Frostgrave Chaos Cultist

[Nachtbringer240]

Now, I know that I'm not alone in the wide world of wargaming to think when the Frostgrave Cultists were released that they'd make brilliant Chaos Cultists.

I bought one of the single frames from North Star a little while back for a Game of Thrones project I'm working on (that will appear later on, trust me), but I only used two of the bodies, so that left me with three left over bodies, and I also had a box of Cadian Shock Troops lying around too, so I put two and two together.

Sizewise, the Cultist bodies are close enough in scale to the Cadian bodies, although the body I chose is a bit lower because of his posing. The arms fit up nicely to create a nice dynamic pose for him. The body is plain enough that you can really paint the clothing as belonging to nearly any sort of environment/group/whatever you can think of, and I do like the capirote since it will always have that unknowable vibe to it. If I had planned it better in advance (or had more money earlier in the year), I would have ordered some of the heads from tabletop-art.de with the gasmasks. Hindsight, eh?

If I do any more, I'll either use the arms from the Genestealer cultists kits, or the arms and guns from the Renegade Militia Weapons kit, or the arms and guns from Victoria Miniatures or Mad Robot Miniatures to create a seriously disparate force.

My only real critique, and it's mainly because of my own folly, is that I could only attach the ammo pouches and grenade to the model instead of them and the other accouterments I had in mind.

Now, sadly, I'm having to do this a copy and paste job since apparently all of my photos of the model are too large for Lead Adventure to accept, and I have no idea how to get them smaller.

Looks good, I think most of the frostgrave lines could be turned into sci fi characters.
The new crewmen could be space pirates or scum from a hot planet,
The barbarians could be from a cold planet or early space wolves?
And the gnolls with guns be beastmen.

Not some bad ideas. I had the idea of the crewmen maybe being low level Necromunda/Hive Gangs... gangers.

Oh, very possibly.

That looks good.

I’ve considered using them as Fenrisian tribesmen.

When you preview your post you'll see the pic markup contains a horizontal and vertical size. Just edit it to the size you want. I often resize my pics to a half or third their original.

I must have done something wrong then since that didn't pop up.

I'm drowning in Cadian arms after building my Saurian army, they're yours if you can pay postage.

Great concept, I kitbashed my cultists with Warlord WWII Winter Uniform Soviets for my cultists, the sprue really has a lot of potential.

That... that is a very generous offer.

I thought about seeing if I could use their heads and other stuff for some feral looking finhret highlander guardsmen.

You could download a free app called "PIXresizer" - works a treat.  Cheers, GDonk

I shall look into that. Thank you very much for the advice.

So I took another crack at building another Frostgrave Chaos Cultist. Again, Frostgrave body and head with Cadian arms and equipment.
I also finally managed to figure out what to call these guys: The Pale Ones. Crunchwise:
 "A force of cultists picked up from a hive world attacked by the Children, which overthrew the Imperial government in a bloody coup. They devote themselves body and soul to assisting the followers of Nurgle, maintaining the myriad of weapons, armour and vehicles in the mighty capital ship, Exitium Vitae."

Also, a HUMONGOUS thanks to Gdonk to point me at PIXresizer, which greatly helped me with resizing these photos.
