I haven't, mainly because I really didn't enjoy Frostgrave.

Yeah, the basic mechanics are from FG. The major improvement (at least IMO) is that all your characters can develop, as opposed to just the Wizard and Apprentice (Heritor and Warden).

Can I ask who makes that great kraken model?

Another game Suggestion:
Dragon Rampant or Songs of Blades and Heroes. Both excellent engines giving smooth gaming without having to look up rules in books too often.
I like those best für casual gaming and for presentations at fairs and conventions, too.

btw:
Your minis look fantastic!
Have to Paint my Massive Darkness Monsters, too!

(blows dust off)

Been a while...been crushing other hobby projects (amassing obnoxiously large armies for 40K even though I don't play very often). However, with a new abundance of free time (much to my chagrin) I will be renewing my efforts to develop a dungeon crawl to make use of my growing box of misfit toys.

To that end, I found a sprue of GW skeletons I'd quite forgotten I owned and slapped some together last night - to add to the lovely Underworld ones from the previous page.

I will be doing more fantasy minis over the next few months, excited to see what I have left hiding.

PS: Nothing like dip to show you the sprue joint you missed when cleaning minis...of course.

I love the colors on the Skeletons from the last couple pages. That blue really goes well with the yellowy white of the bones.

Thanks, it was inspired by randomly buying the blue colour (oddly I think it's called "Dark Blue Pale" or something from Vallejo). I agree it works a treat with the bronzes and bone colours.

Those turned out really well!

It's from the Conan boardgame.

Loving these skeletons. I must get some more skeletons I feel I have an obligation to collect them considering they were my first WFB army.

The Underworlds ones were top notch (in my opinion). More ornate obviously, but sadly only seven isn't enough for a dungeon crawl encounter so I rounded it to 12 using the other ones. I think I could figure out a couple more if I dug around on that sprue (I had previously used it for some other model stuff).

I got halfway through some goblins tonight but Christmas pudding they're tiny (Tre Manor reaper ones). Not sure if I'll survive. My eyesight isn't what it used to be.

I have some Redbox Tre Manor goblins. They are super small. When I based them on 20mm bases they looked like GW goblins based on 25's (thinking scale wise compared to the base) Very nice goblins though and I actually like the titchyness of them. Makes them look more mischievous.
I might have to spring for those Underworld ones before they go OOP.

I have the Underworlds Barbarian set inbound as well - got it with an eBay gift card, so a nice little set of minis for free!

Lovely work on those skellies

Elbows · « **Reply #58 on:** May 30, 2019, 09:36:17 AM »

Tried six of the twelve (Tre Manor) Reaper Goblins I picked up. Sadly when I bought them I didn't know how small they were...and my aren't good enough for this kind of thing. I'll try to do the other six, but I'm really not feeling these guys - despite enjoying the aesthetic.

Elbows · « **Reply #59 on:** June 06, 2019, 12:36:22 AM »

The other six..and I enjoyed these even less (the archers being even smaller with more details). I almost gave up on them, but now they're done and I can move on and forget about goblins for a bit. These would have been marvelous had they been about 20-30% larger. Tre Manor is a great sculptor but he doesn't sculpt to help the painter much!
