Title: iPaint's Frosty Excursion to the Ruined City of Frostgrave
Post by: iPaint on 08 September 2015, 09:37:36 PM: Frostgrave is next on the club's To-Game list, so here's the WIP of my fledgling band. It's just missing a Warhound, which will come from a Zombicide Zombie Dog when I get around to fishing it out of storage.

Necromancer, Apprentice, Treasure Hunter, Warhound, 3 Archers, and 3 Thugs. Should be fun to get these painted. I still need to add some more greenstuff fur here and there.

I also went ahead and put together a few extra models, but hopefully shouldn't need 'em yet. Also ordered some Warhammer Fantasy Bretonnian bits - first GW model purchase I've made in over 4 years.

Archers

Just need three more washers to finish the bases on a few of them, and then gotta paint up the warhound. Eventually there will be a few more additions, but this will work for now.

Very nicely done.

Post by: Daniel36 on 06 January 2016, 07:37:02 AM: For all my heroes and beasties I just use the "official" colour schemes, because I like them, but I felt the henchmen paint jobs are too bright. Guess what thread I am opening when I am going to paint the rest of my henchmen?

Nice sculptwork too!

yes, +1 on the muted palette - so atmospheric - and something I wish I could get better at, I must say.

Also curious about those hooded heads, source?

Post by: majorsmith on 09 January 2016, 12:05:13 PM: They look really good, especially the bottom 3 figures

Post by: Reed on 10 January 2016, 09:18:16 PM: I have to agree, the muted palette on the soldiers looks totally better than the official scheme (too carnivalesque for me).

Thinking I'm gonna go a bit heavier with the snow for the building, but it's a start.
