Hello all
I am new but a long time admirer of these boards. I have just got back into the hobby after a 12 year absence and am blown away by some of the innovation in mini painting since I left off.
Frostgrave has got my attention as a good entry level project to get me back in, low cost and easy to learn rules. I thought I'd create a log here to store my development and show (hopefully) an improvement in painting skills (my main aim other than having a laugh). Please throw in any hints/tips you have.
So the idea I had for my band is going to be centered on an enchanter wizard. He is a member of the 'Masons Metaphysic', a mysterious group focused on magic infused architecture. My main guy (name tbc) has taken along a retinue to Frostgrave to learn the secrets of its lost architecture and bring back as many blueprints (treasure tokens) as he can.
My first crack of block painting the figures is done. I just need to do the highlighting and finish the bases. Not sure whether to go for snow (I'm late to the party right, the snow has probably melted!) or not. Fine detail on the faces is also going to be a challenge!
Once these chaps are done, next up is my half-orc body guard (man-at-arms) proxy and the young apprentice:
Thanks
Z
