Anatoli's Frostgrave project (monsters added 2015-08-12)
« on: August 03, 2015, 06:14:07 PM »
Got talked into Frostgrave by a friend down at the club, so I am giving the game a try. So far we have played a single game, and I have painted up my starting warband. I have additional miniatures and some undead creatures left to be built/painted. I will post my first impressions of the game in my next Frostgrave related post on my  blog, suffice to say that I was not entirely enthusiastic about the game but am slightly optimistic after our first fight down at the club. Though there are a bunch of things that I fear may have a negative impact on replayability/long term fun - such as heavy focus on hauling treasures off the table in each scenario and long term balance issues between successful and unsuccessful/unlucky warbands to mention a few.
The main strength of the game is so far the magic, which is open ended enough to allow your wizard class to explore various options beyond his school of magic. I will write more about the later as I told Fredric that we need to play a bunch of games before I can pass judgment on the campaign system.

My warband so far is made up of a :

Wizard & Apprentice (Witch school of magic - which in Frostgrave seems to lean towards Druid type powers)
1 Thief
1 Crossbowman
1 Archer
2 Men at Arms
2 Infantrymen


Check my blog for more pictures of the warband and individual characters:

Oh, VERY pretty!

I like the tree and the lobster on the shields - freehand or transfer?

Great choice of colours.especially like the way you've used different colours to mark your more professional soldiers from the rest I'm copying that idea thanks for sharing

Some more models that I painted up for a game played this weekend, an imp, frost giant, skeleton and zombie.

More pictures of them all can be found on my blog:
