Title: Dan does Frostgrave
Post by: Dan on October 10, 2015, 11:17:59 PM: Hello strangers :D I have been neglecting this forum for awhile so thought I'd add my view on Frostgrave.

I have painted a Necromancers Warband which uses some old and some new figures. I was going to use some Black Tree and GW Wraiths for a Victorian (IHMN) project but that stalled. The Wraiths fit this Warband perfectly if you ignore them as actually being dead :o
The painting turned out to be very dark which did not photograph well. I also did up some old GW ruins.

Some old GW and Bob Murch monsters are on my painting bench right now. I intend to paint up a Sigilists Warband up next which should be a bit more colourful.

I was also thinking of reusing the Monsters for a Victorian English setting as I have a few figures left unpainted for that project.
On the other hand I could do an Eastern setting as I have painted The Black Dragon Tong and could use my Hopping Vampires and Terracotta Zombies for that as well. o_o

Post by: Dan on October 19, 2015, 09:40:45 AM: Hi all. Sorry this forum moves along too fast for me these days to keep up with.

The flesh was done with a very dark base with lots of Ivory colours mixed in. I cannot remember what colours I used even though it was just a couple of weeks ago. :( I had to go over and over the two plastic figures quite a few times as there was not really much detail to work with.

I have painted some monsters which turned out were not sculpted by Bob Murch after all. Andrew Chernak sculpted them plus I did some old GW figures and a Copplestone ghost got a bit of extra work done to it as it had an old paint job.

I also painted a Grenadier Dragon for my Black Dragon Tong but forgot to include it in the photos, sorry I explained things a bit better on the Blog >:D I have just started to strip some paint off some more of the old Grenadier figures for my next batch of painting.
