I bought The Perilous Dark supplement at the last wargames show I attended (if you remember what they were) in November 2019.

The Perilous Dark was the last supplement for Frostgrave First edition, but is generally compatible with Frostgrave Second Edition.

One of the scenarios involves weirdly glowing crystals. I bought a pack of Crystals (cast in resin) from Bad Squid Games. Originally they were for Malifaux (Rasputina).

They were based on Renedra 25mm round bases.
They were undercoated with Corax White and the base painted black.
The glowing crystals were painted with Citadel Hexwraith Flame.

When Bob signed up for this trip to Felstad, he was expecting some support.

The Chronohounds were undercoated with Citadel Corax White, then the eyes and mouth were painted with Citadel Screamer Pink. The rest of the figure was then painted with Citadel Contrast Aethermatic Blue for a glowing otherworldly look.

With Time Crystal.

A long time ago (which can describe a lot of stuff I bought and set aside for later use) I bought a pack of four treasure chests from Ainsty.

They sat around for a while, but never got painted.

With my interest in Frostgrave renewed (and not being able to find the Ainsty Treasure markers), they have been dug out.

The pack contains two lots of two models.

Two large bound chests:

And two medium bound chests.

The chests are about an inch long, so are on 30mm Renedra round bases.

Joriff (qv) celebrates his haul from his visit to Felstad.

Joriff was the son of a tavern owner on the Great Road to the North (and Felstad). He was hard working and popular (amongst the "popular" crowd) in his town. He would have probably ended up as the mayor of the town, or even moved to a larger town or city and become the mayor or higher there.

And then the old man and his party arrived at the tavern. They had been adventuring in the Frozen City, but the old man had been taken ill and decided to retire. Unfortunately he had waited too long and died in the tavern.

One of his grimoires was found by the young Joriff and he stole it....

I needed a Necromancer for Oathmark, and I thought it would make a change for a war band in Frostgrave.

The figure is built using the Frostgrave Cultist sprue plus some details from the Wizards sprue.

A Crooked Dice Animated Statue.

Love the statue, that paint job really works well

Did you start with a brown base coat and dry brush, or add a wash?

Ultravanillasmurf · « **Reply #54 on:** January 09, 2021, 12:50:13 PM »

Thanks.

The figure and base were undercoated with Plasticote Rust effect spray paint, followed by Halford Grey and a dusting of Citadel Corax White. Then copious amounts of Citadel Agrax Earthshade.

I was going to dry brush it, but decided that it looked okay as is.

That's interesting - I wouldn't have thought of starting off with a metal, but it really does give a nice granite-y, stone effect.

I'm sure I've got a can of similar stuff somewhere - I'll have to give it a try!

A great collection various stuff. I particularly like the snake man. I've been considering buying a box of them but I haven't seen many photos of them painted so I was unsure. I think I'll get a box now.

It is entirely for the texture effect (the red and metallic colour is covered by the Halfords grey).

They are nice figures, I am not sure if they will fit comfortably on a 25mm base.

When I posted this, it showed a warning that the topic has not been posted for 120 days. My last post was in January - must move some of the Frostgrave stuff forward...

Okay, for the first Frostgrave II supplement, I needed some berserkers types (Blood Berserkers? must look it up).

Warlord plastic Celt with a Frostgrave Barbarian head.

The gap between the head and the body was filled with Greenstuff.

I think I need at least another five. I might have them finished this decade....
