AxolotlQuestion's Exploration of Felstad

[AxolotlQuestions]

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.

super stuff

  awesome!!!

[AxolotlQuestions]

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.

Brrr! They look cold. Great work on these.

[AxolotlQuestions]

Cheers, it's been a real learning experience!

[Bloggard]

you've really nailed the 'snow'. Brilliant.

[AxolotlQuestions]

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.

  way cool...rockin it old school!!!

[AxolotlQuestions]

Painted up a couple of members for my new warband.

[Little Odo]

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?

[AxolotlQuestions]

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.

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.
