Title: Voyager's Frostgrave stuff [picture heavy]
Post by: Voyager on January 01, 2017, 03:44:24 AM

In this thread I'm going to share with you various miniatures, terrain etc. I've prepared for Frostgrave. I hope you like it. Please, feel free to comment the content or ask any questions. :-)


We will start with this what drives all of us to Frostgrave - the loot! I always considered official loot markers as poor. Come one, one ring, one dagger? Would your RPG character from your teens ever bend to grab it? OK, he/she would because he/she was greedy, but still he/she would very reluctantly. ;-)
Anyway, I've made seven loot tokens. Three on 50mm bases (tokens 1-3) and four on 40mm bases (tokens 4-7). Those are resin pieces from Cursed Fantasy Treasure Terrains kit by Ristul's Extraordinary Market.

Thank you for the kind words. :-)

We will continue with the main protagonists in Frostgrave - the magic users.
At first, we have wizards from the famous company from Nottingham. I do not particularly like them. Of course, they are made of polystyrene, there is quite a bit of assembly options and some cool bits in the kit, but even though, in my opinion they are bland. They lack character.

Miniature/kit name: Empire Battle Wizards

Here we have two remaining human magic users I have painted. The first (and I like this model very much) counts as a Wizard in Frostgrave, whereas the second (also quite a nice model) counts as an Apprentice.

Those two look pretty sweet. I feel they're much better then the two GW Wizards above, where the dip looks a little odd to me.

And here we have three more adventurers by Otherworld Miniatures - an archer, a bard, and a thief. While I generally like those sculpts, the problem with all Otherworld humans is their... size. The are huge! I mean, they are certainly not 28mm miniatures, but rather 32mm heroic scale miniatures. They dwarf almost every 28mm human and comparing them with proper 32mm miniatures the 'heroic' proportions of Otherworld minis are clearly visible. Oh, well... :-)

Thanks for all the comments guys. It really gives me the motivation to work further! :-)

We carry on with some demons I've prepared so far - Imps and Minor Demon.

Excellent thread here Voyager!

I love seeing different manufacturer's minis visiting Felstad.

Your painting style is really nice, gritty but still very colorful.

My take on Fire-Flingers and Small Construct.

Miniature/kit name: Dwarf War Automatons and Controller (02-041)
Manufacturer: Ral Partha Europe
Material: metal
Notes: The kit contains 5 identical automaton figures and one dwarf controller figure. I've converted 4 automatons by cutting their left hands and putting scratch built "fire throwers" (made of polystyrene rods and profiles; supposed to be simple, quick, and easy to replicate conversion). The 5th automaton remained unchanged (see below). The dwarf feed the vast "to be sometime done" collection.

What a bunch of elicit miniatures, thats why I love Frostgrave, you can use just about any fantasy, medivial model in the game, and as long as they are armed as per the soldier, everyone knows what their "class" is.

Title: Re: Voyager's Frostgrave stuff [picture heavy]

Feeling noxious thirst... A Vampire! It's a really cool model. Having this classic feeling, without Gothic mumbo-jumbo.

Miniature/kit name: Acolyte Vampires (GH00005)
Manufacturer: West Wind Productions

The vampire is crisp and clean so there are no distractions from the wonderful job you did on the skin.  A fine looking looking and very classy.  A Hammer film vibe.

My take on Alchemical Monstrosity... or anything that suits the model. :-)

Nice model for the beast.  There were a few nice looking models in the Chainmail range but your paintjob really gave that figure a new lease on life.  The natural tones and unnatural features create a stunning contradiction.

Post by: Voyager on April 10, 2017, 02:49:56 AM

A very cool looking tiger-man model that I just had to paint. I have no idea what should I use it for? A barbarian, a beastcrafter, some sort of enemy? I don't know yet, but I really like the sculpt. :-)

That is neat model and your paint came out really well.  I would definitely use him as a barbarian.

Nice! Yeah, definitely a barbarian - maybe a gnoll barbarian?

Title: Re: Voyager's Frostgrave stuff [picture heavy]
Post by: Ogrob on April 10, 2017, 09:49:17 AM

Make a combat focused beastcrafter and start using this mini at higher levels.

Title: Re: Voyager's Frostgrave stuff [picture heavy]
Post by: Karadek on April 10, 2017, 04:33:49 PM

I like that model!  The paint job is great as well.  Definitely a barbarian of some variety. 

Title: Re: Voyager's Frostgrave stuff [picture heavy]
Post by: Voyager on April 10, 2017, 11:27:43 PM

Thanks for the feedback guys. Indeed, I think the model works the best as a barbarian. However, I do have a human barbarian model in my painting pipeline already. Yet, you can never go wrong with more barbarians in your warband, can you? ;-)
I've been also thinking about beastcrafter warband consisting entirely of animal humanoids / were-animals. That would be neat - fantasy version of Doctor Dolittle. :-) Unfortunately, I've got way too much other things to build and paint (including other cool ideas for Frostgrave warbands), so this particular idea has to wait.

Some bones have arrived! Slowly building monsters for the Thaw of the Lich Lord campaign.
Here we have six Skeletons and four Armoured Skeletons. All come from the really cool GW Skeleton Warriors set.
The last miniature, the champion, will be used as Wraith Knight.

And here's not-Ragnar model acting as a Captain. In my opinion, it's a fantastic sculpt - ordinary human, yet bald and evocative. He knows the business and you certainly don't want to mess with him. ;)
