Alternatively you could do the Archchacellor, Dean, Bursar, Head of Post Mortem Communications, Lecturer in Recent Runes, or the Chair of Indefinite Studies, Windle Poons (in his wheeled chair) or Ponder Stibbons (in his duffle coat) - then Rincewind would be the Apprentice.

This. From a Frostgrave rules perspective you need a wizard who i quite powerful, and to stay in theme someone from the staff of Unseen University is the obvious, most of all Mustrum Ridcully, the Archchancellor. His boisterous, choleric personality (getting roaring drunk at night just to raise at 6 in the morning to go trout fishing) fits the bill quite nicely.

There are of course other prominent magic users but the do not fit your urban theme as well as the Unseen Achademics.

I have to say that I prefer these to the official figures. They feel more real, while the official ones seem a bit too cartoony.

A fantastic Sybil and Errol! Great work!

One point to note for game use is that you might want to model an individual swamp dragon (perhaps in flight!) as when you have a "Crow Master" (Dragon Foster Mum) in your warband the "Crow" (Swamp Dragon) moves and attacks independently.

Thanks for the motivation.
I've added some better pictures as a sort of recap ( including the two I'm not so sure about.)

I'll make a couple of swamp dragon's to go with her. I was toying with making a separate Errol and increasing the size of the swap dragons a little.

I think I'll probably make Ridcully inspired wizard and may be an alternative in a bath chair as well.

Superb, and so faithful to the 'feel' of the book.

YOU ARE ALL TO BLAME .


Now Because of you I have to make sixteen figures , and very likely half of that again.

On account of them now going to live at Sally 4th.( probably initially as a kickstarter . As thats Chris's preferred method of launching a range.)

Here's what would have been( will be once cast) my wizard option. Not sure now if I should do four wizards for a set or three and the Librarian.
Either way another wizard is required.
