Argonor's Attempts on Frostgrave

[Argonor]

Well, as Frostgrave doesn't seem to fit in my other threads, I think I just have to start a new one.

Duregar and I shared a Level 5 and level 1 Nickstarter deal (to get 2 rulebooks with treasure counters and plenty of wizards to go around):



Then I set about unearthing some age-old minis to use (funnily enough, they all seem to be of Citadel origin):





And we ordered, and received, a big box of ruins from Ziterdes:



In the meantime I got an idea regarding an alternative build of a Thaumaturge warband, and Thus I ordered some minis from West Wind (not yet arrived), and found my plastic Fireforge Templar Infantry and Foot Sergeants:



More to follow. and I'll go into more detail on my blog.

Can't wait to see what you do with the Zitterdes stuff.

[Splod]

Looks like you're off to a flying start!

Looking forward to seeing how the ruins turn out too

[Argonor]

Well, the ruins are going to be used as they are, as I want them usable for other settings, too.

I may get some snow flock to sprinkle on when used for Frostgrave, but icicles and permafrost are not going to happen.

I shall probably make some snow pieces (drifts and patches) to place in/among the ruins along the way, though.

And I just realized that some of the old minis are, indeed, not Citadel, but Metal Magic. Shouldn't be posting at these late hours...

That metalmagic wizard on the top left is quite brilliant. I have one painted up for Song Of Blades and Heroes.

Looking forward to seeing where this goes. Allready off to a good start.

Thanks, he was painted as representing an evil player character wizard I had participating in my D&D campaign many yeaers ago. The thief was actually his younger brother, but now the model is going to represent an apprentice 

The table terrain test:



And some models I am working on:

2' x 2'? The table looks spot on to me. Nice and claustrophobic.

Nope, it's 3x3 

I intend to make some pieces of 'snow terrain' to place in and among the ruins, which will probaly enable us to switch to a 4x4 table for games with multiple warbands, but it may take a while before I get around to that.

[Ray Earle]

Bloody hell.  That's even more impressive then.

Thanks - ordered some models from Ziterdes to bring my collection of ruins up to this size - have been needing an excuse for that in ages

Foul tempter!  Those ruins look really nice...

They are made of lightweight dense foam - which means they can easily be customized, if one should find it necessary to buy several copies of the same sculpt.

I don't think I shall need to do so, but should the need arise, it is nice to have that option!

[affun]

Table looks good.

Some walkways might be nice: To get some 3d action to the games. Either way, that's another terrain-set I look forward to taking a look at at the Attic Attack

Ziterdes belongs to (is associated with?) the German modeltrain-terrain manufacturer NOCH. Their terrain is very good for putting on the table at once without much ado. Though a bit on the expensive side, they are also a good point to start with when making it more suitable for ones special needs.

Ziterdes scenery is also sold by Thomarillion, should they be easier to order from.
