model wasn't packing. If the was one thing I could have suggested the sculptor do differently it would have been to cast the scroll separately. Just when I thought I had the eye detail lined up perfectly the damn thing jostled my brush and made a mess I became less and less interested in tidying up.

The other reason I, "called her done" was the snow on the base. It still hasn't set yet but I mixed up some gloss gel medium, a bit of white paint and some "diamond dust" (a powdered glass product). I'm really curious how the stuff will look once it dries and if it will be a good way to embellish future models and terrain.

Love them both. When I put gold on (metallic or no) I typically block it out with a brown first (old Snakebite Leather is a favourite, or Vermin Brown) to give the edges some contrast on the cloth.

The face on the Apprentice is particularly nice. Great job on the subtle colouring.
