Frostgrave from the North
« on: March 03, 2016, 09:50:57 PM »
I'm a little late to the frostgrave party it seems, but better late than never.

Really happy to see there are releases planned right up to November, this should be a nice paced project for me that can last this year and beyond.

It's been well over 15 years since I jumped in a bought the basics for a new game so this is quite a treat, and takes me back to being a teenager when I played games workshop skirmish games.

My initial loot courtesy of Waterstones, North Star and Copplestone Castings...



... and the first batch of terrain! All scratch built from nasty polystyrene and some high quality kappa foam (firmer version of foamboard). Few licks of paint, a cheap and cheerful black wash followed by a couple of drybrush layers. Next up on it I'll do some inking and shading for weathering followed by my first ever attempt at snow. Naturally i'll do a little test before I desecrate the terrain with it.

The mat is a horrible table cover thing I found in Dunelm, the underside was a nice white fabric however. It's the right rigidity so when I stack books or boxes under it the hills and countours are nice and firm, and minis grip to the slopes perfectly.















I sculpt a lot so when I start making the minis I expect I'll be doing lots of custom bits and pieces! Before that though... painting the wizards and snow trolls!

Did you make that scenery yourself? Did you enter my mind and made my dream scenery or something?

He ain't talking until you tell us what boxed set comes with "Forgotten Pacts" and whether we will get a wooly rhino.   :D
