Finally finished preparing all my models for painting. They are a mix of;

Anvil Industries (Resin Warhounds), North Star/Osprey Frostgrave (Metals), North Star/Osprey Frostgrave Soldiers Box Set (Plastics), Games Workshop Bretonnian Peasant Bowmen (Plastics), Gripping Beast Viking Hirdmen (Plastics), Gripping Beast Saxon Thegns (Plastics) and Fireforge Games Templar Infantry (Plastics).

I'm going to put a limit on how many of each type of soldier a Warband can contain, simply to reduce the amount of mini's I'm going to have to paint.



Also, whilst I'm slowly continuing on with all my 4Ground Ruins of Daldorr pieces, I've started this. It is made up from the Battlefield in a Box Ruins and I'm going to fill in the gaps between the pieces with rubble and then paint it all in the same colours that I have painted my other ruins. There's going to be a yet-to-be-determined statue in the middle.

Looks like a god centerpiece there. Ruins which had a clear civic pre-ruin purpose and aren't just houses/inns/shops always do it for me.

I finished off another set of ruins, made some progress on the circular ruins using the Battlefield-in-a-Box stuff (still haven't decided on a statue for the centre), and started on two more sets using some Pegasus stuff.

That is going to be a great looking table. Are you making baseboards or using one of the snow terrain mats?

What are you using for the snow effects?

This is indeed awesome..needs some hastily constructed walkways between some of those corners though!

Thanks guys.

@ Robh - At the moment, I'm using a cloth with a full snow print on it. It's not exactly what I want though. If someone came out with a half flagstone/half snow covered 4' x 4' mat, I'd be all over it, but I won't hold my breath. I think what I will end up doing is making my own board - 4 lots of 2' x 2' boards I can piece together and on that I will have a flagstone/cobblestone pattern with areas covered by snow...I think this would suitably represent portions of Frostgrave.

@ Drachenklinge -  I'll take a pic of all the terrain together once I get a few more pieces done.

@ SBMiniaturesGuy - I'm using Woodland Scenics Soft Flake Snow mixed into a paste with PVA glue.

@ Elbows - I'll definitely be making some upper level walkways at some stage down the track.

I also note that 4Ground are announcing the next Ruins of Daldorr kit, next week. I've got a fairly strong feeling it is going to be a ruined tower of some sort...I hope so. They also just released some more ruined houses which I've bought a couple sets of to add to my current collection.

3'x3' rather than 4'x4' but Cigarbox have a lovely looking mat aimed at Frostgrave players:

Thanks for the link mate, much appreciated.

I did see this mat, and very nearly bought the 6'x4' version, however I just didn't like the tracks/creeks and the blue cracks along the surface as well as the grass. If it was just the two elements - snow and cobblestone - I would definitely have grabbed it. I ended up going with their full snow mat instead.

I'm going to see if Deep Cut Studio will take their own Cobblestone pattern and whack a heap of snow across it in big patches...that on one of their mousepad material mats at 4'x4' would be perfect I reckon.
