Title: My Frost Grave warband and some monsters
Post by: Death on October 07, 2015, 04:43:00 AM: At first I was meh on the plastic box set but I have changed my mind and actually love how easy they are to paint! There isnt too much variety with the heads and some of the weapons but its worth it. I loved the summoner models but I also noticed they are a lot bigger than than the plastics probably over 30mm. I had fun painting up the figs for our groups upcoming games...still a lot more to do! Here are just a few I painted up this past month. The Lantern guy with Backpack and missing eye (aka My treasure hunter) is my fave. And I am finally putting some of my GW stuff to good use!

Didn't realize the metal wizards are "out of scale" with the plastic soldiers.

Frostgrave is a great excuse for bringing lots of old figs out of retirement isn't it.

Thanks for sharing

I was planning on removing the inherent bases from the plastic soldiers but now a bit concerned that they might be too short if I do that.

I noticed the difference in scale. When playing it has the advantage that the most important miniature can be easily identified.

Maybe all that exposure to magic makes you grow faster.... ;)

Nice painting...I love the signpost.

Love the colour scheme, summoner. Does look big doesn't he.

Post by: has.been on October 08, 2015, 07:31:49 AM: If any-one is worried with the difference in height (wizards to soldiers) do what I did to my recycled old figures, put a bit of card under them then hide it with :-filler; flock; treasure; skulls etc. When the tops of the heads are about the same, the difference in scale is much less noticeable.
