I've started on some stuff for Frostgrave to go with my random assortment of adventurers.

Frostgrave markers
Scratch built from various things such as GW shield patterns, a gravestone, skaven bits and so on





Thief
A Reaper bones figure. Nice pose but average sculpt and the some the fine details (like the face were hard to pick out). I went a bit overboard on the shading on the cloak but it stands out!




Ice Giant
Another Reaper Bones figure and a fantastic model. Very pleased with how this came up and it was a joy to to paint.




I've got some more Frostgrave stuff on the painting bench such as some Imps, demon and some more adventurers on the way

The abbey is another lovely model!


Rubble
This was all the leftover pieces of card, balsa and foam board used to make the model. Normally it would go in the rubbish but I kept it to use for rubble.



"Normally it would go in the rubbish...."  The big problem with this hobby - you can use everything and should not throw anything away.

Hi all

I've finished a couple more figures for Frostgrave and photographed them hanging outside my Abbey


Female apprentice

Another Reaper Bones figure which has come up very nicely. Lovely sculpt but the casting was not great. I replaced the staff as the original was a bit of a blobby. The new staff is part of a GW undead standard and the crystal ball is a bead (which i left as is) and it looks very good.





War dog
A Ral Partha figure I had in my collection. A very cool looking figure which unfortunately the painting and photos don't show! Great model.




Thanks for looking

I've finished off another handful of Reaper Bones figures.

Imps
First is some is Imps which are very cool figures with lots of character and fun to paint



Adventurer with bow
A typical heavily laden figure from Reaper with lots of bits to paint. Apologies for the poor photo.




The last few figures I posted (including this adventurer) I haven't been very happy with the flesh and the faces in general. I'm going back repainting the faces and painting the eyes and the lips, as they look too plain otherwise. So I will repost a few figures with the improvements.

Cheers

Outstanding thread and project. This is why the internet was invented so that guys like you could share your creative output and inspire (make jealous?) the rest of us. Great stuff here and brilliant terrain building skills (and patience) on display.

Thank you guys. I don't think my stuff is as good as a lot of the things you see posted here, but I'm always trying to improve.

I managed to photograph some more figures. This Barbarian has been on the painting table for a loonng time due to me having issues with the crappy casting and some undercoat problems (which were never fully solved)

I converted the figure the original had a tiny head and the axe was pretty poor. So I added a GW head and a Wargame factory shield along with a GW shield pattern. I also green stuff parts of the cloak again to cover the crappy casting. Aside from the issue with the undercoat still seeping through, the figure looks great and painting the eyes really lifted the model. So a good result!

Finished model



I will add more soon as I got some time today to photograph some Frostgrave terrain and figures
