Title: Old Scores, the story in pictures...
Post by: nicknorthstar on February 21, 2019, 04:04:43 PM
The new Frostgrave book The Wizards' Conclave is out this month, and I've contributed to it by writing one of the scenarios, called Old Scores.

I had got Mr Cubbin to paint a warband especially for it, and now the book is out Kev said 'lets run though it and take pictures, and I'll do a comic strip type AAR.'

You can have a read through here: http://nstarmagazine.com/FROSTGRAVE_CONCLAVE_OLD_SCORES.htm (http://nstarmagazine.com/FROSTGRAVE_CONCLAVE_OLD_SCORES.htm) but if you intend to play it, don't.  lol Save it for afterwards.

Hey, I remember them! I did wonder why you were so specific about the members of the warband and who was equipped with what.

that is just fantastic (have d/loaded the pdf which looks best).

seriously - some of the best figure painting, and best presented (lovely photography too) I've seen.

those dark, chiaroscuro ( ;) ) tones - and the faces - amazing.
even that extreme enlargement of the eye-patch figure's face - it still looks 'natural' - in a painterly way. Quite something.

I think more of this kind of thing (and for GA too) would be great - and including them in the books too.

Very good (aided by the well painted miniatures).

The wizard's party is all the work of Mr Cubbin. I gave him some direction like the twins and & the one-eyed crossbowman, but all the colours are 100% himself. Well done Old Boy.

The gribblies are all painted by Kev Dallimore.
