Frostgrave Warband
« on: October 19, 2015, 07:28:02 PM »
I entered into my first painting competition ever a few weeks ago - the goal was to have everyone equipped with a painted warband for a Frostgrave campaign at the local Club sometime this Winter.

I threw together some old Bretonnian models and a single Simon de Montfort figure as a templar. To everyones surprise, including my own, I actually finished them in time (well, almost, anyway). This is how they came out:





The paintscheme is totally stolen from a blogpost I saw long ago for some other game, but I thought it fitted the setting quite well. The Templar-Knight is sort of a Hedge-knight type, and so does not bear the heraldry of the rest of the warband, being loyal to the cause only for as long as the religious masters behind the warband keeps paying him.
The wizard is the big guy with the red beard, an enchanter, and his apprentice is the small fat monk. I see him as sort of a medieval warrior mystic, mixing priestly skills with those of a shaman. The Enchanter-school seemed to fit the model the best.

They are really excellent. So many great figures, and such good painting too.

I really like the templar figure.

Your warband is really cool. They all fit into place.

Thanks for the nice comments, I'm glad you like it.  :)
I've just seen a brilliant Hugo le Petit with an owl on his staff, and now I'm pissed that I didn't think of that  lol

Nice to see those old bretonians ready for action. Cool colour scheme. Nice backstory for the Templar as a hedge knight, a true mercenary, loyal as long as the money is good. Thanks for sharing
