AxolotlQuestion's Exploration of Felstad
« on: February 01, 2021, 09:22:13 PM »
Hello everyone. I got given a copy of the 2nd edition Frostgrave, and while I had put together a warband for 1st edition, I'd never managed to get it to the table.

Here's my warband, put together from a few sprues of the North Star kits, as well as a guest appearance by a couple of veterans from the Old World, sat on a piece of GF9's battlefield in a box terrain. 




Given the lockdown I had plenty of time on my hands, so I decided to make putting together a table my first project of 2021.

I had some Hirst Arts casts sitting around from an aborted plan at an AoS table, so I decided these would form the bulk of my Felstad ruins.

You can see the test piece I put together here.

[


Going forward I'm planning on providing a few updates about my work so far, and the progress I make putting everything together, which I hope will be of interest to everyone here.

Hopefully it won't be too long before I can get a few games in, or at least try some of the solo campaigns.

Thanks all! As I said, I had a bunch of the Hirst Arts pieces so I've done quite a few of these pieces. There's also some scatter terrain, made from the old GW arcane ruins and some Scotia Grendel resin pieces.

I've also been repurposing some old GW stuff to help fill out the bestiary.

I think this snotling makes a passable imp.




A couple of the old goblin wolf rider mounts.




A heroquest zombie brought back into service.

I really like the last two female minis and how you have painted them. I like the rest as well, but these two stand out for me.

Where do they come from?

Thanks! I'm pleased with them too, as I've been trying to push my painting a little more.
The barbarian is from Otherworld Miniatures, and the other one is from Hasslefree Miniatures. Both lovely sculpts with a minimum of clean up needed.

If anyone wants some details as to how I made ruins like these for my Frostgrave board



I've put details of my method here: https://tinyplasticpeople.com/2021/02/founding-felstad-part-1/

Here's a couple of glamour shots of my next two warbands.

Sigilist:



Witch:



From left to right.
Bert, who fancies himself as a ladies man, and is inordinately proud of his moustache.
Isadora Grimsbane, drawn to Felstad by her sense of duty and a desire to combat the forces of evil.
Red, who's taken a few too many blows to the head during his time in Felstad.
"We're all gonna" Dai, known for his lugubrious nature and constant predictions of doom.
