Though this news might be of interest, found when gathering more information about the Northstar Miniatures 2017 miniature and game schedule as they announced new plastic boxed sets and three games in partnership with Osprey Games along with more cool projects. Other upcoming releases can be found on Wargame News and Terrain, my daily wargame news blog here http://wargameterrain.blogspot.be/2016/12/northstar-miniatures-new-frostgrave.html

Frostgrave: Ghost Archipelago: Fantasy Wargames in the Lost Isles Hardcover – September 19, 2017 - by Joseph A. McCullough (Author), Dmitry Burmak (Illustrator), Kate Burmak (Illustrator)

The Ghost Archipelago has returned. A vast island chain, covered in the ruins of ancient and otherworldly civilizations, the Archipelago appears every few centuries, far out in the southern ocean. At such times, pirates, adventurers, wizards, and legendary heroes all descend upon the islands in the hopes of finding lost treasures and powerful artefacts. A few, drawn by the blood of their ancestors, search for the fabled Crystal Pool, whose waters grant abilities far beyond those of normal men. It is only the bravest, however, who venture into the islands, for they are filled with numerous deadly threats. Cannibal tribes, sorcerous serpent-men, and poisonous water-beasts all inhabit the island ruins, guarding their treasure hordes and setting traps for the unwary.

In this new wargame, set in the world of Frostgrave, players take on the role of Heritors, mighty warriors whose ancestors drank from the Crystal Pool. These Heritors lead their small, handpicked teams of spellcasters, rogues, and treasure hunters into the ever-shifting labyrinth of the Ghost Archipelago. Although using the same rules system as Frostgrave, this standalone wargame focuses on heroes who draw on the power in their blood to perform nigh-impossible feats of strength and agility. This game also includes 30 new spells drawn from five schools of magic, a host of new soldier types, brand new scenarios, treasure tables, and a full bestiary of the most common creatures that inhabit the Ghost Archipelago

Awesome! I can't wait!

Sounds cool! Plastic cannibals? That would be even cooler!

Oh my poor wallet...

Interesting.  Sounds like jungle islands to me, which is cool because I have more jungle terrain than snow terrain currently.

[Reed]

In such case, there shouldn't be Frostgrave anymore but Warmthgrave. Or Heatgrave. Or...

Looking forward in reading that!

Maybe some plastic Amazons? I love Frostgrave, but the plastic kits need some options for women and wizard models. (Hint, hint.)

[M.O.T.N]

What a surprise!

[steeldragon]
