The setting and general feeling of Frostgrave has really hooked me. Being a perfectionist, I am working on quite a collection of miniatures for such "small" game. I plan to share my progress with conversions and painting once in a while.

Let's start with some soldiers. Nothing special here, just common kit-bashing and little bit of epoxy putty here and there. I love the versatility of the soldiers box and the number of bonus pieces on the sprue. Few bits came from various GW sets and Fireforge foot sergeants.

Thugs and Archers

Infantryman, Crossbowman and Treasurehunters

Men-At-Arms and Knights

I am even more excided about the cultists box. Great dynamic poses, excellent detail...

These miniatures are actually intended to fill the ranks of my Kings of War Abyssal army. They will serve as Fleshlings - demon worshippers of various races. Because of that I have converted two cultist dwarfs and one elf.

Really sweet start! Now gives some strings to those bows! You know you want to!

Finally some zombies to cause problems - and also to boost my necromancer warband

Not sure about this one actually

I did do it, and it looks much better. Wasn't even hard. Just buy some of that sewing thread, use superglue, then when dry another drop and wrap the thread around.

My original Frostgrave warband is still in WIP stage but we have started to play anyway. Few pictures from yesterday evening when a necromancer, summoner, sigilist and illusionist met in the ruins of Felstad. Everyone had great fun. Particularly the illusionist had some clever tricks up his sleeve

Next time with snow battle mat and hopefully complete Frostgrave warband!

We just very stupidly forgot to use snow battle mat

This picture from Quirkworthy's blog has changed everything. Now I am choping half-painted miniatures from scenic bases and waiting for a pack of acrylic bases. Anyone using the same trick? I am sure that classic style bases look much better on a shelf, but this will make my minies really universal. Although attaching hounds, wolves and similar figures will be quite tricky...

I've started to use clear bases now. My Bolt action figures still go on 2p pieces, but any new projects will go onto clear bases.

It does take a bit of work to remove the built in lead oval base which comes on some metal figures but it's worth it I think. I probably used to spend about 1/4 of the time painting the figure on the base but now I can save that time and pai t more figures. ..

You're not alone in this. As I didn't have any collection of fantasy minis, I started collecting some that would fit in various settings, and I also decided to give them transparent bases so they match the terrain.
For wolves/hounds and such creatures I would go with bigger bases (32 or 40 mm), I don't think there are 25x50 mm clear bases out there.
