Frostgrave from the North

[Harry]

Great work on the scenery and nice tutorial. Thanks

Couple more pics of the warbands as they take shape. Unashamedly I've gone for some really simply colour schemes with lots of primary colours, really fun to do!

Some details still need a little work, mostly around the faces. I've added a red glaze to some noses and cheeks... it's cold after all!

Absolutely wonderful! While not the same, they somehow remind me of my own models, so I can't help but like them. Haha.

Man, that painting is too good.  Really bright and wonderful, great work.

Now that my warband's are almost finished I'll paint up a couple of monsters, thinking of using the wight in the centre are the Lich Lord.

Time for round 2 of my Frostgrave terrain. The first lot were quite generic and plain, these pieces will be a bit more specialised.

I'm totaly fan of your paintjob. You Scenery are great too.

Really like your terrain! Starts with simple beginnings and ends up looking very detailed!

Do you coat the base foam with PVA first to give it some strength? I hate when my scenery gets bashed up when using it and storing it after putting so much effort into making and painting it.

Do you coat the base foam with PVA first to give it some strength?.

As part of the base coat of grey acrylic I mix in pva glue and a little texture medium. Following that another base coat, followed by a wash and then several layers of drybrushing tends to seal the whole thing up good. Oddly enough it's when you store the terrain and parts touch, the paint tends to stick together and then come off. I wrap my terrain in bubble wrap for storage!

Two images here, first one sculpts, second one the terrain status. More on this later... but it's taking shape.

Long story short - these were personal projects that have morphed into something I'll likely get produced as resin products. I'll make them as multi part as I can to open up all the conversion opportunities. They scale with Frostgrave plastics naturally.

These are my spell casters, not an attempt to make a multi part wizard kit. As designer and sculptor, that project would be brutal. I'll stick to my own generic little wizards. The guy on the right though will make a good cultist holding a torch or something, a few of them would look good at a cult gathering (summoning) that gets crashed by a couple of warbands.

Anyway, These guys might be for sale in December sometime. I'd love to do a frost giant too...

P.S. ignore the names on the corks, I changed armatures at the last minute.

Those wizards are looking sweet... I'd definitely be interested in buying some of those.  Please keep us posted!

The foam (the kappa, I think you called it) that you are using to make the layered effect is genius.  Your work is pretty fantastic!  Using the "throw away" foam for your base building is admirable and use have used it in such a way that it hides most of the texture that normally screams "Hey!  A toaster came inside of me!"

Masterfully done.

[Argonor]

Splendid work! Lots of inspiration to be had from your scratchbuilding. 

[Malebolgia]

Wow! That scenery looks awesome.

[Captain Blood]

Great stuff all round here. Terrain, kitbashing, original miniatures and painting. Well done. Enjoying this thread very much
