Love the tiled flooring! Where did you get the designs from? Very effective

Thanks. The tiles are nicked from online catalogues of encaustic cement tiles. I made wallpapers out of them and printed them on thick, semi-gloss paper. If there's any interest I could upload them on my blog.

I updated my plog with some designs for the tile floors. Feel free to use them or steal the idea.  :D

Thanks for sharing the tile sheets - they could come in very handy, either for Frostgrave style ruins, or even for the floors of IHMN victorian style houses.

These are old Grenadier skeletons, done by Mark Copplestone. These were among the last releases before Grenadier closed down. They, strangely, come with slot bases. I really like them for their exotic Libyan/Cartagen appearance. Not undead versions of existing models, but skeletons from a faraway land. The spots on the leopard skin are sculpted.

In the meanwhile, I've been seen around in this silly shirt, from Johnny 'Prison Pit' Ryan.

I've dug up my old Mordheim possessed gang. I think with the Frostgrave rules I can easily use these as a Summoner's warband.
All classic Citadel Miniatures by Jes Goodwin and some conversions.


A sorceror Summoner with Imp and Demon.


the boar counts as a dog and the second possessed would be a demon too. I think other wizards can actually try to get control over any demon.

Today I got these splendid young ladies in the mail. My daughters insist their names are Elsa and Anna. I wouldn't know.

That's a pretty nice take on some old classic figs. The 2 conversions are ace! I see a Skaven Halberd and an Elf head on a Beastman's body. Works out great ( especially since all the donor models are Goodwins  :D ).
Great choice of colours too, I probably will nick the skin tone of the archer of yours
Love em  :-*....

In this topic wee see nice and clever ways to use or recycle classic minis ! That will be the strength of this game with no doubt, the fact it's supported by an official range of minis but also generic enough so we can use a lot of our collection pieces. I really like games designed like this.

I completely agree that is one of the draws of the game for me, maybe even one of the most. Even though I will be getting some of the official Frostgrave miniatures I also plan to use this game as an excuse to paint up random warbands of eclectic models I have laying about in the house. I am also planning to introduce the game after I get the hang of it to a few friends who have never tried miniature gaming before but are very interested in the hobby.

Me too ! I also bought Lion Rampant for the same purpose.
