[Koyote]

Nicely done.

Which manufacturer makes the barbarian?

[CthulhuPunk]

He's from Hasslefree Miniatures and goes by the lovely name "Volk the Bastard"!

Been busy trying to finish my other key warband members, namely the Wizard, Apprentice and Marksman. Hopefully will be in a position to share next week!

Inbetween waiting for paint/greenstuff/glue to dry I did manage to get another scenario's worth of beasties completed - The Living Statues. Apologies to any LoTR fans out there, but these spare figures were the best statues I could find. Hopefully you'll agree they were sacrificed for a good cause.



I kept them separate from their plinths so that once activated they can get off and chase..



One thing I love about Frostgrave is that the scenarios require you to scratch build stuff to fulfill the brief and it's been a real pleasure seeing so many carried solutions on this board. These guys actually only took about an hour to do (ignoring drying times) and required nothing more technical than successive drybrushes, but I'm looking forward to some of the more 'technical' scenario requirements....

That weathered brass/bronze look is fantastic!

love the statues !!

Another week and I only just got some stuff done in time. So close to being able to finish the Celtic Slaine warband with my wizard and apprentice witches, but in the meantime I did finish my Marksman. He'll double as a plain archer when I do starter games, but I wanted an excuse to use this reaper mini for ages!



My quick botch-jobs this week are a trio of armoured skeletons to join my other undead encounters. These, and the guys below, are just cheap reaper Bones. I wanted to make the armoured guys look rusted and ancient so gave them a coat of AK Interactive rust streaks as a wash, which I normally reserve for tanks. Not to shabby, but a bit of a gloss finish unfortunately.



And my original guys from a while back...



Almost a complete set for undead encounters, but will be adding more.

Finally, I found this miniature from Reaper I'd never seen before & fell in love with it...



It's officially a wendigo. For Slaine fans, I felt it had the look of Lord Slough Feg? Waddaya think? Wasn't sure to use as a major demon, or as a wendigo (which suits the setting) and make up some stats. But then it also looks like a zombie Rangifer! Interested what people think would be the best use...

[Psychoflexible]

I Knew that mini but never though for a Feg use !

My own Feg is a lord of feast of horde range:
with small conversions but the mini is a bit tall

Another mini you can use as Feg is one of the druid from Warlord Games hail ceasar range. But it is a bit small (I use RBG barbarian as drunes)

And North star sell a perfect one:

Also Game zone have a not Feg mini:

Wow, thanks for all the links! The Hordes mini is excellent, and I think I may have found my crow master (with a bit of tweaking!). Really like the Gamezone miniatures one too...very, very close to the original Slaine version I wanted.

[Psychoflexible]

You are welcome. As Slaine's fan I must help fellow hobbyist to find the right Feg !

Too busy to post last week, but happy to have finally finished my wizard! This is my Witch, Fellanna and her trusted summon, Blightfang. Just my apprentice to put the finishing touches too then I'll have a fully painted warband. My own fault for getting distracted by scenery and monster projects along the way! When all are done I'll post a group shot.

Very sorry about the grainy pic, I only had my iPad on hand at the time. Appreciate tips on what kit other people use for photos.



I tried several methods of applying blood (washes, games workshop blood stuff etc) but my snow flock keeps turning it pink!

[Harwood Hobbies]

Nice painting on the witch and wolf!  Who does the gribbly creature next to the skeletons?

[von Lucky]

Many different painting techniques that really make this collection one I am envious of. Keep it coming.

[CthulhuPunk]

Thanks for the comments!

Harwood Hobbies - the creature you are referring to is a conversion I did....



I needed a dungeons and dragons monster called a Nothic for a game, they look like this:



So I took the Reaper Bones demon mini below and chopped off the wings, then half it's face and did a bit of greenstuff sculpting to get the bulbous eye.



I just use him as a general gribbly in Frostgrave!

[CthulhuPunk]

So full of flu right now, but soldiered on and finished my Teleportation Discs for The Keep scenario. My airbrush is undergoing 'maintenance' at the moment (I.e. The soaking of a lifetime in strong cleaner) but wanted a glowing magic look so had to do the glow effect using good old dry brushing, so quite surprised at how ok it turned out!



They come from the Cthulhu Wars boardgame and just happen to a) be 2" diameter and b) fit a 30mm base in the middle!

[Hobby Services]

Very nice.  Have to get some of those for my own projects.
