Today I dusted off the Frostgrave terrain and did some quick pictures. Some are rough and out of focus unfortunately. I think I'll need a full Sunday afternoon with good natural light to do this properly, followed by cropping and editing them (played with the colour balance) . The background is simply polystyrene sheets but I'l like to make some proper backgrounds one day.

90% of everything fits into one of these Ikea boxes, but since I'm expanding into forests and some rocky crags (WIP) i'll need to stretch it out to two. I'm planning on a large centre piece of terrain in the new year, it will find use in Frostgrave but it's actually for another project and range of miniatures I'll be doing.

Oh and a very rough practice at photo editing (I'm very rusty).

I've said it before, but this is the kind of terrain that I want to have for Frostgrave. Good thing you posted plenty of WiP shots and it seems to be pretty easy to build actually, so... Yes! Thank you for this!

Thanks.

I'll do a proper tutorial for the next thing I build... I'll just say it now, it's going to be a circular keep perched on rocks with a stone bridge leading up to the gate. Kind of like Helms Deep. The keep will only be half circular (the front) and the back will be open so I can do multiple interior levels. I have the materials prepped it's just a matter of finding the time!

Wonderful. It looks super cool, especially the street on pillars.

Thanks, it actually makes a good bridge for playing across a frozen river! Just line up the walls and some trees along the banks. It's in two parts and all the terrain is the same height so lots of different configurations.

This is absolutely gorgeous terrain. Really inspires me to do the same. Minis are beautifully painted as well. Will be following this thread with interest!

Well my gaming plans didn't come to fruition over the last few months, but I'm now getting on with painting up my latest warbands.

I've always done dark and moody miniatures but I'm leaning towards a more bright and whimsical, almost Terry Pratchet feel for my Frostgrave stuff these days.

Behold my Necromancer and his companions, setting out to gather treasure and riches as a means to found a new school of Necromancy.

Those are beauts! I honestly don’t think I’ve ever painted a mini purple, must give it a go!
