Title: Building a Frostgrave table - Blog
Post by: TheBrokenCage on August 11, 2015, 01:33:33 PM: Hi everyone,

Frostgrave has prompted me to start a hobby blog. So I've begun tracking my progress at making a Frostgrave table.

I'd love for you guys to pop over and have a look, and drop me a comment on the blog if you can offer any advice or encouragement - hell it's all helpful :)

The blog is found here https://jimmiwazere.wordpress.com/ (https://jimmiwazere.wordpress.com/)

Here's a picture of a house I'm currently working on to hopefully whet your appetite :)

Thanks for reading

Jimmi

~~maybe you could make it an inn called the Hangover House or something like that~~ ;D

I like the house, it looks really Mordheim/Frostgrave!

I have a new post (https://jimmiwazere.wordpress.com/2015/08/12/progress-to-the-frostgrave-table-surface-work-started-on-a-ruined-building/) up on my Frostgrave table progress.

I'm looking for some advice in this one too. Drop me a comment if you fancy sharing your wisdom :)

Then you will only need about half the sections of cast road as you would otherwise - Frostgrave is a ruined city after all.

Hi Robh,

Yeah the board is fully modular. you can change and rotate the main board tiles as you see fit and they'll fit together in many ways.

The houses and any other scenery I make will all be drop terrain, based on a hardboard sheet. you'll then be able to drop this anywhere you like off the street network. Aside form houses and ruins I'm also planning a few things like snow drifts, abandoned carriages, a gallows etc

Ideas are welcome :)

Hope this answers your question. Thanks for looking. if you enjoyed this please visit and like my facebook page for future updates :)
