Each of the Frostgrave scenarios has different terrain, objective marker, and sometimes monster requirements. I'd like to break them down, and then discuss aquiring and bulding appropriate models for each.
I already have notes for all the missions, and pictures of terrain I have worked on for each scenario, and will update this thread as time allows me to.
I look forward to updating this post as the thread progresses.
Mausoleum
(http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/11/12/756979_mb-.JPG) (http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/756979-.html?m=2)
- A building, at least 6 inches long on each side, to represent the Mausoleum itself.
- 6 Treasure Tokens, pretty standard part of a Frostgrave Terrain Collection
- 6+ Skeletons. You're going to deploy 4 at the beggining of the game and 1 additional each turn of the game. You will be able to recycle skeleton models as they are destoyed during the game.
Genie in Bottle
- No specific Terrain.
- 6 Treasure Tokens
- Genie Model. The Genie is unique that he is the only monster in the Frostgrave Rulebook that is not included in the Bestiary.
The Silent Tower
- The Tower - a 10" tower with with 3 levels, and 2 additional buildings, with connecting walk ways, adjacent to it, to serve as additional entry points.
- 5 Treasure Tokens
- No Bestiary Requirement
The Library
(http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/10/25/753115_mb-Library%20D%26amp%3BD%20terrain%20Frostgrave.JPG) (http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/753115-Library%20D%26amp%3BD%20terrain%20Frostgrave.html?m=2)
- While the Library scenario can be played with straegically placed standard terrain, it is best if you have a collection of dungeon walls and bookshelves.
- 4 exit points, ideally doorways of some sort.
- 6 Treasure Tokens
- No Bestiary Requirement

The Living Museum
(http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/10/13/750361_mb-.JPG)
- 4 Walls, to serve as the remains of the museum
- 6 Statues, nothing too big, as theses will animate and attack as medium constructs
- 6 Treasure Tokens
The living Museum has to be the biggest meat grinder of all the basic scenarios. 6 treasures, all within 12" of each other, guarded by 6 constructs. To get the treasure, you not only have to fight the constructs, but you are most certainly going to stumble across the other Wizard's forces, at very short range.
The Worm Hunt
- No specific Terrain.
- 6 Treasure Tokens
- Giant Worm models. I don't believe there is an official model yet.
DMScotty's simple to follow tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzLSXMgzWpk) to make your own.
Reaper Miniatures has an inexpensive suitable model (http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/bones%20worm/latest/77006)
- 100XP to any warband that slays a Giant Worm
The Haunted Houses
- 6 small stone huts, with open roofs
- 6 Treasure Tokens
- 0-6 Wraiths
Check for Wraiths upon first entering each hut. Place Wraith against back wall on a 16-20.
25% chance per hut, 6 huts, spawns an average of 2 Wraiths per encounter.
50XP per Wraith destroyed by wizard's warband
The Well of Dreams and Sorrows
- 6 Treasure Tokens
- No Bestiary Requirement
- 1 piece of well terrain. There is no size requirement, but the image on the adjacent page has a well inches across, with no top, and not of the variety Timmy would be prone to fall into.
- 100XP to any Wizard who spends an action to drink from well.
- Any model pushed into well is removed from play, treated as killed

- 6 Treasure Tokens (1 on each pad, 2 remaining in center of board)
- No Bestiary Requirement
- 4 2" disks, placed in a cross formation, each 12" away from board center, to serve as teleportation pads.
Once per mission, each Wizard can earn 50XP for teleporting from one pad to another.
The Complex Temple
- 6 Treasure Tokens
- No Bestiary Requirement
- 6 Columns, that animate when attacked

re: Silent Tower
I'm a bit unsure about playing interiors with a 3+ level tower. Things could get pretty busy on multiple levels. I found a Thundercats Tower of Omens at an indoor flea market. Am thinking about changing "tower" to "obelisk" and building exterior scaffolding for model placement. I guess if the tower is ruined enough to reach in without unstacking the levels to play...
IMO, this is the coolest scenario but the most difficult to realize on the tabletop.
-
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I look forward to watching your progress.
I've just watched the giant worm tutorial, it looks really good, as do some of his other tutorials. Thanks for the link
-
The silent tower does seem to have the most demanding setup requirements, but yeah, it's a pretty cool concept for a scenario. It's pretty much a great oppertunity to make a nice big centerpiece.
DMScotty has a lot of great vids, and he pretty much adds new content every week. Eventually, I'll get around to making one of those worms myself.
Thank you for the feedback.
-
Some useful tips from this video. It is for a Library encounter in D&D, but there are a lot of tips that could for for Frostgrave's library scenario.
https://youtu.be/U44sPc4JA_E

Thank you for sharing the video.
Similar videos you will want to watch if building a library are:
Hallweenville's How to scratch Build Bookshelves (https://youtu.be/It8kqqcg88Y)
Hallweenville's How to scratch Build Scrools and books (https://youtu.be/0Bgr7WsKEiA)
which were expanded upon from
DMGinfo's Crafting Dungeon tiles and items series (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLw-XImXo4zfOKxI_NWJpESKHiX71yyLXU)
There is a tons of useful crafting info in those videos, although they are a bit more centered around making dungeon terrain than ancient ruins, the techniques they illustrate can be quite useful.
-
Good videos!!! I'm looking for bookshelves and some potions/scrolls...
-
I think those videos are invaluable since I think Frostgrave is going in that direction anyway!
-
I was adding notes for The Well of Dreams and Sorrows scenario and I remembered a video on fountain making that would be helpful for anyone lloking for ideas on how to make a larger well.

I got onto World Works Games to see if they had any bookcases in their props when I realized that I already had one of their fantasy sets with a bookcase prop.
If anyone has bought WWG sets in the past, I'd suggest checking your sets to see if you already have bookcases. 2D is good enough for me for something I need a lot of, but only use for a single scenario.
-
Great suggestion !
It's funny you mentioned it because I've found various papercraft bookshelves from different artists/manufacturers in my archives, but I was holding off mentioning them until I had built a few and took some pictures.
If you go to boardgamegeek (https://boardgamegeek.com/image/1032479/macericg) you can find a free printable version of the Heroquest bookshelf.

I'll eventually add some pics of 5" long book shelves I'm making from popsicle sticks that I was going to attach to 6" ruined walls.

-
Are you sure you need 6 wraiths for the Haunted House scenario? I thought you roll for the wraith only once (when someone enters the building for the first time).
Otherwise thanks for useful overview :)

I just read the scenario. It's 6 huts and potentially a wraith in each one.
-
Wraith in hut on a 16-20, so a 25% chance per hut, 6 huts, so it's technically 0-6 with an average of 2.
I'll add that to the scenario description
-
re: Silent Tower
I'm a bit unsure about playing interiors with a 3+ level tower.
The tower doesn't actually need to have interiors, it just needs to be 3 stories and 10" tall.
I think the point of mentioning the stories is so that you include something at each level that a miniature can stand on, as no one should be able to scale it in single move, and all magic is nullified on anyone in contact with any of the 3 buildings.
-
For the columns in the Complex Temple I use Marks and Spencer wedding cake pillars.
Paid about £5 for 4 (3 inches high) but as they are made of plaster you can easily cut them in half for your 6 pillars plus 2 left over for scatter terrain, plinths for statues etc.
Much better than the hard plastic pillars as you can smash the plaster ones up good and proper for ruined terrain :)
For the well/fountain I use the Airfix 1/72 City Fountain which is a single resin piece and just the right size I think. For other scenarios the fountain just pulls duty as regular terrain so I get full use out of it.
-
Nice find NoobLord !

Thanks for sharing the YouTube links, some really interesting vids. I've made two bookshelves full of books and potion bottles after watching them, and am sure to build more scenery bits in the near future to decorate my games.

I've been scratchbuilding most of the buildings. The Wizard's Tower for me was actually the easiest. I originally cut 6 equal panels of foamcore, approximately 10" long and 3" wide. I cut windows into the panels and then I beveled the sides to connect. Unfortunately,I miscalculated the angle of the bevel and ended up building a pentagon shaped tower instead of a hex shaped tower. Maybe fortunately, as it actually looks better as a pentagon. I glued the panels together and let the whole thing dry. Then I cut a portion of the tower wall out to "ruin" it and open it up for game play. I'm working on putting some ruined floors in as well.
The Monk's huts and the accompanying wraiths - well, the huts are simple to build and I'm getting 6 Reaper Bones' ghosts figs for the wraiths.
The Mausoleum is another scratch build and I picked up a box of wargames factory's skeletons to build up for the scenario and random encounters. It also comes with lots of bits I can use for decorating.
-
Those shelves came out great Tyrion.
Digitari, do you have any pics of the pentagon ?
-
Last night, started working on a Silent Tower, and ended up with this
(http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/10/20/751979_mb-Silent%20Tower%20WIP.JPG) (http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/751979-Silent%20Tower%20WIP.html?m=2)
-
Great start, that looks really interesting and definitely accessible at each level. Thanks for sharing
-
Digitari, do you have any pics of the pentagon ?
Unfortunately, no. My computer died last week and I can only access the LAF from work right now. The Tower is still in process, so I'll dig out my camera and get some pics.

Reaper Miniatures has an inexpensive suitable model (http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/bones%20worm/latest/77006)
- 100XP to any warband that slays a Giant Worm
I do not know the scale but I think this worm is a lot nicer. I have just ordered it just for this scenario but not received yet
http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/77183/sku-down/77183
-
Giant worms aren't actually all that giant in Frostgrave, they don't have the Large special rule, so while I like both those Reaper worms I thought they were too big for Frostgrave. I've gone with these (http://heresyminiatures.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_12_51&products_id=73) from Heresy.

I agree this one seems to be a bit of meet grinder its also a great scenario for a solo game, especially if you throw in some other wandering monsters.
-
Had enough pieces left over that I decided to make another one.
(http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/10/21/752234_mb-Silent%20Towers%20WIP.JPG) (http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/752234-Silent%20Towers%20WIP.html)

I hadn't noticed the worms not being "large" in the rules. Tremors, Dune, and D&D have ingraned the image of them being able to swallow people whole into my head. The larger model makes them easier to draw line of sight to, but other than that, I don't believe there is any game mechanic difference, so I think this is a situation where personal prefernce will come into play.
Those Heresy slugs are creepy looking though. If I saw one of them, I would want to fry it with an Elemental Bolt immediately.
-
Looking very nice Adam. That second one with a connecting bridge would serve as one of the adjoining building giving another point of entry for the main tower. Thanks for sharing
-
You can never get enough bookshelves for the library scenario , so I built 20 more book cases over the last 2 days.
(http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/10/25/753115_mb-Library%20D%26amp%3BD%20terrain%20Frostgrave.JPG) (http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/753115-Library%20D%26amp%3BD%20terrain%20Frostgrave.html?m=2)
Cardstock book shelves are detailed and easy to build, but flimsy.
Wooden bookshelves are sturdier and have a better feel, but they are a pain to fill with tiny details.
These are a hybrid. Wooden frames with cardstock details printed and mounted to foam core.
I found 3 printable book case images and reworked them into 10
(http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc161/Centinull/th_Bookcases%2010%20fronts_zps41mb7x9f.jpg) (http://s218.photobucket.com/user/Centinull/media/Bookcases%2010%20fronts_zps41mb7x9f.jpg.html)
The bookshelves images are 2"x3".
I printed them, mounted them to foam core, cut them out, and then glued popsicle sticks to make the frames around them.
-
That's an impressive amount, ideal to fill the needs of the library scenario. Good compromise between sturdiness and speed/ease of making. Thanks for sharing
-
Love those books I have pinned them and intend to use them (with due credit given to their creator). Thank you for sharing.
-
Those book shelves... are an excellent idea! And 2*3 is about the perfect size!
-
Thank you guys for the kind words.
I get a little OCD with my gaming ideas sometimes, as I'm still considering making another 20 bookshelves that are mounted to ruined walls for the Library scenario.
Don't get me wrong, I love the way these came out, but all my wall sections have rubble that won't allow me to put these up against them.
-
The fountain scenario is a fun one and since I made this fountain and it cost me about 50 cents I think it works!
-
Beautifully done fountain.
Foam core base, dollar store gargoyle, beads held in place with pins, thin plastic card and hot glue ? Pillar is a large bead or wooden craft store spindle ?
I will definitely keep your well's design in mind when I get around to making my own.
-
Thanks Adam! Ya that piece was seriously a moment of whimsy when I needed a fountain for a Gothic Horror game. I didn't have any money to spend and I had the pieces in my junk drawer. 50 cents!
-
Very nicely done and so cheaply, wow. Thanks for sharing
-
Excellent fountain. Great water painting.

Good ones! With (very little) work, you can move (or swap) pieces (books, jars, the candle) between bookcases for further variants! (with simple Paint program is very easy)

Cleared 530 XP !!! It was pretty insane.
-
If was one of the players first game of Frostgrave, so we all kind of agreed to an uneasy truce that we would concentrate on the treasures and not just murder each other.
Everyone managed to avoid each other early on, and concentrate on battling skeletons, until there was only one treasure left. Though expeditious use of the Leap spell, I had hopped thugs and archers onto four separate treasures. Then threw up a wall spell to create a barrier between the opposing forces and my own. While I was madly leaping around, between battling skeletons, the other three wizards all made for the final treasure. We had placed a dozen treasures, and I had already grabbed four of them, so I didn't want to contest the last, but they did. Trash talking lead to threats of force, and the most experienced wizard soon found himself on the receiving end of an assault on two fronts. The new player had managed to get four archers into a spot overlooking the final treasure, and his archers aim was true that night. They felled three of the enemy before he they gave up and retreated, but not without the fleeing wizard unleashing bone darts on anything he could see.
My forces were down to the Wizard, his apprentice, and a trained giant spider (war hound), that had gotten lost in the terrain, and I had completely forgotten about. My Spider fell victim to a bone dart, before the cowardly wizard fled. Angered that the truce had been broken, my Wizard noticed that the dastardly villain had fled nearer to the table edge but at the perfect angle for my wizard to see his apprentice though a collapsed wall. Gathering his fury at the betrayal of the truce and being attacked unprovoked , my wizard unleashed an Elemental Bolt of immense magnitude that removed the apprentice from the fray.
2 Standard Treasures @ 50Xp
2 Scenario Treasures @ 70Xp
1 Wizard removing Apprentice from play @ 80XP
16 Successfully cast spells @ 10Xp
1 Absorb Knowledge @ 50Xp

Do you guys use the official treasure tokens, or do you make your own ?
I recently made these, and it was a lot of fun.

Nice additions they all look great. I use the northstar tokens that I got with the nickstarter but yours look nice too. Thanks for sharing

I missed the first Nickstarter, and I just don't like to pay for something I can make myself. The official ones do look good. I'd probably pick them up if I could score a good deal on them.

4. The Storm of Undeath
Can your warband survie the elements and loot the treasure while avoiding getting struck by lightning ?
Setup: 12" open square in the center of the board with only treasures and the remains of a previous warband
Special Rules: The snowstorm reduces visibility and incurs penalties to all ranged attacks, magic or otherwise.
After the first few turns there is chance of a lightning strike in the opening. Anyone caught in the opening during the lightning strike suffers an attack from the lightning.
Soldiers killed by the lighting become revenants, and all the skeletons in the square animate and attack.
Treasure and XP:
10XP for defeating a skeleton
20Xp for defeating a revenant
20XP for the Wizard entering the sqaure after the lightning strike
50XP for a Wizard who was in the sqaure during the lightning strike
