Rogvald's Frostgrave (4/13)

[Smith]

The Steppe Warriors are almost ready for hire. These guys were inspired by http://frostgravery.blogspot.com/2015/11/adventurers-part-third.html as well as http://plasticmalpractice.blogspot.com/2014/03/a-first-post.html

Hey, they look nice! I love your Knight model there - really nice, natural pose from a combination of kits. Great job and, as jp1885, I'm glad that my few kitbashing efforts helped inspire this gang.

My only complaint is that they're much better painted than mine! :p

Great looking warbands.Thanks for sharing

This is a warhammer age of sigmar building, not sure what its called anymore. I quite like it, reminds me of the blades sanctuary or high hrothgar in skyrim. I may do a black wash over the gold areas, havent decided yet.





and here's a wip. I used cardboard for the base stengthened with a little hotglue. The model was glued to the base with hot glue and pva.  I think the model will stop any warping. the hotglue helps as well.


I also made this out of cardboard, hotglue, aquarium rocks and sand

Pretty excited about these pieces, they're all built from cork tile and cardboard.  Really easy to make! The hardest part was the arches, but still minimal difficulty.

Got some paint on this today.

Never thought of using cork...
A great idea, brilliantly executed!

Never thought of using cork?!? Don't tell me, jp, you are not familiar with Matakishi's seminal work in this area?:

There's pages of buildings for lots of periods/genres. Here's the Fantasy one but have a good crawl round the site - there's so much brilliant stuff:

Sad to say I have indeed missed this gem! 
Looks like I have some reading to do...

[ayak333]

I forgot where I nicked the corkboard idea from, it was most certainly from there!

[ayak333]

The archway section is complete!

Some Draugr painted up.The LOTR army of the dead now have some reinforcements. The non LOTR minis are warlord celts with mantic ghoul and GW skeleton heads. These guys feel a little like the Game of Thrones white walkers and zombies.


I wish I took a WIP picture of this rubble pile.  It's made from a cardboard base, one folded up piece of paper towel covered in a little water then PVA, irregularly cut cork tile pieces, and wooden coffee stirrers. 


This is the largely completed dollar store baby cart now turned awesome wagon.  The carriage is quite roomy and can fit 2 25mm bases no problem.  Here's the pre painted look: http://rogvaldmwb.blogspot.com/2016/04/cork-terrain-update-and-horse-cart.html


Here's a scratch built table from wooden coffee stirrers.  The beer barrel is a GW bit and was not glued on. Which was not done to ensure the tables variety of uses. 


This model's helmet was bugging the crap out of me.  The aventail was suffering from serious wind flow, and this slowly advancing model did not seem like he would incur that type of wind.  So my novice green stuff skills were put to the test. After a little knife work the green stuff was applied.  One tip I utilized was the use of water to avoid finger prints.  Im quite pleased with the result

Great Stuff! I love the baby carriage/wagon, it fits in well with the steppe figures.

[kerrick]

WOW! 

I'd really like to play in a table like that...

Great scenery really improves the experience, and having your minis painted too. And even more when it's done so well.

So jealous!!
