A tale of rival kingdoms, or my Frostgrave stuff
« on: October 18, 2015, 11:26:50 AM »
Introductions first maybe? I've been wargaming for most of my life, currently my main game is Warmachine/Hordes. Frostgrave caught my eye in the midst of a bout of Warhammer nostalgia in the summer when I saw the fallout around Age of Sigmar. I decided to get some stuff and see if I could get my girlfriend to play. This is an old project of mine, because while she is a geek who loves boardgames and geeky toys, wargaming has not held any appeal to her. She has at least grudgingly agreed to try the game and I'm hoping to play the first one today.

On to the topic of the thread then. There were two ideas I that came to me when I was planning out purchases; a mostly female warband lead by some familiar characters from a certain series of books, and a non-standard, non-european fantasy kingdom inspired by the official Witch model. Most of the following minis are kitbashed from various sources: Mantic Sisterhood, Warlord Zulus, Perry men-at-arms and Frostgrave soldiers. The metals are a mix of Reaper, Bombshell, Frostgrave and Micro Art studios.

What do you think of my vision of Frostgrave then?

First, the small and backwards Kingdom of Lancre expedition:











And second, the expedition to reclaim the old capital of the Kingdom of M'zu

Welcome to the party.

Nice looking minis, well painted and converted for really unique looking warbands. Thanks for sharing

Excellent warbands! Love the mix of stuff in the Witch's party and good ol' Granny Weatherwax looks the part in the other one. :)

I especially like the 2nd warband. Good use of parts.

Thanks everyone for the kind words! Prepping for our first game now. The board isn't finished though, so I may hold out on pictures until a few more items arrive.

Game mat and more snow flock arrived today! I'll take pictures tomorrow when the snow has dried. Just need to more scatter terrain now, and maybe some icicles.

And here we are. Spent yesterday evening applying snow flock to my terrain, and arranging it out on the mat. It's Deepcut Studios by the way.

Picture turned out a little dark, with there being very little natural light today. Winter is coming and all that....
