Frostgrave Cultists, the 2nd box set of plastic figures.

[nicknorthstar]

Here it is, we've been hinting enough about it. The second box set of plastic figures for Frostgrave will be Cultists.

I reckon you would've done better to have a second box set of adventurers/mercenaries, to be honest. I guess with some head swaps and perhaps some other bits and pieces these could still serve as decent thugs.

Lovely artwork!

Hopefully Joe will tell you more about who the Cultists are, but I'll describe the figure frame.

It'll be the same as the first box set, a frame of 5 bodies (not split torsos) with separate heads and weapon arms.

The heads and weapons are all naughty boy type of stuff, trying to look evil, you know what they are like. There are also lots of evil bits, chains and skulls and a vial with something nasty in it etc. This time though there isn't as much arm variant, there are more hand variants. So instead of an arm with a buckler on it, it's just a hand. This requires more modelling that the first set as you'll have to cut a hand off the left arm to glue a different one on.

You will get enough weapons to make two warbands out of the Cultist box set to accompany your evil wizard. But here's the ace thing. All the heads and arms are inter-changeable with box set one. So you can use some of the spare arms from your Soldiers box set to give more variety to your Cultists and vice-versa.

We've cut back on packs and ropes etc in the Cultist box set, but you can of course use the ones you have in box set one.

Is there any more?

Yes

There are 4 undead heads and 3 sets of Undead arms on the frame as well. With these extra bits, you can turn your plastic Soldier or Cultist into a proper Frostgrave Skeleton or Zombie!

We only have the 3ups (figures 3 times 28mm if you didn't know) right now, so we can't show you the figures yet. The release date is the 20th of November 2015. Everything is in place for us to hit that date, but as we don't have the actual plastic frames in our hands right now, I can't give a 'cast iron' promise for that date, I'm sure you understand.

Cheers
Nick

Really!?

[nicknorthstar]

And yes, with a bit of kit bashing using 20th C weapons, you've got Pulp Cultists!

[Harry von Fleischmann]

Just in time for cultist units for Dragon Rampant.....

[Timbor]

I like the box art, should be a good set!

[Ray Earle]

The 20th? But, but, that'll only give me a week to assemble and paint them before the campaign day! 

They look great, can't wait to see the other elements on the sprue. 

[ducat]

Looks cool.

Add a sprue of gun hands and they would be truly snapped up for other systems too I bet.

A question i have is do these or the soldiers have option for staffs? Have not seen any on the pics I looked at at present.

Cheers john.

Sweeeeeet!!! One for the campaign, and then one for a Mordheim Possessed warband. Sure, we're not playing any Mordheim at the moment, but you can never have enough warbands for it, now can you?

Nick, you and I may not know each other that well yet, but you make me a happy man!! Now all I need is some money. :-(

[Harry von Fleischmann]

Oh and some sons of the harpy type heads would be.....useful

[The Dozing Dragon]

Oh yes please!

The cultist box will include spears, so you can always snip the spearheads off and use those. Otherwise, a quick drill and rod insertion will do the job!

Really!?

Totally with you Nick. I suspect you may have some idea of just how versatile these models are gonna be across just so many systems! This is what people have been waiting for for years, I reckon, and if these don't sell like absolute hot cakes I will be extremely surprised. The soldiers box set was brilliant enough, and this promises to be a real winner -  daresay they will form the basis of several modelling projects for me outside of Frostgrave (as well as within it).

Great work, very excited to see the end result and I shall be waving a £20 in my clenched, sweaty little fist as soon as I can .
